9 409.147 Children’s initiatives.—
10 (9) CREATION OF THE NEW TOWN SUCCESS ZONE.—
11 (a) There is created within the City of Jacksonville
12 Council District 9 in Duval County a 10-year project that shall
13 be managed by an entity organized as a corporation not for
14 profit that is registered, incorporated, organized, and operated
15 in compliance with chapter 617. The New Town Success Zone is not
16 subject to control, supervision, or direction by any department
17 of the state in any manner. The Legislature determines, however,
18 that public policy dictates that the corporation operate in the
19 most open and accessible manner consistent with its public
20 purpose. Therefore, the Legislature declares that the
21 corporation is subject to chapter 119, relating to public
22 records, chapter 286, relating to public meetings and records,
23 and chapter 287, relating to procurement of commodities or
24 contractual services.
25 (b) This initiative is designed to encompass an area that
26 is large enough to include all of the necessary components of
27 community life, including, but not limited to, schools, places
28 of worship, recreational facilities, commercial areas, and
29 common space, yet small enough to allow programs and services to
30 reach every member of the neighborhood who is willing to
31 participate in the project.
32 (10) CREATION OF THE PARRAMORE KIDZ ZONE.—
33 (a) There is created within the City of Orlando in Orange
34 County a 10-year project managed by an entity organized as a
35 corporation not for profit that is registered, incorporated,
36 organized, and operated in compliance with chapter 617. The
37 Parramore Kidz Zone program is not subject to the control,
38 supervision, or direction of any department of the state. The
39 Legislature determines, however, that public policy dictates
40 that the corporation operate in the most open and accessible
41 manner consistent with its public purpose. Therefore, the
42 Legislature specifically declares that the corporation is
43 subject to chapter 119, relating to public records, chapter 286,
44 relating to public meetings and records, and chapter 287,
45 relating to procurement of commodities or contractual services.
46 (b) This initiative is designed to encompass an area that
47 is large enough to include all of the necessary components of
48 community life, including, but not limited to, schools, places
49 of worship, recreational facilities, commercial areas, and
50 common space, yet small enough to allow programs and services to
51 reach every member of the neighborhood who is willing to
52 participate in the project.

55 Success Zone, and the Parramore Kidz Zone have been designated
56 as Florida Children’s Initiatives consistent with the
57 legislative intent and purpose of s. 16, chapter 2009-43, Laws
58 of Florida, and as such shall each assist the disadvantaged
59 areas of the state in creating a community-based service network
60 and programming that develops, coordinates, and provides quality
61 education, accessible health care, youth development programs,
62 opportunities for employment, and safe and affordable housing
63 for children and families living within their boundaries.
64 (b) In order to implement this section for the Miami
65 Children’s Initiative, Inc., the Department of Children and
66 Families Family Services shall contract with a not-for-profit
67 corporation, to work in collaboration with the governing body to
68 adopt the resolution described in subsection (4), to establish
