This is a group I just heard about from Doug Krueger, the Budget Director at Lake County. He said Lake County is just joining this group, located at http://www.flbenchmark.org/ .
It is based at UCF in Orlando, and has about 40 Counties and Cities as members.
Lake County is NOT on their member list, but Doug says they are joining it.
The purpose is to develop consistent, shared performance benchmarks for members, such as a standard set of performance benchmarks for fleet maintenance.
It did NOT appear that any School Districts are part of this consortium.
