Part of that foundation is helping to fund study-abroad trips, some of which you will read about in this report. Our students study abroad at twice the national average, giving UNF students a distinct advantage in the global job market after graduation. They are world citizens who know how to communicate and navigate abroad, giving them a huge lead over their counterparts from other schools. They are also gaining valuable Transformational Learning Opportunities opportunities abroad, but you will also learn about the people who have while abroad, one of the hallmarks of a UNF education.

  • Outline of the History of Consolidated Government in Jacksonville, Florida James C
    Outline of the History of Consolidated Government in Jacksonville, Florida James C. Rinaman, Jr., Esquire April. 2013 I. CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENTS--FORM OR FUNCTION--HISTORY. A. Consolidated governments have been created in relatively few American cities, including New Orleans 1805; Boston 1822; Philadelphia 1854; New York 1874; San Francisco 1880; Honolulu 1907; Baton Rouge 1949; Miami 1956; Nashville 1963; Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Jacksonville 1967; Indianapolis 1968; Carson City, Nevada and Juneau, Alaska 1970's, Columbus, Georgia; Lexington, Kentucky; and Oklahoma City, 1972. In 1998, Toronto was consolidated into a 350 square mile municipality of 2.5 million people, and in 2003 Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky was consolidated. B. Among 135 attempts to create a consolidated government between 1921 and 1977, 22 passed and 113 failed, including Daytona Beach, Tampa, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Pensacola, and Palm Beach in Florida, and Chattanooga, St. Louis, Des Moines, Memphis, Richmond, Raleigh/Durham, Knoxville, Albuquerque and Portland. (1949 Osceola County High School consolidation failed due to petty jealousies between St. Cloud and Kissimmee) C. Florida's traditional local government forms. Until 1968, Florida cities and counties had only those powers specifically authorized by the Florida Legislature. 1. County--roads/courts and law enforcement/collect taxes for the state/county school districts. 2. Cities--broad municipal services (fire, police, water and sewer, streets, health, sanitation, recreation, etc.). 3. Special authorities, tax districts, and independent agencies--drainage districts, ports, bridges, utilities, etc. (Disney World/Reedy Creek Drainage District) 4. 1934-1957 constitutional amendments permit Dade, Monroe, Duval and Hillsborough to create varying forms of consolidated government with home rule (implemented only in Metro Dade 1956 and Jacksonville 1967).
