Agency Strategic Plans
From the mid-1990’s through FY 1999-2000, all state agencies were required by Chapter 186, Florida Statutes, to annually develop an
agency strategic plan (ASP) and performance report. The ASP required that the agency identify:
the strategic issues critically important to meet the needs of Floridians and stakeholders;
priority directions an agency will take to fulfill its mission within the context of the State Constitution, the State Comprehensive
Plan, Florida Statutes, and other statutory mandates or authorizations; and
broad goals and intermediate objectives.
The ASP must have at least a five-year outlook or scope.

Long-Range Program Plans
The 2000 Legislature significantly revised the State of Florida’s planning and budgeting requirements.
Under the new framework, the state uses four processes blended into a comprehensive, integrated system to manage how
agencies meet the needs of Florida citizens. This planning, budgeting, performance accountability and reporting system
directly links policy priorities to agency services and activities and their associated outcomes, outputs and costs.
The state’s integrated management system uses agency Long-Range Program Plans (LRPPs) to provide the
framework and context for agency budgets. The framework contained within each agency plan is directly linked to the agency
budget and accountability structure. The LRPPs are goal-based plans with a five-year planning horizon. The plans focus
on agency priorities in achieving the goals and objectives of the state. Annually, agencies conduct a Strength, Weakness,
Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) analysis. The analysis includes an assessment in four areas: agency mission, stakeholder needs,
agency internal environment and the external environment outside of the agency. The results of the analysis are used to
establish agency priorities and to justify agency services and activities needed to address state goals and objectives.

Performance-Based Program Budgeting
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has operated under Performance-Based Program Budgeting
since State Fiscal Year 1998-99. The original performance measures were developed in coordination with the Governor’s
Office and State Legislature to assess the performance of approved programs and services. The Legislature reviews these
measures annually and evaluates agency progress towards meeting the legislatively adopted performance standards.
The performance standards are established by the Legislature and included in the General Appropriations Act and Implementing
Bill annually.
