4. Retroactive approval to submit a grant application to the Rockefeller Foundation for
the 100 Resilient Cities Centennial Challenge Program for technical and financial

The Rockefeller Foundation's mission since 1913 has been to promote the well-being of
humanity throughout the world. The Foundation has focused on two over-arching goals: to
achieve more equitable growth by expanding opportunity worldwide, and to build resilience
by helping people, communities and institutions prepare for,withstand,and emerge stronger
from acute shocks and stresses of our rapidly-changing, complex, and dynamic world. The
objective of the 100 Resilient Cities Centennial Challenge is to influence the global
discussion of resilience and surface new ideas and innovations on resilience that benefit the
residents of cities, particularly poor and vulnerable residents who are often
disproportionately impacted by shocks; and foster local discussions, planning and
collaboration that leads to resilience-building action in at least 100 cities globally. The
Rockefeller Foundation defines"resilience"as the ability of a system, entity, community, or
person to withstand shocks while still maintaining its essential functions and to recover
quickly and effectively.
To enable cities to better absorb the shocks of our world, and quickly spring back, The
Rockefeller Foundation is making a commitment to building urban resilience in cities around
the world.Through the 100 Resilient Cities Centennial Challenge, 100 cities from across the
globe will be selected to receive technical support and resources for developing and
implementing plans that will build greater urban resilience.Selected cities will be announced
in three rounds over the next three years,with the final round of selected cities announced in
2015. Each selected city will receive: 1) Membership in the 100 Resilient Cities Network,
which will provide support to member cities and share new knowledge and resilience best
practices; 2) Support to hire or fund a Chief Resilience Officer (CRO) to oversee the
development of a resilience strategy for the city and be part of a learning network of other
CROs; and, 3) Support to create a resilience plan, along with tools and resources for
implementation.The actual level of financial support will be determined individually for each
city and matching funds are not required.
The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (Compact) was signed by

and adaptation activities across county lines. The Compact represents a new form of
