Community Development Director Robert Keating provided background <br />information relating to the 2004 hurricanes, which resulted in the County receiving disaster relief <br />funds. He briefed the Board on the four projects that staff was currently working on: (1) <br />Rockridge Sanitary Sewer project, (2) Rockridge Storm Surge project, (3) Wabasso Water project, <br />and (4) Oslo Fire Station #4 project. Director Keating said the funds have "tight time frames" and <br />timing was not working for the Grant funds on the Rockridge Storm Surge project because staff <br />would not be able to complete the project within the required time frame. He requested the Board <br />modify the Grant proposal, reallocate the money among the other projects, and take the money <br />away from the Rockridge Storm Surge project. <br />Fred Fox, Fred Fox Enterprises, Inc., explained the proposed modifications of the <br />Grant to the Board (copy on file in the Clerk's office). <br />Administrator Baird clarified that the Rockridge Stormwater Project had run into <br />problems because they needed more land for the structures. He also noted that the Florida <br />Department of Transportation's drainage was causing backup and they were unable to get a permit <br />to clean out the canal. He said the project would take approximately two years to complete. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. There were no speakers and the Chairman <br />closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Vice Chair Bowden, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously approved <br />proposed modification #2 to the Disaster Recovery <br />Initiative Community Development Block Grant and <br />authorized the Chairman to sign appropriate documents for <br />March 20, 2007 11 <br />
