Keating, AICP - EFERENCES: Planning_& Development Director It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 4, 1984. On December 1, 1982, the Board of County Commissioners entered into a joint funding agreement with the U.S. Geolog- ical Survey for water resources investigations. As ap- proved, the water resources study is a three year project with the U.S.G.S. having the lead role. Begun in FY 82/83, the project is currently in its second year with completion expected in the 84/85 fiscal year. Throughout the project period, the U.S.G.S. personnel have been working extensively with the Planning Department staff. Much of the work completed to date has involved data col- lection, sampling, and other field studies. -Although- detailed analyses of the data have not yet been completed, the U.S.G.S. has provided the staff with useful information. The Planning Department has monitored the status of this project and is satisfied with the progress made to date. The U.S.G.S. has recently sent three copies of the Joint Funding Agreement between Indian River County and the U.S.G.S. for the October 1, 1983 to September --'30, 1984 fiscal year. This agreement commits the County to its $38,000 share of the project's cost for the 1983/1984 fiscal year. This amount, however, was budgeted for the current fiscal year and is available. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached joint funding agreement and authorize its execution. 5 APR -41984 BOOK 56 PAGE 515 I
