Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final July 13, 2021 <br />the Upper St. John's River Basin. He requested the assistance of County <br />Administrator Jason Brown to initiate discussions of a study with <br />representatives from the St. John's River Water Management District <br />(SJRWMD), St. John's Improvement District (SJID) and Indian River Farms <br />Water Control District (IRFWCD), and to any other entity that should be <br />involved. <br />Comments from Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, and <br />Commissioner Moss included appreciation for Commissioner Earman's <br />presentation with agreement that it was an idea worth exploring. Their <br />concerns involved discharges and the water treatment that would be required, <br />and also the difficulty of getting the regulatory agencies and special districts on <br />board to address water issues. Commissioner Adams suggested storing the <br />stormwater in an area north of the area suggested by Commissioner Earman, <br />and she also pointed out that there were grant dollars available that could be <br />used for resiliency. <br />Mr. Lex Kromhout addressed the Board with support for Commissioner <br />Earman's request. He suggested an area south of Fellsmere Farms for <br />stormwater storage, and he voiced concerns that he felt should be considered. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Chairman Flescher, <br />to direct staff to enter into discussions about the relocation of stored and excess <br />stormwater with representatives from the St. John's River Water Management <br />District (SJRWMD), St. John's Improvement District (SJID) and the Indian River <br />Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD).
