Barton, <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />BY: l 1� <br />Fran B. Adams, Chairman <br />FLORIDA YARDS AND NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM - AGREEMENT <br />WITH S.IRWNID - AMENDMENT #2 <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of August 19, 1996: <br />DATE. 19 August 1996 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THROUGH: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR - DEPT. OF GENERAL SERVI <br />FROM: DANIEL F. CULBERT, MANAGER - COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE <br />e�6 <br />SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENT #2 OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN StIRWMD & INDIAN <br />RIVER COUNTY for FLORIDA YARDS & NEIGHBORHOOD (FYN) PROGRAM <br />A <br />A grant funded public educational effort entitled the Florida Yards & Neighborhood Program <br />for the Indian River Lagoon was implemented as a result of an Agreement between Indian River County <br />and the Saint John's River Water Management District. The Agreement was entered into on July 12, <br />1995, and amended on 5 March 1996. <br />A second amendment to this Agreement is proposed that would increase the Program Budget to <br />$112615.64. Additional funds in the amount of $9,999 are being made available from the St. Johns <br />River Water Management District and the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program for the <br />employment of a part-time program assistant. This person would perform clerical tasks, volunteer <br />management and computer data entry in support of the Florida Yards Program for the citizens of Indian <br />River County, at no additional cost to the County. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The Florida Yards & Neighborhood Program is designed to teach the public about practices <br />that will reduce the amount of non -point source pollution entering the Indian River Lagoon. Grant funds <br />have been used to hire an Extension Agent that works out of the Indian River County Agriciiltural <br />Extension office. This agent has support responsibilities for the six (6) counties involved in the project. <br />Based on the training and work experience of the agent hired, the original amount of this two-year <br />grant ($102,616.64) was insufficient to fund the salary and benefus for both a multi -county agent and a <br />Part-time program assistant as originally planned. County Administrator Jim Chandler recommended that <br />the Board amend the original Agreement (Amendment #1) to eliminate the part-time program assistant <br />position. <br />The multi-couuty agent and County Extension Director have been sharing the work of the <br />program assistant within Indian River County. This arrangement has slowed down the rate of progress <br />of the project due to the volume of other responsibilities expected of these individuals. Acceptance of <br />'these funds will enable the FYN multi -county Agent and County Extension Director to concentrate on <br />educational program development and promotion. <br />SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 <br />36 <br />
