Director Keating noted that it has been difficult to get a <br />handle on exactly what we need to do from a planning perspective <br />with respect to drainage and determining who is responsible out <br />there. We have the water management district that has the large <br />scope and then we have the water control districts that actually <br />own and manage most of the stormwater facilities in the urbanized <br />area of the county, particularly Indian River Farms Water Control <br />District. <br />Director Keating reviewed staff's recommendation for deleting <br />Policy 3.4 of establishing a stormwater utility fund which is <br />currently in the Comp Plan. <br />County Engineer Roger Cain advised that we are doing a lot of <br />drainage activities now without any dedicated funding, which gets <br />to be a bit of a problem because the money must come from other <br />sources. A stormwater utility fund would provide a funding source <br />for drainage improvements that are not connected with roadways. <br />Commissioner Tippin emphasized that he receives more calls <br />from residents in his district about drainage than anything else. <br />He felt it is something that has been seriously neglected. <br />Direction was given to staff to retain Policy 3.4 to establish <br />a stormwater-utility fund. <br />NOVEMBER 5, 1996 15 BOOK 99 i'A�E 6.44 <br />
