BOOK III PAGE` <br />TO: James Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: FY 1999-2000 St. Johns River Water Management District <br />Cost -Share Grant Application <br />East Indian River County Master Stormwater Management Plan <br />DATE: December 1, 1999 <br />The St. Johns River Water Management District is receiving grant applications for the FY <br />1999-2000 Cost -Share Program. Funding is available for 75% of the cost of preparing <br />stormwater master plans within the Indian River Lagoon Watershed. Staff has prepared <br />a grant application for a project titled the "East Indian River County Master Stormwater <br />Management Plan". This plan will identify the size and approximate locations of possible <br />areas for storage of stormwater within the 100 Year Flood Plain and the feasibility of <br />transmitting the water to the identified potential areas. The storage of stormwater runoff <br />will reduce flooding within the Indian River Farms Water Control District (East Indian River <br />County) and provide stormwater treatment by retention/detention, thereby meeting the <br />objectives of reducing fresh water discharge into the Indian River Lagoon. <br />Staff recommends that the Board authorize staff to transmit the grant application attached <br />and allocate $40,000.00 matching funds from the One Cent Local Option Sales Tax funds <br />previously set aside in 1998 for stormwater projects. There are sufficient funds available <br />since the County has recently received grants for other programmed projects. <br />1) Grant Application —G�[ la -G -G- e2 �L��- i <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board unanimously authorized <br />staff to transmit the grant application and allocated $40,000 <br />matching funds from the one cent local option sales tax funds <br />previously set aside in 1998 for stormwater projects, as <br />recommended in the memorandum. *See amendment below. <br />December 7, 1999 <br />92 <br />
