• <br />0 <br />Public Works Director James W. Davis commented that this is a master stormwater <br />management plan for the Indian River Farms watershed area. Also, the Legislature has just <br />come out with an initiative requesting funding to build projects such as what the master plan <br />will recommend for the FY 2000-2001 legislative budget process. Applications for <br />construction of these projects are due at the end of this month and require a 50% match. It <br />also requires a definitive program concerning how these master plan drainage systems would <br />be maintained and funded for operation. While it may seem a little premature to apply, staff <br />had received an indication from the St Johns River Water Management District that it might <br />be appropriate for the County to also make application to the Legislature at an early stage to <br />get a construction project in their process. Granted, it would be conceptual, and the <br />matching funds could perhaps come from other local/state /federal sources, but staff would <br />like to move ahead and make that application working with Marty Smithson at the Indian <br />River Lagoon Program. Mr. Davis displayed a graphic of the 100 -year flood plain and <br />pointed out the area that the stormwater wants to seek when the canals cannot discharge it <br />to the Indian River Lagoon. The GIS system being implemented by the Property Appraiser's <br />Office is a tremendous help in defining the 100 year flood plain and doing some of the <br />stormwater management activities. <br />Commissioner Ginn commented that she was very pleased to see how far out in front <br />the program is. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge also wanted to note that Representative Sembler was very <br />much in tune with what we are trying to do on the legislative grant and encouraged us to go <br />forward with that grant application on December 30'h. <br />December 7, 1999 <br />93 <br />BOOK FAGE �' <br />
