r <br />13.A. CHAIRMAN RUTH M. STANBRIDGE - REPORT ON <br />TRIP TO TALLAHASSEE - (1) STORMWATER PLAN - (2) <br />REDISTRICTING - (3) HALLSTROM FARMSTEAD ON <br />NATIONAL REGISTER - (4) AMTRAK <br />Chairman Stanbridge reported on her meetings in Tallahassee last week regarding <br />lobbying for stormwater money which is very tight. We had requested $4,000,000 for Phase <br />2 of the Stormwater Plan and will be very lucky to receive $2,000,000. <br />Senator Pruitt is waiting for the redistricting and revenue lines to come in. They have <br />not yet set the budgets. <br />We had also requested a grant review for archeological surveys regarding land <br />acquisition. Unfortunately the universities got most of the money so we will have to <br />compete with them for dollars. <br />We were successful with having the Hallstrom Farmstead added to the National <br />Register which might bring another $500,000 in grant monies. <br />The Amtrak proposal is still on at the Washington level where they are trying to break <br />up the large system and bring back some ridership. That would help us on the east coast. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br />14.A. EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT <br />None. <br />FEBRUARY 19, 2002 <br />-67- <br />BM <br />
