RECOMMENDATION:
It Is respectfully recommended that the attached Resolution be
adopted authorizing the City Manager to submit a Proposal for
Fiscal Year 1995 Stormwater Management Partnership Program
Cooperative Cost -Share Agreements to the South Florida Water
Management District for City stormwater drainage retrofitting
projects.
BACKGROUND:
Certain storm sewer retrofitting projects in the Wagner Creek and
Little River drainage basins are Included in the City's six year
Capital Improvement Program- to address stormwater drainage
problems Identified in the City's National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit Issued by the Environmental Protection
Agency. The Florida Legislature has made funding available for
such projects and has empowered the South Florida Water Management
District to administer these funds 'by entering Into cost -share
agreements, on a 50-50 basis, with municipalities. The City has
Identified three necessary projects totaling $2,500,000 that
qualify for these funds and a successful Proposal for a cost -share
agreement would provide $1,250,000 (50%) of State funds for these
projects. Funds are available for the City's share of the cost
from anticipated Fiscal Year 1995 Stormwater Utility Trust Funds.
The attached Resolution authorizes the City Manager to apply for
