requires that the County complete a Stormwater Management Master Plan
(SMMP) by 13 July 2001; and
WHEREAS, the frrm of Camp, Dresser, and McKee has bee working to
complete the Stormwater Management Master Plan and has reviewe9 the Plan with
the Commissioners at its 21 June regular BOCC meeting; and

2. said Board directs staff to implement the Plan on County owned properties and
road rights-of-way; and
3. said Board requests that staff work with other agencies such, as the Florida
Department of Transportation, to see the Plan implemented on their properties
and road rights-of-way; and
4. said Board request that staff begin work as necessary to implement other
