AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: December 11,2013 Division: County Administrator
Bulk Item: X No Department: County,Administrator
Staff Contact/Phone#: Rhonda Haag. 453-8774
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution adding a seventh canal demonstration project for
Canal#288 in Big Pine Key, the second ranked canal under the weed gate technology group, as approved by the
WQPP Canal Restoration Advisory Subcommittee at an estimated cost of$36,000.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
At the October 16, 2013 BOCC meeting, commissioners raised the question as to why a canal wasn't selected
that offered only a weed gate and no other combined technology. At the Canal Advisory Subcommittee
meeting held on October 18, 2013, the issue was presented for discussion. The Advisory Committee agreed that
a demonstration project with only a weed gate would assist in eva➢uating the effectiveness and cost of this
technology. The second ranked canal under the "Weed Barrier" technology category, #288 on Big Pine Key,
was selected and the Advisory Committee voted to recommend that this project be included as an additional
demonstration project in order to gain information on the potential benefits of a Weed Barrier.
