Re: Approval of a resolution supporting the FKWRI
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of resolution supporting the Florida Keys Water
Resource Initiative (FKWRI) Team and urging legislative funding for water resource
projects.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The South Florida Water Management District spearheaded the
formation of the FKWRI Team to identify and prioritize water resource projects with the
potential to be funded through SFWMD Local Government Agreements. The Monroe
County Engineering Division has requested $500,000 in project funding for construction
of stormwater management improvements for the Prado Circle and Avenue G
Stormwater Basins. It is the intent of the Engineering Division to construct the
stormwater improvements in coordination with the installation of the sewer system for
the area. This will require a $500,000 match from Monroe County.
An additional $100,000 was requested to hire professional services to identify additional
opportunities and associated costs to install stormwater management improvements in
coordination with future sewer projects and Seven -Year Plan road improvement projects.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: SFWMD has provided the County similar
funds in the past.
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: NA
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Approval.
