Pelican Bay Services Division Water Management Committee Meeting
January 19,2016
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Mr. Henry Bachman commented on PBSD water management easements and his belief
of PBSD's violation of state statute forbidding"use of public funds for private benefit."
THE CONSENSUS OF THE COMMITTEE WAS TO DISCUSS ITEM#6C
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING AUDIENCE COMMENTS AS IT RELATED
DIRECTLY TO HENRY BACHMAN'S COMMENTS
COMMITTEE MEMBER SCOTT STRECKENBEIN LEFT THE MEETING AT 1:53 PM
LEGAL OPINION REGARDING PUBLIC FUNDS FOR WATER TREATMENT
Mr. Dawson recommended that the PBSD obtain a legal opinion from County Attorney
Klatzkow as to the specific water management responsibilities of the PBSD. Mr. Dawson
suggested that the PBSD is clearly mandated as the responsible party for the water quality of
Clam Bay, and therefore it would follow that the PBSD must also be responsible for the lakes of
Pelican Bay which all flow into the main water system and ultimately flow into Clam Bay. Mr.
Dawson suggested that a legal opinion would clarify PBSD responsibilities for residents with
different opinions on this issue, including those who believe that the PBSD is misappropriating
public funds for private benefit.
Dr. Trecker suggested that MSTBU funds are not public funds and are clearly identified
to be used for the benefit of Pelican Bay residents only. He discussed the uncertainty of whether
these MSTBU funds can be used for work on Pelican Bay private land. Dr. Trecker suggested
that the PBSD water management of all Pelican Bay lakes, including private lakes, would benefit
all Pelican Bay residents. Dr. Trecker provided a one page summary of his views on this issue
which was added to the record.
Ms. O'Brien suggested asking County Attorney Klatzkow to provide a list of documents
he would require in order to provide a legal opinion on this issue.
Mr. Dorrill reported that the PBSD holds the Pelican Bay master drainage permit.
Agnoli, Barber& Brundage has been tasked to provide an audit trail of all of the Pelican Bay
construction and operating water management permits; findings are expected to be provided next
month.
Mr. Cravens suggested that the committee waits to receive the Agnoli, Barber permit
results and then discusses conclusions at a future meeting. The other committee members
agreed.
PLANNING FOR WQ WORKSHOP: DR. TRECKER'S VIEWS, SUGGESTIONS AND
GOALS
Dr. Trecker discussed his goals, objectives, and suggested format and program for the
workshop. He provided a detailed outline for discussion points to be divided among Mr.
Cravens, Mr. Dorrill, Ms. O'Brien, and himself. All of these ideas were included on a three page
document which was added to the record. Copies of the brochure"Our Lakes in Pelican Bay"
will be distributed at the workshop.
Mr. Dorrill suggested including a discussion of the fertilizer used by PBSD and what
types of fertilizer are recommended.

Subject: RE:Opinion of Estimated Costs for North Berm Stabilization/Slope?
Lisa,
Attached is estimated cost. The total area is based on the assumption of 2 feet width for 5,030 linear
feet. The actual width could vary slightly, but this should be a good approximation.
The unit cost is estimated at$30 per sq.yd.which is approximately the FDOT current unit cost,and is
higher than the$24.67 cost from Quality Enterprises bid tab.
As you had requested prior to the Christmas holidays,we should probably survey several locations to
confirm the existing top of rock elevation to see if there are any variations.

Subject:Opinion of Estimated Costs for North Berm Stabilization/Slope?
Jim,
Would you please prepare an opinion of estimated costs for the option to add more riprap higher up on
the bank of the west side of the north berm to provide a consistent grass edge?
We are not interested in installing paspalum.
Thanks,
Lisa

Subject: North Berm stabilization/ slope
Lisa,
We reviewed the west side (mangrove side) of the north berm slope per your request and concern
about possible erosion. Based on a few site visits last week and our meeting on site Friday morning Dec.
11, it appears that the water level on the west side rises with tidal fluctuation,which deposits soil (dark

mud)on the rock rip rap. In several locations the soil saturation and mud also occurs behind the rock at
the edge of the grass bank and the grass is not growing all the way to the edge of the rocks. We checked
the water level a few days during last week just prior to and after high tides but at each occurrence the
water level did not reach the top of rock.
I don't see that erosion is occurring because there is not evidence of the bank washing out, nor of any
sand washing down from higher on the bank. There is a layer of fabric beneath the rock that is there to
minimize and deter erosion and keep the dirt in place on the bank. It appears that the water rises at
peak tides and stains most of the rocks up to or near the top of rock elevation. The soil is saturated in
areas behind the rock which is too wet for the grass to root in that area. There are a couple of solutions
that would improve the aesthetics and stabilization of the area behind the rock. One is to install a row
of salt tolerant grass such as paspalum that would be more acclimated to brackish water. This species
could be difficult to maintain and monitor, and to keep from growing between the rocks which might
produce an irregular grass edge. Another option that might require less maintenance is to install a layer
of rock higher up on the bank to provide a consistent grass edge. Fabric would not be necessary in this
area. The rock could be placed on the bank where needed to blend in with the existing rock. Please let
me know if you would like to explore these options and/or survey any of the existing bank elevations.
