•

Ms. Cilek noted Item #1 requires Staff to annually prepare and schedule the FMP progress report
by April of each year for the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). The format will be as
shown in the current report with updated columns added for each quarter following review by the
Committee. She provided an overview of the remaining items with the next draft being made
available at the Committee's meeting in May which will be further updated based on today's

ii. Stormwater Projects Status (EMA Item #8)
Mr. Kurtz provided an update on Item#8 with following noted:
• There is approximately $200M of backlogged County projects.
• The projects generally fall into two categories, capital improvements identified in 2006-
2007 before the economic downturn and funding was no longer made available and
"unfunded needs", which are mainly restoration projects not identified in the AUIR.
• Currently, the County allocates approximately $4.5M to new projects annually.
• The County does fund ongoing maintenance programs for existing improvements.
Committee Members expressed concern about the lack of funding for Stormwater projects,
noting the following:
• It would be advantageous to develop a risk assessment for the backlogged projects, given
they have been planned for a substantial amount of time with very limited funding
available.
• The BCC should be notified on a regular basis in regards to the status of the projects..
• It would be prudent for the Committee to take a more proactive role in ensuring the
projects are addressed given many have the potential to impact flooding conditions in the
County.
Staff noted:
• Emergency issues and maintenance items are addressed, but are not capital
improvements.
• There is a new Committee (Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Technical Advisory
Ad Hoc Committee) which is addressing large scale watershed issues in the County
which will aid in dealing with the implementation of Stormwater projects.
The Committee requested Staff to prepare options to address the funding concerns raised for the
backlogged projects so they may provide a recommendation to the BCC. The analysis should
include a risk assessment of the proposed projects and it may be beneficial to schedule a
Workshop with the BCC to ensure they are fully aware of the issues and impacts in the County.
b. New Mitigation Actions (NMA)
The Committee reviewed the Section of the Progress Report"New Mitigation Items."
Mr. Kurtz reported on the following items in#3: U4-; 1;Kes
• Naples Park Stormwater Improvements where Staff is coordinating with the Zzanspadatigua
Division.
• Griffin Road—under evaluation by Staff as it was placed on hold, but structure flooding
occurred recently at the end of January during a storm event.
• Ridge Road— Staff partnering with the City of Naples on an area of flooding for conveyance
to Goodlette Frank Road area.
He noted Staff is in the process of assessing the impacts of the storm event that occurred in late
January.
