EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendations on penal of the Golden Gate Watershed Lnprovemea` Program (GGWIP) Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee including: a) Extend the Committee until the completion of its business, b) Appoint City of Marco Island representative Chadd Chustz to fill the existing vacancy, c) Permit the Committee to establish sub-committees, d) Confirm that the Committee was established to address comprehensive watershed management, despite the Committee name which focuses on Golden Gate, and to rename it to be the Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Program Committee, e) Be advised that the Committee has tabled the concept of expanding Committee membership to include non-governmental representatives due to the technical focus of the Committee. OBJECTIVE: To allow the GGWIP Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee to continue to advise and guide comprehensive watershed management strategies with high potential for overarching impact to Collier County in accordance with the Watershed Management Plan. CONSIDERATIONS: On February 10, 2015, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) passed resolution 2015-32 endorsing the initiative to develop the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program (GGWIP). According to the resolution, "the purpose of this initiative is to develop and implement actions to manage water management system strategies with high potential for overarching impact to Collier County in accordance with the Watershed Management Plan." "It is necessary that the County works in concert with government agencies and/or non-governmental organizations that will be directly impacted by the implementation of the program." At the same Commission meeting, Resolution 2015-25 was also passed and it focused on establishing the GGWIP Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee to oversee the process. County staff contacted the agencies identified within the resolution and the Board appointed initial members to the GGWIP Committee via Resolution 2015-88 on May 12, 2015. The following recommendations are put forth by staff at the request of the GGWIP Committee. a) Committee Extension: During the February 10, 2015 Board of County Commissioners meeting (item number 16Al2), the Board, by unanimous vote, established the GGWIP Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee by Resolution No. 2015-25 with the purpose advising County staff and the Board on the development and implementation of the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program to put into action water management system strategies with high potential for overarching impact to Collier County. The Committee is due to sunset after one year on February 10, 2016, having held three meetings to date. Therefore, the Committee is requesting additional time to complete its work and requests an extension until the completion of its business. b) Appoint Marco Representative: In addition, the adopted Resolution requires that membership for this Committee is comprised of one representative from each of the following agencies: South Florida Water Management District; City of Naples; City of Marco; Collier Soil and Water Conservation District; Florida Department of Environmental Protection; Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve; and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Additionally, membership shall be Packet Page-508- 1/26/2016 16.A.8. recommended by his o:• he respective agency to the Board for consideration for anpointmem to tit commit:ee. !ht oriainaty appointe - Committee member from the City of Marco isiand, Dana Delmar, no longer works for the Cite and they have put forth Environmental Specialist Chadd Chustz as their new representative. Therefore. staff recommends the Board confirm the new representative from the City of Marco Island. c) Ability to Create Sub-Committees: The resolution that established the GGWIP Committee does not explicitly allow for the creation of sub-committees, however, the Committee sees this as an important tool that may be necessary to address the complex issues associated with watershed management. The use of a sub-committee may become necessary to effectively achieve Committee goals. In addition, this would allow for broader participation by stakeholders, such as non-governmental organizations or business representatives, who are not currently participating on the Committee. d) Confirm Comprehensive Nature of Watershed Effort: There has been confusion from Committee members and the public about the discrepancy between the name of the Committee which includes "Golden Gate" and the focus of the Committee which, according to the resolution, is more comprehensive. According to Resolution 2015-32, that endorsed the initiative to develop the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program, "this initiative, GGWIP, focuses on the watersheds that are generally within the boundaries of the County' s (Watershed Management Plan) WMP recommended list of capital improvement projects: Golden Gate-Naples Bay; Rookery Bay; Cocohatchee- Corkscrew; and Faka Union. The estuaries impacted by these watersheds are: Naples Bay; Rookery Bay; Wiggins Pass; and the Ten Thousand Islands." In addition, the resolution states that "the purpose of this initiative is to develop and implement actions to manage water management system strategies with high potential for overarching impact to Collier County in accordance with the Watershed Management Plan." The Committee is requesting confirmation that this broader mission, which includes the entire Collier County region, is the focus of their efforts, despite the name of the Committee which includes a place name of an area of Collier County (i.e. Golden Gate). Staff agrees that the Resolution is broader than the geographic location within the Committee's name and that renaming the Committee to be the Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Program (CW1P) Committee is appropriate and would clarify the Committee's intent. e) Advisement that Expanded Committee Membership Concept has been Tabled: GGWIP is a technical Committee comprised of specialized agency representatives with expertise in watershed management. Both Committee members and the public have discussed concerns about the lack of diversity on the Committee and non-governmental representatives have requested to have a seat on the Committee. During the November 20, 2015 GGWIP Committee meeting, the concept of expanding the Committee was tabled for future consideration and may require future guidance from the Board. If the Board authorizes the use of sub-committees, then this will allow for greater participation by stakeholders, such as non-governmental organizations or business representatives. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this Executive Summary. Packet Page-509- 1/26/2016 16.A.8. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. I have prepared twc proposed Resolution: `or tilt boa ie'r% The firs: oroo^oseo resoiutior, im temea tlx:' ?oiiowine enanees. 1. Renaming the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee to the Comprehensive Watershed improvement Program Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee. 2. Extending the sunset date of this Committee until the completion of this project. 3. Authorizing the Committee, by majority vote of the entire membership, to adopt rules of procedure, including the establishment of subcommittees, for the transaction of its business. The reason for extending the committee until completion of the project is my experience that these types of committees invariably want to continue meeting until they have completed their task and is consistent with the ad hoc committee ordinance, which provides "The Commission may, by resolution, appoint an Ad-Hoc or Task Force Committee for a specific project. The resolution must set forth the duties and responsibilities of the Committee and contain language that automatically dissolves the Committee upon completion of the project." To avoid having the Committee needing to request additional procedural requests from the Board, the proposed resolution gives them the express ability to adopt rules of procedure, including establishment of sub-committees. The appointment of Mr. Chustz is being accomplished by a separate resolution consistent with other Board appointments to advisory boards. With that noted, this item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is in accordance with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element and the Drainage Sub- element of the Growth Management Plan. RECOMMENDATION: To extend the GGWIP Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee until the completion of their work, to appoint Chadd Chustz to the GGWIP Committee seat as the City of Marco Island representative, to allow the Committee to create sub-committees, to confirm the comprehensive nature of the watershed planning to be addressed by the Committee by changing their name to the Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Program Committee, and to be advised that that the Committee has tabled the concept of expanding Committee membership.

NO. :t A RESOLUTION ENDORSING THE INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP THE GOLDEN GATE WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (GGWIP) WHEREAS, The coastal communities of Southwest Florida are consistently impacted by freshwater discharges from associated watersheds impacting the ecology of our waters, the quality of life of our citizens, area businesses, and having a lasting effect on our local economy. Discharges occur as a result of our man-altered landscape of flood control projects, channelization, and other land use changes that have occurred throughout the region over the past century. The current condition is much different from the original undeveloped state. The system we have today delivers water to the coast very quickly with tittle to no water treatment. This has resulted in our estuaries receiving too much water during the wet season and not enough water during the dry season. Untreated surface water runoff is laden with excessive nutrients that can stimulate harmful algal blooms. WHEREAS, Tourism and real estate tax revenue in Collier County generates billions of dollars annually. Local water quality can have a tremendous influence on consumer confidence and can greatly impact tourism and our local economy. In addition to impacts on our local economy, too much or too little freshwater delivered to the coast can effect critical estuarine resources such as seagrasscs, oysters and fishes. The combined impacts on the local economy and the ecology of our waters can greatly influence the quality of life of Collier County residents. WHEREAS, Collier County has conducted several studies, including the Belle Meade Area Stormwater Management Master Plan (2005) and the 1-Iorsepen Strand Conservation Area Feasibility Study Phase I (2008), that served as the groundwork for the Collier County Watershed Management Plan (WMP), adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in 2011. The AVMP is the County's guiding document that describes strategies to restore historical water quantity and estuarine discharges, improve water quality within the watersheds and estuaries, and address flood control and water supply issues (WMP, 2011). WHEREAS, The WMP prioritizes capital improvements projects (structural projects) for each of the County's main watersheds based on a methodology that evaluated potential projects on their viability to he permitted and constructed: the benefits yielded though performance me i,ures: estimated cost: and calculated benefit versus cost (BIC) ratio. Additionally, the WMP proposes complementing the recommended structural projects with non-structural initiatives in order to achieve the plan's restoration goals, WHEREAS, The purpose of this initiative, Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program (GGWIP), is to develop and implement actions to manage water management system • Packet Page-517- 1/26/2016 16.A.8. WHEREAS, This initiative, GGWIP, focuses on the watersheds that are generally within the boundaries of the County's WMP's recommended list of capital improvement projects: Golden Gate-Naples Bay; Rookery Bay; Cocohatchee-Corkscrew; and Faka Union. The estuaries impacted by these watersheds are: Naples Bay; Rookery Bay; Wiggins Pass; and the Ten Thousand Islands. WHEREAS,This initiative, GGWIP, also proposes to devise recommendations based on environmentally sustainable management system strategies aimed at protecting, preserving, and restoring the resource in areas, within the watersheds mentioned above, that have experienced the highest impact due to human activity, while encouraging efficient urban development in areas with the highest existing and potential urban development in the County. WHEREAS, To develop and implement this initiative, GGWIP, it is necessary that the County works in concert with government agencies and/or non-governmental organizations that will directly impacted by the implementation of the rogram i\�i i be ui :;�:�i im fiae��.0 by implementation program. .j...
