1. Review and Approval of Revised CBAC budget
Gary McAlpin noted:
. The budget approved by the Clam Bay Advisory Committee on
September 24, 2009 has been decreased by $48,200,
. The reductions were based on the lack of available funding in Fund 111,
the General Fund,
. The Tourist Development Council's funding portion of the budget is
unaffected by the revisions as funds are available from this source.
. The main items of reduction are for the "Peer Review" and "Public
Outreach" portions of the budget (reduced from $50,000 to $15,000 and
$16,000 to $6,000 respectively.)
. The committee may re-allocate funds within Fund 111 as they see fit.
. The "Peer Review" will be conducted by authorizing 1 consultant for a
total review, separating portions of the study for review by different
consultants, identifying qualified parties who may conduct the review at
"no cost," etc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommend that the Coastal Advisory Committee approval the Clam Bay
Advisory Committee update report dated 9/25/09, extend the Clam Bay Advisory
Committee to June 30, 2010 and approve the proposed budget of $234,917
required to complete the development of a comprehensive, long term
management plan for the Clam Bay estuary.
OBJECTIVE: Recommend that the Coastal Advisory Committee approval the Clam
Bay Advisory Committee update report dated 9/25/09, extend the Clam Bay Advisory
Committee to June 30, 2010 and approve the proposed budget of $234,917 required to
complete the development of a comprehensive, long term management plan for the
Clam Bay estuary.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Clam Bay Advisory Committee, as part of its mission as
outlined in County Ordinance 2008-48, is charged with developing a Master Plan for the
health, management and long term viability of the Clam Bay Estuary. The Committee is
scheduled to sunset by December 31,2009 unless extended by the BCC. The attached
status report and budget funding request is due to the BCC by October 20, 2009 as
outlined in County Ordinance 208-48.
This report highlights the Committees major actions on its mission items and makes
recommendations for BCC consideration. In summary, the Clam Bay Advisory
Committee is requesting that this advisory committee not be sunsetted until the
Management Plan for Clam Pass/Clam Bay has been developed, vetted within the
community and approved by the BCC. This will require a first extension of the
Committee by the BCC through June 30, 2010. Additional extensions or permanent
status may be considered by the BCC at that time.
In order to accomplish this mission, water quality standards, monitoring programs,
mixing, flushing, and circulation data, along with natural resources characterizations,
must be performed. The Commission authorized $120,000 to evaluate all existing data
and move forward with the data collection phase of the Water Quality Study. The City of
provided $23,644 to perform the water quality program and together funding is available
to complete the data review and the data collection phase of this project. These items
are:
. Development of a Water quality program - $23,644: This included the review of
all the existing water quality data and all previous modeling studies along with
proposing water quality standards in Clam Bay in consultation with FDEP and
recommendations for a sampling program.
. Sediment and Biological Characterization - $20,804: This included sediment
sampling along with identification and characterization of the sediment in Clam
Bay.

BCC by the end of calendar year 2009.
