b. Prioritization Process
i. Discuss goal of prioritization
Ms. Cilek noted:
• The change from Class 5 CRS (Community Rating System) rating to Class 4 CRS rating
would require the County to meet certain prerequisites including those linked to possible
amendments to development regulations and the County is not pursuing any changes in
the rating class at this time.
• Staff prepared a "Floodplain Management Plan Mitigation Actions Commitment Status"
for information purposes which is intended to identify current activity for the goals of the
Floodplain Management Plan.
• Many of the items identified in the document are undertaken through Staff initiatives;
however future activities for the Committee include a public outreach program for the
purposes of educating the public on any FEMA map changes and input on the
development of a Low Impact Development manual.
• A new CRS manual will be available next year and Staff will be reviewing the changes to
determine any measures that may need to be addressed by the County.
ii. Options to prioritize
1. STAPLEE—(See attachment A)
2
August 3, 2016
Mr. Critchfield provided an overview of the "STAPLEE Methodology. A rating scale using
the methodology has been prepared for the Floodplain Management Plan goals.
The points are awarded for a goal being"Very Beneficial"—2 points; Favorable— 1 point
and None/Not Applicable—0 points.
2. Numerical Ranking
Under Committee discussion, the following was noted:
• Consideration should be given to adding a"cost and probability of the project being
constructed components"to the point system.
• Consideration should be given to altering the scoring system to provide more
variation(i.e. 1 —5 points versus 0—2 points) to aid in differentiating total point
scores for the projects.
• Staff noted the projects/goals are accounted for in County budgets.
3. CRS points
• It may be advantageous to outline the requirements for ascertaining a Class 4 CRS
rating (especially given"free boarding"will be a requirement for the County in 2017, a
current pre-requisite of the rating level).
• The requirements could be presented the Committee individually over a period of time
for discussion.
• The information could be presented to the BCC so they are aware of the costs and
benefits of making the change and if it should be pursued.
Staff will prepare a list of the requirements for the next meeting for discussion purposes.
iii. Conduct prioritization and discuss at 4th quarterly meeting.
None
c. Stormwater Projects update
Mr. Kurtz provided the "Collier County Stormwater Projects List update for the Floodplain
Management Planning Committee (July 26, 2016)" for discussion. He noted:
• Items 1 -13 are identified in the Annual Report and Inventory Update and being undertaken
at this time, while items 14 and beyond are for future consideration.
• Staff will be identifying the list of projects, and their funding status on the County website.
• The list was developed via public complaints on areas that need to be addressed, water
quality issues, known historical problem areas, etc.
Mr. Brougham initiated a discussion on whether the Floodplain Management Committee (FMC)
has, or should have any input on prioritization of the projects. He noted:
• Consideration should be given adding a cost/benefit, engineering, financial and quality of
life components to the projects.
• It may be prudent to identify the unfunded projects and the risks of not funding them and
provide the information to the BCC.
• Input by the FMC in developing the list could potentially increase the likelihood of funding
the projects.
Ms. Cilek noted the task may be outside the scope of the Committee and staff will investigate and
report back at the next meeting.

August 3, 2016
Committee discussion occurred noting it is a Staff function to prioritize projects and developing cost
estimates, however the Committee's could review the list and address funding issues associated with
the items.

Committee reviewed it at that time and the County is addressing items as funds become available.
