V. Project Manager Report:
A. Weir Project: A purchase order and Notice to Proceed(NTP) has been
given to Johnson Engineering to begin the survey. The NTP was executed
on February 24th, and gave 180 days to complete the work. The purchase
order has been provided to Stormwater Dept. folks to start on the
exotics/mangroves removal for Haldeman Creek. The project will begin
once surveying is completed. In approximately one week from March 3rd,
Earth Balance will begin the clearing. Roy Wilson asked if the pegs from
the survey will be put in, Elly McKuen stated there would be.
Jim King asked if there were any requests being done with the State to use
inmate labor to reduce the costs to the MSTU for clearing. Tim Durham let
the committee know that he did discuss with the Sheriff's office and they
only use inmate labor for light trash pickup, and weed whacking. Jim pointed
out that the State had an agreement with Road Maintenance to use inmate
labor to cut down exotics and mangroves and wondered why we couldn't use
them as well. Elly McKuen said she would check to see if that is something
she could request and get back with the Committee. Jim King suggested that
we request the help from the inmate labor to reduce the cost of the exotic
• removal even if it was a minimal reduction something was better than
nothing.

Roy Wilson discussed the need for an ordinance change to make property
owners, who are now responsible for removing/trimming their exotics, to be
responsible for removing/trimming anything that is impacting the use of the
Haldeman Creek waterways. Then he brought up the dredging that the
MSTU will eventually need to do and the sufficiency of the millage needed
to be ready for that eventuality. Tim Durham recommended the Committee
request State appropriation money to assist in a Feasibility Study that would
assist us in determining when we need to dredge.
B. BCC/CRA Annual Workshop: Time change only, Staff reminded the
Committee of the time changes from 1pm to 9arn because the
Commissioners have another commitment in Tallahassee after the
workshop.
VI. Old Business:
a. Goals and Objectives: Roy Wilson went over the goals and
objectives with the changes and asked for additional input. Jim King
suggested we look at 5.1 on the goals/objectives and asked if we can
make it happen with no budget to send out flyers, mailings, etc. He
• asked if we can make some educational efforts to update the property
owners of what their responsibilities are. Roy recommended we
revisit the goals and objectives at the next meeting and encouraged
recommendations.
b. Bay Days/Haldeman Cleanup: An email blast was sent out about
the Haldeman Creek cleanup, a few members were not included so
staff will update the group email with all the Creek members. Roy
Wilson wanted to get some areas assigned before the cleanup and
organized to include dumpster and trash drop off sites. Kate Riley
volunteered her property as a drop off site for the trash bags. There
will be a follow up meeting with Code Enforcement to organize the
clean up and areas marked where volunteers will be meeting up.
VII. New Business:
a. Regatta Boat Slips for sale: There was a flyer sent out for the boat slips sale and
it does state on the flyer they must be owners of a unit in Regatta to buy a slip.
