Agenda 02/10/2015 Item #16A12 2/10/2015 16.A.12.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt a Resolution establishing the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement
Program Technical Advisory Ad-Hoc Committee for 12 months.
OBJECTIVE: To adopt a resolution establishing the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement
Program Ad Hoc Committee for a period of 12 months.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Watershed Management Plan (WMP), adopted by
the Board of County Commissioners in 2011, 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).
The goal of the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program (GGWIP) is an initiative to put
into action water management system strategies with high potential for overarching impact to
Collier County. The GGWIP program focuses on the watersheds that are generally within the
boundaries of the County's WMP's recommended 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 order 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 be directly
impacted by the implementation of the program. The GGWIP concept was presented to
representatives from government agencies and other non-governmental organizations during an
inter-agency workshop held on September 25, 2014. A technical advisory committee was
suggested to be created to advise County staff on the implementation of the program.
The Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program Ad Hoc Committee is suggested to be
composed of one representative from the following agencies, for a total of seven (7) members:
South Florida Water Management District/Big Cypress Basin Service Center
City of Naples
City of Marco
Collier Soil and Water Conservation District
Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
The County's Code of Laws and Ordinances requires that ad hoc or task force committees for
specific projects be appointed by resolution. The attached resolution would formalize the
creation of the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program Ad Hoc Committee to advise
County staff on the implementation of the GGWIP program for a period of 12 months.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this Executive Summary.
