Agenda 06/24/2008 Item #16F 6 Agenda Item No. 16F6 June 24, 2008 Page 1 of 10 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Approval of a resolution to supersede Resolution 06-200, which directed the County Manager to establish a Floodplain Management Planning Committee, to add two additional positions for practicing civil engineers OBJECTIVE: To amend the existing Resolution 06-200 to add two (2) additional membership positions for currently practicing civil engineers and revise the names of the represented County departments and sections to reflect changes in organizational structure, CONSIDERATIONS: On July 25,2006, the Board of County CAlmmissioners (Board) adopted Resolution 06-200 directing the County Manager to establish a Floodplain Management Planning Committee (FMPC). He successfully accomplished that task by selecting staff members from the requisite departments, placing advertisements requesting interested members of the public to apply, and making appointments from the pool of applications received. The FMPC beld its ftrst organizational meeting on November 15,2006, and proceeded to work under the direction of the Community Development and Environmental Services (CDES) division to produce a revised floodplain management plan. - The Development Services Advisol)' Committee (DSAC) is a IS member committee created pursuant to Ordinance No. 95-60 to provide reports and recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, to assist in the enhancement of the operational efftciency and budgetary accountability within the Community Development and Environmental Services and Public Utilities divisions, and to serve as a primary communications link between the divisions, the development industry and the citizens and residents of Collier County. In reviewing issues and products coming from the FMPC, DSAC expressed concern that there were no currently practicing civil engineers (other than County or State employees) on the FMPC. During the January 9, 200S DSAC meeting, a motion was passed to recommend to the Board and the County Manager that two (2) professional civil engineers (non-governmental) be included as members of the FMPC. On March 6, 200S, Mr. William Varian, Chairman of the DSAC, wrote a letter to the Board requesting that positions for at least two (2) currently practicing civil engineers that may be involved in the local building and/or development industry be added to the FMPC membership. ~ During the April S, 200S Board meeting, the County Manager presented a discussion on Mr. Varian's letter as part of Agenda Item IS (Staff and Commission General Communications). The brief discussion ended with direction given to write a letter back to Mr. Varian to let him know that the FMPC founding resolution would be changed to include anywhere from one to two members from DSAC, whichever DSAC decides, on the FMPC. The April 16, 200S letter from Commissioner Henning, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, stated that the Board considered the recommendation of the DSAC that County Resolution 06-200 (which established the Floodplain Management Planning Committee) be revised to allow the appointment of "at least two (2) currently practicing civil engineers... ", and that the Board agreed with the recommendation of DSAC and gave direction to the County Manager to draft a revised version of County Resolution 06-200 accordingly and to subsequently place the revised Agenda Item No. 16F6 June 24, 2008 Page 2 of 10 drafted Resolution on an upcoming Board of County Commissiners meeting agenda for Board approval. County Ordinance 2001-55, as amended by Ordinance 2006-39 provides that no person shall serve on more than two (2) county boards simultaneously. With that clarification, the resolution has been revised to add two (2) public membership positions to the FMPC, with these two (2) new positions being reserved for currently practicing registered professional civil engineers. Given that the situation may occur that members of DSAC who are currently practicing registered professional civil engineers may already be serving on two county boards simultaneously, the revised resolution simply adds the two (2) positions, and it is left to the discretion of the Board as to whether they choose to fill the positions with DSAC members or publicly advertise the vacant positions, The resolution has also been revised to reflect a few changes in the organizational structures of the Transportation Division and CDES. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed for legal sufficiency and there are no outstanding legal considerations. -JW FISCAL IMPACT: None GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approves the Resolution superseding Resolution 06- 200, adding two additional members, and authorizes the Chairman to sign the new resolution.
