EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a budget amendment to transfer funds into the Freedom Park (aka
Gordon River Water Quality Park), Project Number 510185, in the amount of$139,040.85.
OBJECTIVE: To receive Board approval to transfer funds from Project Number 510059, 14th Street
Outfall Improvements and Project Number 510212, Fish Branch Creek Box Culvert, to the Freedom
Park, Project Number 510185.
CONSIDERATIONS: The purpose of the Freedom Park is to develop a stormwater management
facility that incorporates flood protection, water quality treatment and passive recreation. The project
will involve the creation of new functional wetland littoral zones and stormwater facilities to provide
attenuation and treatment for flows discharging into the Gordon River and Naples Bay.
Regulatory permit authorizations require water quality monitoring, wetland mitigation monitoring,
semi-annual monitoring and annual reporting. Funds being transferred are from two projects that are
complete, and the remaining funds are available due to receiving lower construction bids than
originally anticipated on these two projects. No additional funds are being used for the construction of
the project; however, transferred funds will be used for the on-going permit requirements including
water quality monitoring, wetland mitigation monitoring and reporting.
