2. Sustainable Integrated Water Resource Management Strategy Presentation by Dr. George
Yilmaz, Public Utilities Department and David Wilkison, Growth Management Department
Dr. Yilmaz and Mr. Wilkison presented the PowerPoint "Sustainable Integrated Water Resource
Management Strategy Workshop" dated November 3, 2015 for informational purposes. The
following was highlighted during the presentation:
• Staff has developed a Sustainable Water Resource Strategy based on a similar concept
utilized in the Waste Management Division so the County may control its own destiny in
water resource management.
• The strategy includes developing a sustainable water supply for all uses and purposes in
the County ("Net Zero Water Footprint").
• Currently the County has approved resources for approximately 23 years with a goal to
extend the time frame to 50 years.
• The plan identifies projects by segregating them into time ranges. Short (1 — 5 years),
intermediate (6—20 years) and long (21 -50 years) range time frames.
• The projects include increasing the availability of irrigation quality water by supplementing
existing water supplies with ASR wells (Aquifer Storage and Recovery). There are
approximately a total of 50 planned for the County. Twenty of these would be supplied
with irrigation reclaim and stormwater harvests.
• The goal is to shift 40% of existing potable water used for irrigation to these recovery
wells.
• The Growth Management Department (GMD)will also play a role in the strategy in areas
such as stormwater planning & capital construction, secondary&tertiary system
maintenance and operation,pollution prevention and development review&permitting
with State Agencies.
• The GMD component of the strategy also identifies projects based on short range,
intermediate range and long range vision.
• One major avenue identified for funding these projects is implementation of a Stormwater
Utility(SWU).
• SWU's are an accepted practice (150 of 410 Florida Counties have an SWU)which
operates similar to a conventional water utility, collecting fees for the demands placed on
the systems.
The Board requested staff to complete a feasibility study on the SWU and submit it to them for
consideration. The study should: identify the amount of funding required for the projects and a
time frame that funding would need to be made available; demonstrate there are no other State
or Federal funding avenues available to develop and implement the SWU;give examples of
other County SWU Programs and the development a long term financial plan for the program.

Staff noted the cost of a feasibility study is estimated at$50k- $100k.
Board discussion included the following items:
• Permitting requirements for Golden Gate Estates lots with wetlands and a request that staff
submit requirements to Commissioner Henning.
• Concern on the amount of local funds available for identified projects given funding
available from Funds 001 and 111 have decreased from $13M in FY08 to $5M in FY16
due to changes in millage rates and taxable property values.
• Short range, intermediate range and long range projects identified should be prioritized via
color coding.
• Concern on how further build-out of eastern Collier County will affect water resources and
recovery as agricultural lands will most likely be converted to other uses. It was noted an
analysis of the Ave Maria area could be completed to determine the impact of development
on water resource planning.
• Concerns on future road development in Eastern Collier County and how parties operating
weirs may impact water resource planning in these areas.
The Board endorsed the following staff recommendations with related items to be brought
forward on regular agendas at future meetings as necessary:
1. Acceptance of Vision,Mission and Guiding Principles.
2. Investing in PUD financial resources.
3. Continuing to invest in PUD and GMD programs and infrastructure projects.
4. Updates to the LDC to reflect Vision,Mission and Guiding Principles.
5. Providing direction to conduct a SWU Feasibility Study, including financial and
corresponding infrastructure needs.
3. Public Comment
None
There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was adjourned by order
