Wheeler, P.E., City Engineer DATE: June 13, 2005 RE: The City of Ocoee's Participation In The Master Stormwater Management Plan Pursuant To The Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act ISSUE Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve $6,500 from Stormwater Operating Fund contingency to pay City's fair share of the cost of the stormwater master plan for the Wekiva Parkway and protection act. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The State Legislature enacted the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act during the 2004 session. The Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act is designed to protect the surface and groundwater resources within the Springshed of the Wekiva River system, while also guiding the design of the transportation corridor known as the Wekiva Parkway. The Act includes a requirement for the local governments to develop stormwater master plans and to amend their Comprehensive Plans to implement stormwater plans. The District staff coordinated with the local governments within the Wekiva Springshed, and the majority of the entities have indicated that they would prefer to complete a regional stormwater master plan rather then each embarking on their own master planning effort. The local governments included in this effort are the Cities of Altamonte Springs, Apopka, Eatonville, Eustis, Lake Mary, Longwood, Mount Dora, Ocoee, Orlando, and Winter Garden; Town of Oakland; Lake County, Seminole County, Orange County, and the Water Management District. The Total cost of the Master Stormwater Plan is estimate to be $223,000. Ocoee's share of this project is projected to be only $6,500. The Water Management District is contributing $75,000 to the project. The remainder of the monies will come from the other government entities. It is estimated that if Ocoee were to prepare its own Stormwater Plan to meet the Wekiva Act it would cost $50,000 or more. Therefore staff believes that it would be prudent to participate in the Master Stormwater Plan and share cost and information. Staff has attended all meetings to date and has furnished the asked for data to the District's consultant. RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully requests the Honorable Mayor and City Commission to approve $6,500 from Stormwater Operating Stormwater Fund Contingency to pay City's fair share of the costs and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Revenue Agreement.
