Goal 3: High Quality Built Environment
Executive Summary:
CM Dawkins requested to discuss this topic.
Background:
In the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, staff provided Council with significant information and analysis regarding the operation and cost to repair private dams damaged thereby. The last presentation provided in June of this year discussed the option of converting breached dams into stormwater control measures. Council decided, however, not to fund the engineering study proposed to provide cost estimates and preliminary design information related to this option.
Issues/Analysis:
If Council would like to consider this issue further, then it will be necessary to identify which structures should be included in any study and the primary objectives of such an effort.
Budget Impact:
This activity is not funded in the current budget and would not be eligible for any federal, state, or grant funding. Staff can provide an estimate of any study cost once the scope is clarified by Council.
Options:
This item is for discussion purposes.
