Adoption of the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Project Plan 2021 Update unanimously recommended by the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Citizens Oversight Committee

Fiscal Impact:
The recommended plan update recognizes a $5 million decrease in total revenues to be generated by the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Surtax over its 10-year life (reduced from $494 million to $489 million) and a net increase of $1.3 million allocated to projects. These changes are covered by the $6.3 million of trust fund revenue that was left unallocated in the 2020 Plan. The net changes in allocation, broken down by project type, are as follows:
* $2.6 million more for connecting the worst package treatment plants to central sewer;
* $0.4 million less for added treatment at package plant infiltration basins and spray-fields;
* $0.4 million more for additional septic to sewer projects;
* $0.3 million more for stormwater treatments and vegetative harvesting projects;
* $0.3 million more for oyster gardening, per April 7, 2020 Board direction;
* $0.2 million less in the 5% contingency; and
* $1.7 million less for inflation, based on a 2.5% construction index rate.
