Summary Explanation and Background:
Since 2011 the Municipalities have partnered with the County to fulfill their requirements for Stormwater Education and Outreach under the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) permit. This regionalization creates synergistic partnerships between participating governments.
The current Stormwater Education and Outreach Interlocal Agreement (CM # 3450) with the Municipalities was originally entered into by the Board of County Commissioners on November 1, 2011 and was amended in 2012 and 2017.
The Interlocal Agreement (ILA) allows the County to coordinate Stormwater Education and Outreach efforts with the participating Municipalities as part of their Stormwater Program. Partnering on education, outreach and marketing provides consistency across jurisdictions and supports a more robust communication strategy. The annual cost of the Stormwater Education program is paid in full by the County. The Municipalities agree to reimburse the County on an annual basis. The Amendment to Section 5.a. of the ILA, includes a change in the calculation of the partners fee. The partners will be charged at a rate of $173 per outreach Deliverable Point as shown in Exhibit A. The addendum also includes yearly fee increases based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Municipal partners will contribute $64,356 annually to fund the program. Brevard County‘s cost share was increased from $42,050 to $50,170 per year.
Further, Section 6 will change from quarterly billing to annual.
The Natural Resources Management Department, kindly requests the approval of the Third Amendment to the Stormwater Education and Outreach Interlocal Agreement.
