Stonecrop drainage project underway; city says total cost $2.8 million, 75% FEMA funded
Summary
A resident praised the ongoing Stonecrop drainage work to prevent flooding on Sebastian’s west side; city staff confirmed the project cost at $2.8 million with approximately 75% funded by FEMA.
During public input at the April 9 council meeting, resident Bob Bruner praised the Stonecrop drainage project and asked about its cost and schedule. City staff responded that the total project cost is $2,800,000 and that FEMA is funding about 75% of the project.
“It's really needed,” Bruner told the council, describing the drainage as a major ditch on the city’s west side and urging residents to inspect the work. City staff answered that FEMA’s share is approximately $2,100,000 and confirmed the total cost figure for the audience.
Council member follow‑up was limited to an offer to provide Bruner the exact accounting details by having staff (Karen Miller) supply an exact bottom‑line figure afterward. No formal council action was required at the meeting; staff characterized the work as well underway and a necessary step to reduce erosion and flood risk in the neighborhood.
