Staff: $1.2 million study to map drainage; stormwater fixes may cost tens of millions
Summary
City staff said the city has commissioned a $1.2 million drainage-mapping and stormwater master plan to identify capital projects; members estimated that fixing Florida Shores could cost "50 to $100 million."
City staff told the board the city is funding a drainage-mapping and stormwater master plan, estimated at $1,200,000, to catalog drains and identify capital projects. "That's what the $1,200,000 study is for us," Ryan said, explaining the mapping and the planned capital improvements program it would produce.
Board members repeatedly warned that retrofitting Florida Shores would be costly. One member summarized shared estimates: "There's a cost associated estimated at 50 to $100,000,000." Staff and members discussed options to create revenue (raise the stormwater fee or adopt a stormwater impact fee) and the constraints on using other restricted impact-fee pots for stormwater work.
