River Ridge board approves $3,500 widening of E3 basin control structure
Summary
The board unanimously approved MRI Construction Proposal #606 to widen the E3 basin control-structure weir to maximize outflow; the district engineer will provide before-and-after photos and investigate a manual gate option.
The River Ridge Community Development District board voted unanimously March 24 to approve MRI Construction Proposal #606 to widen the opening on the E3 basin control structure, a $3,500 project intended to increase stormwater outflow.
District Engineer Charlie Krebs explained the work entails using a concrete saw to widen the weir to the maximum allowable width at the Florida Power & Light easement and discussed whether a manual open/close gate could also be installed. The motion to approve the proposal passed on a motion by Supervisor Kurt Blumenthal and seconded by Chair Bob Schultz. "On MOTION by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Schultz, with all in favor, MRI Construction Proposal #606 to widen the opening on the E3 Basin Control Structure, in the amount of $3,500, was approved," the minutes record.
Krebs said he will provide before-and-after photographs and share project specifications with the board. The discussion also covered the control structure’s location relative to the FPL easement and operational goals to get more water out of the community. There was no substantive debate recorded about alternate funding or a postponement; the board approved the work and directed staff to follow up on gate feasibility.
