RESOLUTION 30-21, A RESOLUTION INCREASING THE FISCAL YEAR 2020-2021 STORMWATER
FUND BUDGET BY INCREASING REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES IN THE AMOUNT OF
$30,000.00 TO RECOGNIZE A GRANT FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES
In May 2021 the Village Council approved a grant agreement with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) for a Nonpoint Source Grant, also known as a 319(h) grant, receiving
$30,000 to fund the installation of approximately 550 feet of bioswale within the Village. Bioswales are
a type of low impact stormwater improvement that reduces the quantity of water discharged into our
sensitive local waterways as well as the reduces excess nutrients in the stormwater from sources such
as over fertilization.
The Agreement has now been fully executed by the Village and FDEP. As a result, a corresponding
resolution is required to recognize the addition of the $30,000 in grant funding to the Fiscal Year 2021
Stormwater Enterprise Fund budget.
