Title of Item:
RESOLUTION No. 93-2018; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE 2018 WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT (WRDA) (S. 3021); PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Summary Explanation/Background Information on Agenda Request:
On September 10, the City Commission passed a Motion to have staff draft a Resolution supporting America’s Water Infrastructure Act, also referred as the 2018 Water Resources Development Act (WRDA). The Commission supports this Federal Legislation because communities in South Florida are under siege by massive algae blooms spreading from Lake Okeechobee into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Rivers. The Senate bill includes an important project, the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) Storage Reservoir, which would help to mitigate future environmental and human health impacts of lake discharges.
