AFTER-ACTION: Fred Beckmann introduced the item and explained the Stormwater
Master Plan. He discussed the FOOT project for Alton Road, which will install major pump
systems at 5th Street, 1oth Street, and 141h Street, which may be installed by the end of 2013.
Commissioner Libbin asked questions about the nature of the flooding and where the pumps
will empty out to. The water will outfall to the Bay. The projects will include check valves
and backflow preventers. He also discussed some of the planning issues involved. The
stormwater master plan does not account for storm surge. Members of the public spoke,
including Morris Sunshine, Christine Florez, and Dan Kipnis.
The Committee supported item #2 of Morris Sunshine's/,.5\'!;lj)mitted proposal, which would
require the City Manager to issue an annual report to ~s:City Commission describing the
City's current efforts and future plans, perhaps iq:l. · eration with other agencies, to
mitigate the local effects of rising seas and extre .. ' . . ·,.events. The City Manager is to
ensure that the Building Official reviews th~. ' ding ·J?.Qe to determine if it needs
strengthening and if so, how to pr · · .. d to cHaJ~.~ the Florida Building
Code, if that is necessary to change loc", . tices. The Crtf~\(!A~nager is to ensure the
Planning Director reviews FEMA's flood;r::.. s and other data t(j;{0~.~tter shape its zoning
regulations. '':¥._,; . ':·.\:~~·;c ..
