Body

SUMMARY: 

This interlocal agreement covers the surface water quality monitoring and biological monitoring program administered by Pinellas County. This agreement was originally signed by the City Engineer in 2013, but similar agreements for monitoring have been in place since 2002. The monitoring program is a requirement of the stormwater permit issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

 

The City is responsible for 12.05% of the total costs, which is based on acreage.

 

The amendment to the agreement is a time extension only and is in effect until 2020.
