TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of the North Port Commission
FROM: A. Jerome Fletcher II, ICMA-CM, MPA, City Manager
TITLE: Approve and Execute the Statements of Support for Legislative Funding of the Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority Surface Water Expansion Project and Transmission System Expansion Project.
Recommended Action
Approve and execute the statements of support for legislative funding of the Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority Surface Water Expansion Project and Transmission System Expansion Project.
Background Information
The Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority (PRMRWSA) held their bi-monthly Board Meeting on October 2, 2024. During this meeting, the Board approved their submittal of two regional water projects for funding through the local funding initiatives in the House and Senate during this legislative session. In addition to approving the submittals, the Board requested that Authority members and customers provide a letter of support for each of these projects. Any state funding received for these projects would reduce the local cost share for the members and customers participating in the projects.
The PRMRWSA has requested that the statement of support letters be executed and returned to them so they can be prepared to submit their applications when the legislative session opens back up.
Strategic Plan
Good Governance
Financial Impact
Both projects that PRMRWSA are requesting statements of support, currently do not have a financial impact on the City of North Port.
