Additionally the workshop should focus on known problems with the goal of identifying plans and methods that may be considered in future applications. Matters associated with correcting significant problems within Sebastian are not necessarily complex, but are extremely costly, and to that end become complex because of the fiscal impact. The importance of the public's role in participating within the decision making process for drainage cannot be understated. 1.
