The attached electronic mail message compiled and delivered by City Engineer David Fisher, as well as the memorandum from Doug Moulton, Camp, Dresser McKee provides a synopsis of a meeting that took place last week with SJRWMD officials. SJRWMD appears to be supportive of a City of Sebastian canal dredging program and is therefore willing to meet with city officials very soon to further discuss the matter, including the prospect of incorporating a funding allocation via the agency's Fiscal Year 2003/2004 budget process. This arrangement would essentially represent the first stage for establishing partnership with SJRWMD to fund overall improvements to the Collier Creek Waterway north of Sebastian Boulevard/County Road 512. Such cooperation supports the notion of proceeding with a written policy governing seawall repair responsibility - financial and otherwise. Specific recommendations for authorization to proceed with formal funding requests, as well as a general update regarding overall progress pertaining to this matter will be offered during your May 28th meeting. Department of Justice Police Universal Hiring Pro.qram Some of you may recall authorization having been granted last year to submit a grant proposal to the United States Department of Justice Universal Hiring Program (UHP) to seek financial assistance to help the City of Sebastian employ additional police officers in the community. I learned several days ago that a grant award to fund one additional police officer position is actually pending (as referenced in the attached spreadsheet from City Council Information Letter May 9, 2003 Page 2 the UHP office), with an award announcement anticipated to be issued sometime in August or September. As a result of this available opportunity, recommendations to sponsor an additional police officer position will be offered via the Fiscal Year 2003/2004 Proposed Budget. Revised Waste Management Collection Services Guide Per concerns raised during your last meeting relative to the Waste Management Service Guide anticipated to be delivered to Sebastian residents next week, staff was able to speak with respective company officials to direct revisions to the document accordingly. Additional information includes instructions relative to placement of trash bags and dilapidated furniture in front of homes in lieu of garbage cans (Garbage bags are only unacceptable when discarding yard waste. Governmental Affairs Director George Geletko informed my office that plastic bags are fine for other forms of solid waste disposal). In addition, specific clarification regarding holiday scheduling is included - service will not be available on Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. The attached copy of this service guide is anticipated to begin circulation on May 15th. Until then, my office will be more than happy to entertain other relevant ideas and/or recommendations that you may have for possible inclusion. As far as the ability to recommend a final franchise agreement, City Attorney Rich Stringer informed me earlier this week that more time is necessary to compile a "solid" document. As such, it is now anticipated that a final contract is to be presented during your June 11th meeting - still well in advance of the July 1 st franchise start date. Minor Modifications to United States Highway One As reported several weeks ago, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) recently directed additional minor infrastructure modifications to be implemented on United States Highway One (US 1) and Sebastian Boulevard/County Road 512 (CR 512). The attached letter as compiled and delivered by Mr. Jonathan Overton, FDOT Assistant Traffic Operations Engineer succinctly outlines the program, to include construction of an exclusive southbound right turn lane. Also, plans include a relocation of the west curb and gutter of an adjacent median two feet to the east to accommodate the right turn lane. Any disturbed landscaping and irrigation will be replaced. The project will conclude with an installation of a triangular concrete island in the west leg. This aspect of the modification is necessary City Council Information Letter May 9, 2003 Page 3 to help facilitate better vehicular movement in making a westbound turn. FDOT has commissioned Ranger Construction to implement respective tasks. Work will begin in the coming days and is anticipated to be completed circa June 9th. Florida City/County Management Association Conference As I will be representing the City of Sebastian at this year's Florida City/County Management Association Conference in Daytona Beach, please be advised that I will be out of the office Thursday, May 15th and Friday, May 16th. I will return to Sebastian Saturday evening May 17th. As such, no information letter will be delivered next week. Executive Assistant Jean Tarbell will have my information regarding conference venue and accommodations. Of course, any of you may feel free to contact me via cellular telephone should the need arise to speak with me personally during this time. Enclosure(s): Electronic Mail Message from David Fisher/Memorandum from Doug Moulton, CDM - Partnerships with SJRWMD Spreadsheet from United States Department of Justice - Universal Hiring Program Draft - Waste Management Collection Services Guide - Revised Letter from Jonathan Overton, FDOT - Minor Modifications to US 1 in Sebastian My Documents/InfoLetter175 Terrance Moore From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: David Fisher Tuesday, April 29, 2003 4:14 PM Terrance Moore; Mark Mason; Terry Hill; Rich Stringer Ken Jones; Paul Wagner General Outcome of Meeting with SJRWMD Today Further to recent discussion regarding the importance we have attached to the meeting with SJRWMD scheduled for today in Palm Bay, the following is a very general summary of the outcome: The general outcome of the meeting for the City of Sebastian can only be considered excellent. We projected a very positive approach and they responded in kind. D. Fisher and K. Jones attended for the City; CDM had Mike Schmitt, Brian Mack, Eric Grotke, and Doug Moulton; SJRWMD had Whit Green, Fariborz Zanganeh, and Troy Price. We met for approximately two hours. · There are no difficult permitting issues anticipated regarding the implementation of our drafted MSWMP (Master Stormwater Management Plan). SJRWMD will be supportive of our canal dredging plan and is willing to meet with us very soon (next week) to discuss the matter, including putting a request for funding assistance in their own budget for the coming fiscal year. (Their fiscal year begins on 1 October and they are currently in the midst of their own budget process.) We are now moving forward to do a soil sample survey in the Collier Creek Canal. The boundary survey can wait until the debate on the ordinance takes form and further policy decisions are made. There may be some modification to the standards for seawall installation as currently outlined in the Cape Coral ordinance. We are going forward with CDM in quantifying benefits to the MSWMP from the canal dredging that can also benefit the City's SWU by reducing the volume and cost of other retention / detention facility improvements otherwise called for in the Plan. · We concluded there is no great benefit in the City acquiring wetlands for "wetland banking" purposes. Therefore recommend we remove that item from any further budget discussions. We discussed the elements of a public education program regarding stormwater and related matters. This is important to SJRWMD as a good "non-structural BMP". A good attitude, data, and a proactive approach will serve us well in our dealings with SJRWMD. We have asked Eric Grotke of CDM to be here on Friday this week, 2 May 03, to meet with us for the purpose of further briefing and discussion with the City Manager. Think it would be good to have other key members of the management team there as well. The calendar scheduling exercise will be coming to you shortly. If you have further questions, please respond by return email. CDM is writing up the official minutes of the meeting. -- Dave Fisher Memorandum From: Date: Subject: Attendees Doug Moulton, CDM 05/07/03 Meeting Minutes - City of Sebastian/SJRWMD - Palm Bay Service Center Attendees: David Fisher - City of Sebastian Kenneth Jones - City of Sebastian Whit Green - SJRWMD Fariborz Zanganeh - SJRWMD Troy Rice - SJRWMD Mike Schmidt - CDM Brian Mack - CDM Eric Grotke - CDM Doug Moulton - CDM This meeting was to discuss three topics: 1) SJRWMD comments on the City of Sebastian Stormwater Master Plan, 2) Treatment requirements for replacement of swales with curbs and 3) Conversion of primary canals into wet detention facilities. It is noted that these topics were allied and there was significant cross over from one topic to another during the meeting. D:\Projects\20582\33054\Third_Addendum\minute_04-29-03.doc Meeting Minutes April 29, 2003 Page 2 Initially, introductions were made around the table and a brief overview of the topics to be covered was given. Meeting agenda and responses to District's comments to Master Plan were distributed. Master Plan Comments: Doug Moulton read through the comments and responses to the Master Plan (see attached). There was some discussion at comment/response 2 - the SJRWMD has set a pollutant load reduction goal (PLRG) to reduce flows (color), TSS and nutrients by 65 percent. Whit Green stated that this was an ideal target and would facilitate compliance when TMDLs are in place. It was further stated that the 65 percent reduction would bring loading to historical levels. Additionally, there was a comment that if the primary canals are "converted" to a wet detention system, the reduction goal may be closer as well. Whit Green asked for clarification concerning the modeling of Adam's Parcel. Doug Moulton stated that it was modeled in the future conditions WMM only. With regards to converting swales to curbs, Whit Green stated that in addition to the loss of treatment associated with the swales another concern was the increase in the freshwater load to Indian River Lagoon. It was stated that largely the problem was one of "optical pollution". There is a coloring of water associated with a number of parameters, TSS and Chlorophyll a for example. The discharging of this colored water tends to reduce the light penetration in the Lagoon and negatively impacts sea grass. It was stated that Margie Lasi, of SJRWMD, is going to be conducting a study of the effects of color on the Lagoon. The use of existing borrow pits as detention ponds was spoken about. It was mentioned that a developer had approached SJRWMD staff with the proposal that an existing borrow pit could be used as a wet detention pond for a proposed development around its perimeter. The SJRWMD didn't feel this was appropriate. Fariborz Zanganeh offered the reason that the depth of the borrow pits was excessive, and it was likely that stratification and a reduction in removal efficiency would be observed. It was stated that if these borrow pits were to be used as retrofit for an existing development the SJRWMD would be more amenable to their being used, with appropriate modifications i.e. fountains or some method to ensure that there is sufficient mixing and aeration to reduce the likelihood of stratification. To be used as the treatment for a newly proposed development, it would be necessary to follow the SJRWMD rule i.e. mean depth (pond volume divided by surface area at control volume) between 2 and 8 feet with a maximum depth of 12 feet. It was also mentioned that the borrow pits were isolated from any existing outfall. There was some discussion concerning the runoff coefficient that Whit Green had calculated for the Elkcam basin (3540 acres). This basin is largely medium density residential (single family). The value determined was 0.143 (annual average) this value was contrasted with the value determined by Harvey Harper in his 1994 study (Stormwater Loading Rate Parameters Document code Meeting Minutes April 29, 2003 Page 3 for Central and South Florida) 0.373. Whit Green stated that he had taken baseflow into account. Whit had made the case, based upon this runoff coefficient, that there was significant infiltration within this basin. The implication being that the swale system was largely responsible for this infiltration. CDM will review runoff coefficient calculations. It was noted that approximately 90 percent of the City is being served by septic tanks systems. The effect of septic systems on the quantity and quality of the runoff was noted. A question was posed if the District has any mechanisms to fund any sort of migration to a regional wastewater treatment plant. There are no mechanisms. Swale to Curb Conversion: It was stated that there was approximately 300 miles of swale within the City. Primarily the soils within the City are in the hydrologic soil group B/D. Much of these soils drain poorly and cause public health issues with flooding and standing water. Any swales that are located in A or B soils and appear to be infiltrating should remain. It is estimated that approximately 60 percent (or 180 miles) of the existing swales could be candidates for replacement. The swales to be replaced should be non-functional typically in B/D soils. Discussion of the level of compensating storage and treatment was considered. Overall it was felt that a "balance sheet" of storage gained (BMP construction/ditch conversion) vs. storage lost (swale replacement) be maintained. Fariborz Zanganeh indicated that a larger basin/Citywide accounting, as opposed to a particular project area, would be preferred. Whit Green indicated that ff the primary canals were going to be used as compensating treatment it would be necessary to provide more treatment volume than merely matching the swale volume if SJRWMD funds were obtained for the conversion of primary canal conversion to wet detention facilities (dredging). In addition to conversion of canals to wet detention, recharge was mentioned as a means to provide additional storage, Mike Schmidt mentioned that it might be possible to include recharge wells and noted that this was done in Boynton Beach. This area had some concerns with saltwater intrusion and this fact allowed for the recharge well to be permitted by FDEP. It was noted that obtaining a recharge well permit may prove to be quite challenging. Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) may also be considered, however, it was noted that the runoff must be treated to drinking water standards if the injection well discharges into underground source of drinking water (USDW). This could prove to be cost prohibitive. Reuse was mentioned as a viable alternative to be considered to account for some of the lost storage. As opposed to a regional reuse facility a question was posed concerning the number of irrigation pumps that use the primary canals as a source. This use of runoff could provide additional storage that could be applied to the balance sheet. Ken Jones pointed out that typically when the canals are full and in need of volume reduction, i.e. in the wet season, Document code Meeting Minutes April 29, 2003 Page 4 there is little need for landscape irrigation. SJRWMD acknowledged that this may not be beneficial. The use of underdrains was discussed as an alternative to swale replacement. This was initially greeted with some enthusiasm, however it was noted that underdrains typically have a rather short life without significant maintenance. Whit Green noted a variation of underdrains, that is a sewer pipe with ditch bottom inlets. It is noted that a similar configuration (Rural-Section see Figure 3-4 in Master Plan) was investigated in the Master Plan. Conversion of Drainage Canals -to Wet Detention: Dave Fisher discussed the condition of the seawalls lining the main canals and the various alternatives for replacing the damaged seawalls. The City could obtain control of the seawalls and replace them or the City could pass an ordinance that would require the residents to replace the seawalls as needed. Overall it was felt that having the City assuming responsibility for the seawalls would result in a more consistent seawall as well as provide the opportunity to dredge the canals in one overall operation. The water quality benefit of dredging the primary canals was discussed. Doug Moulton noted that the existing retention time for Collier Canal north of CR512 is approximately 12 days and the various proposed dredged cross sections could increase the minimum retention time to 23 days. Fariborz Zanganeh indicated that the conversion of the canal system to wet detention system should be permitable provided that no significant wetland impacts were observed or existing flood stages increased. It was stated that there were similar projects in Palm Bay ("Emerson Drive" - modification of a two lane road to a four lane - the existing roadside conveyance system was converted to wet detention system.). There are two main concerns for such a project: 1) that existing flood stages are not increased, and 2) that possible adjacent wetlands are not impacted. Additionally, Fariborz Zanganeh also stated that there should be adequate right of way and maintenance access. Fariborz Zanganeh stated that it would be required to modify the existing structure to provide a means to pass the base flow and to bleed down the live pool volume. It was stated that the City was going to sample and characterize the sediments in the portion of Collier Canal currently being considered for dredging. It was suggested that the organic and metal content of the sediments should be quantified. Document code Meeting Minutes April 29, 2003 Page 5 Miscellaneous Comments: Color Subsequent to the comment that the color of the runoff is the key problem, Mike Schmidt speculated that a "color BMP" might be considered (e.g. chemical treatment for color at canal ouffatls or in the canals might be considered). Funding It was stated that there were two funding sources available to possibly fund the canal dredging: 1) funding from the SJRWMD directly and 2) the Indian River Lagoon license plate fund. The following paragraph gives some indication of the requirements for requesting District funds. It was noted that not much information was given concerning the license plate funds. This will require further investigation. It was noted that there is not SJRWMD money available for the current year, however the next years budget is being developed and will be voted on by the SJRWMD's governing board in June. In order to apply for funding from the SJRWMD, a proposal should be sent to Troy Rice. The proposal should include a description of the overall project, for example all the canals, not just the canal currently under consideration. The proposal should also discuss the potential benefit the project will provide. There is a requirement that the City will need to match grant funds, this matching can be provided by either money or value added. It was thought that the City's replacement of the seawalls and the providing of a disposal site for the dredged material would be sufficient. The proposal must state, specifically, how much money is being requested. As the SJRWMD's board votes on the upcoming year's budget in June, it would be advantageous to submit the proposal as soon as possible. Mention should be made that the improvements are considered a phase of the Master Plan Improvements. Field Visit Dave Fisher invited SJRWMD staff to a field investigation of the Collier Canal. It is proposed that this take place within the next two weeks. Potential Wetland Purchase Dave Fisher stated that there was the possibility of purchasing a wetland area north of the City Hall. He wondered if there would be any utility in obtaining this land in order to have wetlands with mitigation bank potential for any projects within the City. The benefit of purchasing this land is somewhat difficult to quantify. It was felt if there were significant wetland impacts in any of the project areas, that it might be reasonable to purchase the land. However, it was also noted that there are several other issues at play including the condition of the purchased wetlands - preserving wetlands is not nearly as favorable as restoring wetlands, often the mitigation requirement is 4 to 10 times the impacted area - thus there may not be sufficient wetlands. It was stated that if the land could be purchased and serve a dual Document code Meeting Minutes April 29, 2003 Page 6 purpose, recreational and possible wetland mitigation, that this might be a safer option. It was stated that Todd Gipe, of SJRWMD, would be the person to discuss the potential purchase of such areas. Riverfront Area Ken Jones mentioned that the City was considering retrofitting portions of the Riverfront area. Typically, there is little in the way of treatment in this area. Various possibilities were considered, including using baffle boxes or alternative end of pipe technologies (CDS units). Whit Green was positive with respect to improvements in this area, but noted that the model domain of the City was more significant with respects to the 65 percent reduction as it drained to the South Prong of the Sebastian River and this was the SJRWMD's greater concern. It was stated that there may be grant money available through FDEP's 319 grant and possibly from the Community Block Development. Non -Structural BMPs Whit Green noted that the description of non-structural BMPs was not fully treated in the Master Plan. He offered a number of suggestions including visiting the Florida Yards and Neighborhood Program web site (http://indian.ifas.ufl.edu/), use of vegetative buffer strips, public education and/or ordinances and street sweeping. It was noted that there might be some benefit to creating a vegetative buffer strip adjacent to canal/back yard ditches that this could result in less broadcasting of fertilizer into canals. The possibility of including some variation of a vegetative strip in the new seawall ordinance was suggested. It was also mentioned that Dan Hayes, of SJRWMD, was the education coordinator of the District and would be available to cooperate with the City in public education issues.

C.Co Debra Krueger terrance Moore Rich Stringer Mark Mason Terry Hill Document code Memorandum From: Date: Subject: Dave Fisher Doug Moulton, P.E. April 25, 2003 City of Sebastian SWMP - District Comments and Responses CDM has reviewed and responded to the comments made by the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) concerning the City of Sebastian Stormwater Management Plan. SJRWMD comments have been paraphrased with their original comments on file. District Comments: · Comment 1: Figure J-2 does not indicate that the Adam's Parcel Stormwater Park and the Stonecrop Stormwater facility were included in the Watershed Management Model (WMM) input files. · Response 1: The Adam's Parcel Stormwater Park was included in the future conditions WMM. Stonecrop was not included. Stonecrop will be incorporated in the modeling. Figure J-2 shows the ponds that were proposed in the analysis. The existing condition BMP is implied and shown in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3 will be updated to include the representation of Stonecrop. · Comment 2: To achieve the 65 percent total suspended solids (TSS) and nutrients reduction goal alternative methodologies should be examined. These could include: baffle boxes, combined sewers (routing stormwater to treatment plants) and annexation of parcels suited for BMP construction but not currently within City limits. Response 2: It is agreed that in order to achieve a 65 percent reduction in mass loading, additional methodologies would need to be examined, however, the focus of this study was on improved flood control and the identification of facilities that could provide both flood control and water quality retrofit (dual purpose facilities). The focus of the water quality investigation was not to identify BMPs needed to achieve a 65 percent reduction in TSS and nutrient mass loading. There was also a conceptual water quality improvement retrofit task, where the aerial photographs were reviewed for areas that could provide opportunities for water quality improvement - these improvements were wet detention ponds. It is noted that this task did include several ponds sited outside D:\Projects\20582\33054\Third_Addendum\Mem_03Apri125,doc Dave Fisher April 25, 2003 Page 2 the southwestern boundary of the City. The quantification of the potential reduction in mass loading was a function of the potential pond sites rather than an overall reduction goal. Comment 3: During dry season conditions, the roadside swales appear to be working quite well at reducing the volume and, therefore, the loading attributable to stormwater runoff. Evidence of this exists in data collected by Environmental Research and Design for the City and District. The runoff coefficient calculated from measured data in the Stonecrop watershed (October 2001 - May 2002) is 0.120. The runoff coefficient calculated from measured data in the Elkcam Dam watershed (June 2001 - June 2002) is 0.143. In the Elkcam Dam watershed, the runoff coefficient increased from a dry season average of 0.097 to a wet season average of 0.198. This shows that the swales are serving to infiltrate runoff into the soils during part of the year. Response 3: The calculated runoff coefficients indicate that there is significant infiltration provided in this basin. However, based the apparent peak in the baseflow, typically 3-4 days past the peak of the rainfall event, one would suspect a significant portion of the runoff is passing through some the surfical aquifer ultimately ending, in the Stonecrop facility. If one considers the baseflow during periods of no rain, it would appear that swales and/or ditches are intercepting the groundwater table. It is assumed that the groundwater table would be notably higher in the wet season resulting in higher base flows. This would also validate, to a certain extent, the complaint of water standing in swales. Comment 4: The WMM residential land use categories do not appear to be consistent with FLUCCS codes. Specifically, land zoned RM-8 would be more appropriately represented as high density and RS-10 would be more appropriately represented as medium density. Response 4: These statements appear to be correct. It is noted that the water quality model was not calibrated to measured data, thus the modeling is a relative reduction rather than absolute. However, as the WMM is being updated to include Stonecrop, the residential areas zoned RM-8 will be updated to the high-density residential EMC value and those areas zoned RS-10 will be updated to the medium density EMC value. Comment 5: Alternative for Problem Area No. 6 - increasing the rate of inflow into the Stonecrop facility may not be allowable from both a water management and water quality perspective. · Response 5: This project would require a modification to an existing District permit. Background work prior to applying for such a permit modification would have to be made. Subsequent to this investigation and in consultation with District staff in a pre- s:\6116\30299\Cor\Mem_O1Jan25.doc Dave Fisher April 25, 2003 Page 3 application meeting the requirements for the success of this effort would be evaluated. Once the specific requirements are determined, a decision will be made regarding the pursuit of this permit modification. It is noted that District staff have also indicated that there are significant wetlands that would be impacted by increasing the runoff into Stonecrop. Comment 6: Master plan states assumption that all future development will receive treatment by wet detention. However, construction of single-family residences not part of some larger development are exempt from providing runoff treatment. Response 6: A review of the aerial photography indicated many undeveloped lots within the established portion of the City. The land use (i.e. EMC value) for these areas for both the existing and future conditions is constant. Similarly, the BMP for these area also remains constant - swales. The new development referred to by this assumption would be locations currently undeveloped. If one compares Figures 4-3 and 4-4 it can be seen that the new areas with wet detention treatment occur in currently undeveloped areas. Comment 7: There is a discrepancy between the total number of acres available for development between the existing and future conditions noted in the text (page 4-13) and Table 4-13. Response 7: The statement on page 4-13 appears to be incorrect. Based upon GIS analysis of existing and future land use, the values reported in the table are accurate. The statement will be corrected in the report. Comment 8: It appears that the inclusion of septic tank impacts results in a decreased DP and TP loading for sub-basins IRL2, IRL3 and S.Prong2. There is also an apparent decrease in flow, DP and TP from the Existing conditions with BMPs compared with the Future conditions with BMPs. Response 8: This is counter intuitive and a spot check of land use change, percent impervious and EMC values indicate that the loading should, as expected, increase between these scenarios. The WMM is currently being updated with the modifications noted earlier (EMC values and Stonecrop facility) during the update the input files will be closely scrutinized for possible causes for this misrepresentation. s:\6116\30299\Cor\Mem_O1Jan25.dec FL Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Department 0 $139,733.00 ACP FL Safety Harbor, City of I $75,000.00 FAST FL Sanford Police Department 4 $396,052.00 CIS FL Sanford Police Department 1.6 $38,356.00 MORE98 FL Sanford Police Department 0 $38,356.00 MRENEWAL FL Sanford Police Department 4 $297,045.00 UHP FL Sarasota, City of 3 $51,308.00 MORE95 FL Royal Palm Beach, Village of 1 $75,000.00 FAST FL Seminole County 6 $150,132.00 MORE98 FL Pembroke Pines, City of 4 $300,000.00 AHEAD FL St. Cloud Police Department 7.2 $180,532.00 MORE98 FL St. Augustine Police Department 4 $300,000.00 UHP FL St. Augustine Police Department I $75,000.00 FAST FL St. Augustine Beach, City of I $67,607.00 UHP FL South Miami Police Department 7 $525,000.00 UHP FL South Miami Police Department 4.5 $112,500.00 MORE98 FL South Miami Police Department 0.8 $19,503.00 MORE00 FL South Daytona, City of 3 $223,486.00 UHP FL South Bay, City of 2 $130,293.00 PHS FL Sneads Police Department I $65,638.00 UHP FL Sneads Police Department 1 $62,833.00 FAST FL Seminole, City of I $75,000.00 FAST FL Sarasota, City of 0 $196,580.00 DV FL Sebring, City of I $104,640.00 CIS FL Sarasota, City of 0 $102,616.00 MRENEWAL FL Satellite Beach Police Department I $75,000.00 FAST FL Satellite Beach Police Department 2.3 $55,185.00 MORE98 FL Sebastian Police Department 1 $98,306.00 CIS FL Sebastian Police Department I $75,000.00 FAST FL Seminole County 27 $2,025,000.00 UHP FL Sebastian Police Department 4 $300,000.00 UHP Office of Community Policing Services Grantee Report 11/21/2002 Florida Page 18 of 33 SEBASTIAN HOME OF PELIC.M~ ISLAND City of Sebastian Service Guide for Garbage and Yard Waste WASTE MANAGEMENT July 2003 CITY 0~ SEBASTIAN HOM[ OF PELICAN ISLAND WASTE MANAGEMENT May 2003 Dear Sebastian Resident, Your city council has selected Waste Management to provide you with optional subscription service for garbage and yard waste collection-- beginning July 1, 2003.
