Item 1

Ponte Vedra Municipal Service District Update. The Chair of the Ponte Vedra
Municipal Service District (MSD) will give a brief update on the District, including
their audit results and Fiscal Year 2017 tentative budget.

Item 2

Crop Alternative Program (CAP). St. Johns County is working to meet its Lower St.
Johns River (LSJR) Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) nutrient reduction
obligations through creative projects that provide benefits to the region and
stakeholders. The County is developing a unique pollutant source control approach
– the Crop Alternative Program (CAP) – that will also provide water supply and other
environmental benefits. The primary CAP goal is to lower nutrient loading to the
Lower St. Johns River Basin (LSJR) while reducing consumptive water use and
providing environmental benefits such as creating wildlife habitat, increasing green
space, and providing recreational opportunities. The Public Works Department will
provide an overview of the Crop Alternative Program. The St. Johns River Water
Management District has approved the CAP program as part of their innovative costshare
funding program for fiscal year 2015-16. This cost share opportunity is
designed to fund the construction of projects or innovative pilot projects that benefit
the District core missions. This agreement allows the county to share the cost of
converting agriculture land to silviculture, up to a total cost of $348,860.00, in
accordance with attached Scope of Work. This agreement will begin on its executed
date.

Item 3

A presentation on the Northeast Florida Regional Transportation Commission
(RTC)'s current status and progress. Mr. Joe Stephenson, RTC Executive Director,
will provide a comprehensive report on the progress and work of the RTC. The 2010
Florida Legislature recognized the need for a more robust and interconnected
multimodal regional transportation system to enhance economic competitiveness by
improving the mobility of people and freight within the northeast region, and
therefore created the Northeast Florida Regional Transportation Study Commission
in 2012. This Commission worked for two years to produce their reports to the
Florida Legislature. In 2013 the Florida Legislature chose to follow the
recommendations of the Northeast Florida Regional Transportation Study
Commission when it adopted legislation creating Chapter 343 Part I, Florida
Statutes, which in turn created the Northeast Florida Regional Transportation
Commission. Section 343.1004 (1) of this Statute establishes the Commission’s
public purposes: “The express purposes of the commission are to improve mobility
and expand multimodal transportation options for persons and freight throughout
the six-county North Florida Region.”
