District Attorney
DA 1 - Status Report/Updates

Mr. Harrell advised that the City of Port St. Lucie was reviewing stormwater interlocal agreements and a preliminary report indicates that the City is looking to reduce the stormwater rebate from 75% to within the 25% to 40% range, which is very significant. The District will join with other local districts in securing consultants to analyze budgets regarding stormwater matters.

Mr. Harrell noted that the District supplements what the City gives back to the District in order to maintain stormwater projects. Mr. Harrell indicated that a proposal will be provided to determine if the District will proceed. The first company asked to provide a proposal is Raftelis, the company who provides annual reports and projections for the stormwater system of the District. Once approved, the costs associated with the analysis will be spread across 4 different districts.

Discussion ensued about budget structuring differences between the City and the District.

Mr. Harrell then advised of his intention of stepping away from his practice in the spring. He will offer a continuation of his services through another firm, where he will be in the background. That firm's name is Torcivia, Donlon, Goddeau & Ansay, P.A., specifically Glen Torcivia, with whom Mr. Harrell has been familiar for years.
