Engineer Report:
Joe was hoping to have some sediment chemistry results for us, took a week longer. In-field work should be wrapping up this week, so far no surprises about what they’re seeing; seeing more sand that what Joe thought. Wouldn’t be surprised if 20-30% will be good sand. Once sediment test results are received and approved we are then open to attend meetings/boards; the City’s waterway council (Lori Boyer is on the board); Core (Corp) of Engineers (Fishweir).
The City could be our 3rd dredge, if they will allocate funds to our project.
We should have the project scope (total cost) by the end of August 2018
Tamara: In the newspaper it was reported the Department adopted 2 separate plans to bring the Water Shed tributaries back to health. In 2009 Miller Creek was named the #2 tributary to be dredged. In 2002 MC was on the dredging list. However funds were appropriated for the Super Bowl and nothing after.
It was suggested that we create a list of the City Positions/Boards to consider reaching out to:
- JAX waterways commission
- EPB – Environment Protection Board
- BMAP – Basin Management Action Plans – storm waters
- FIND – Florida Inland Navigation District
- USACE – Army Core of Engineers
- Johns Water Management District
- FDEP – Florida Department Environment Protection
- John’s River keepers
- City of JAX
- JEA
- Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration
Further suggestion that someone become the owner/expert for each City Position/Board. We will sit on this and await the August test results, then research who has funds and who does not. For the Fishweir project: 35% City of JAX, 65% Core of Engineers = homeowners 0/ZERO.
NEW BUSINESS:
Savemillerscreek.org – we need to tag this to Mayfair and St. Nicholas websites
We (MCSD) doesn’t have the signed agreement for the church. Wayne Flowers never got it back to us. Sharon needs to sign, give to Scott/Joe.
Sharon has an invoice from Rene Pulido – for bills paid by his assistant out of Emed. Have Renee’s assistant provide a list of how much paid to Louis Longman, and we determine how much we’ve paid from MCSD.
Received bill for $3,333.67 to pay Joe – Tamara moved to approve payment; Scott seconded. (Name has changed to Wood Environmental & Infrastructure Solutions. Approved by unanimous vote.
