REQUEST:
The City Manager requests that the City Commission make an Appointment to
serve as a liaison to the St. Johns River Water Management District.
PURPOSE:
The St. Johns River Water Management District has requested that a Member of
the City Commission of the City of Winter Springs, be appointed to serve in the
role as a liaison with the St. Johns River Water Management District.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Correspondence from the St. Johns River Water Management District has been
sent to the City requesting that a Member of the City Commission of the City of
Winter Springs be appointed to serve as a liaison to the St. Johns River Water
Management District.
Since receiving the attached letter, we have been trying to bring this up under the
"Reports" section of previous City Commission Meetings, however, due to the
lengthy Agendas that we have had over the last few months, and the fact that we
have not gotten to the "Reports" section of the Meeting, we have not been able to
follow through with this. Therefore, we are bringing it to you at this time, for
your consideration and possible action.

Enclosed please find a copy of the letter that I sent to Mayor Paul Partyka, dated March 9, 2001.
The letter requests that an elected official be designated to act as a liaison to the St. Johns River
Water Management District. I have not received a response to date and I am asking your
assistance in obtaining a reply. We are making a list of all of the local government liaisons, and
I would like to add your city's representative to the list.
The local government liaison would act as a point person for any inquiries that the City
Commission may have of the SJRWMD and any issues that the SJRWMD may wish to discuss
with the Commission. It is not anticipated that any additional time would be spent attending
meetings. The liaison will receive a copy of the WMD's Local Government Monthly Mailer and
other water resource information.
Thank you for your help with this request. If you or the Mayor have any questions, please call
me at 407-897-4346.
Sincerely, .

Dear ~ayor Partyka:
With the goal of better serving local governments, the St. Johns River Water
Management District is requesting your assistance in designating an elected official on
your Board to act as a liaison to our District.
My responsibilities as an Intergovernmental Coordinator include working with local
elected officials, staff, and the legislative delegation to facilitate management of water
resources. By having one designated official from each government, we hope to build
stronger and more effective relationships.
I look forward to hearing from you and working with your liaison on water resource
issues. If you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance, please call me at
407-897-4346.
