FL 32708 Dear Commissioner Gennell: Thank you for the opportunity to speak to the Seminole Council of Local Governments in Seminole County about the St. Johns River Water Management District. One of our priorities is to inform local government officials about our programs and activities at the District. At the meeting there were two questions raised which I promised to research. The first was about the District's millage rate and our millage cap. Our current millage is .482 of a mill. Our constitutional cap. approved by the voters of the state. is 1 mill. The legislative cap placed on the SJRWMD is .6 of a mill. The second question was about wetland mitigation banks. There are currently four banks approved in our district; two DOT banks and two private banks. The DOT banks are in V olusia County and Orange County. The private banks are located in Duval County and Lake County. The District is now reviewing three more mitigation banks. one of which is in Seminole County. The approval request is expected to go before the Governing Board in May. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you with regard to water resources. My telephone number is 897-4346. Sincerely, ~~ ~stmaJ1, Intergovernmental Coordinator Division of Policy and Planning c: Commissioner Pat Fernandez. City of Altamonte Springs Commissioner Ron Sargent.
