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
