                        1.         Staff recommends a motion to approve: Agreement with the Westgate/Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in an amount not-to-exceed $500,000 for flood mitigation.  SUMMARY:  On February 3, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners approved the allocation of $500,000 to assist the CRA with the implementation of a flood mitigation plan. The plan was designed through the Stub Canal Task Force in collaboration with the Airport, the City of West Palm Beach, and the Towns of Cloud Lake, Glenn Ridge and Haverhill to mitigate flooding and improve water quality for the entire C-51 Basin. The CRA has been working on several major projects related to this plan with a cost of over $20 Million, which entail drainage, water quality improvement, flood mitigation, sanitary sewer and roadway improvements. The CRA executed a conceptual agreement with the County which provides for the reimbursement of $500,000 for the various projects which mitigate flooding in the community. These funds will provide the required matching fund to implement three (3) specific projects, including:  the L-2 canal expansion, the L-2 canal property acquisition, and L-2 pump station. Remaining funding is in place with the allocation of $725,000 from the CRA, $5,775,000 from FEMA, and $700,000 from a Palm Beach County Loan. If funding is not approved in a timely manner the CRA may forfeit federal funds in the amount of $5,775,000.   District 2 (GB)
