Lewis, Tod Mowery, Kim Johnson ABSENT: Chris Dzadovsky V. PRESENTATIONS There are no items scheduled. VI. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT Paul Shaw, Saint Lucie County resident, addressed the Commissioners about the flooding that has occurred due to the recent storms. Mr. Shaw wanted to address Commissioner Dzadovsky specifically because he spoke about this issue in the News. Colony Court had to evacuate because of the flooding and Mr. Shaw is familiar with the area because he owns a warehouse there. He advocated that the storm water draining is working as it should. He said that hurricanes are not the source of severe flooding, and that rain storms are the main cause of flooding. Mr. Shaw brought up the 100 years storm theory and said that it is not accurate because storms cause flooding in Saint Lucie County about every four years. Mr. Shaw said that flooding can occur at any time and presented pictures to the Commissioners. The pictures included some images of flooding and drainage failure. He stated that the system is overloaded and that adjustments should be made to the pipes and canals. Mr. Shaw mentioned that Saint Lucie West use to have a severe flooding problem due to drainage ponds and levies not functioning properly but adjustments were made to fix issue. He asked the Commissioners to look at the frequency and intensity of flood water releases and asked the Commissioners to better manage the flood gates and to come up with an alternative for flood issues. Commissioner Hutchinson replied and mentioned that attention has been given to the area that Mr. Shaw mentioned. She also mentioned that there are water management parties that control and contribute to solving flooding problems. Richard Sylvesteri, 5708 Buchanan Drive, Fort Pierce, FL, spoke to the Commissioners about the 100 year flood theory. He mentioned that he remembers a flood in 1979 that overflowed the canals which caused the city to shut down. He also mentioned that South Florida is receiving 2 1 P a g e BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 21, 2014 9:00 AM these types of floods every 3 to 4 years. He also mentioned that he went to a seminar about the rising seas. Mr. Sylvesteri then continued to mention the efforts of other South Florida cities who are dealing with flooding issues. He cited a PBS special that presented the rising sea theory. Mr. Sylvesteri that he is not an expert, but knows that the flooding is a sever issue because the seas are not as low as they use to be which does not allow proper drainage. He also mentioned that he contributed to storm water drainage efforts at Herman Bay. VI I.
