ITEM C48 on the 9/17 BOCC Meeting is a request for 2 million dollars of funding (additional) to NV5 Design and Consulting.

It is to redesign a portion of RRE.

However, in the document, it says that ACOE has concurred with the decision to build the road.

Not true. The ACOE gave a conditional approval with the proviso that additional study and documentation were needed.

So onward and upward mount the dollars for an ecological disaster.

If you can be there on Tuesday.

In your 3 minutes simply say:

The Army Corp of Engineers has not issued the final approval for the RRE.

The County is spending millions of taxpayer dollars for a road that your citizens do not want, and in the end, you may not get.

The County said this was a 90 million dollar project. Current cost projects have it at $160 million - your documents - and climbing.

For a road that will severely impact an ecological gem in Pasco County - Serenova that the citizens do want.

The County faces being sued.

DO NOT APPROVE THIS BUDGET REQUEST
