BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: March 5, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: James D. Curry
SUBJECT: RESTORE Act Committee Resolution Revision
DEPARTMENT: County Administrator
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Approval of a revised draft Resolution related to formation of an
advisory committee to oversee execution of RESTORE Act provisions.
BACKGROUND: In response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that took place in the summer
of 2010, the United States Congress has enacted the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability,
Tourist Opportunities and Revised Economies Act of 2012 (RESTORE). Each
disproportionately affected county in Florida will be receiving funds from fines and settlements
that will be collected by the federal government.
The Board will establish a plan for the use of any and all RESTORE funds and determine the
composition of an advisory council to the Board on use of those funds. The Board continued
discussion on a draft resolution at the BCC meeting held February 19, 2013. The Board reached
consensus on several changes to the draft resolution, resulting in a revision. Attached is the
revised draft resolution memorializing this committee.
The Board had considerable discussion at the last meeting on the resolution’s conflict of interest
provision and requested a summary of this provision as represented in the other
disproportionately impacted counties be provided. That summary is attached for review.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Provide direction and consider approval of a revised draft
Resolution.

James D. Curry, County Administrator
