DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM: STORMWATER
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Stormwater Division of Public Works provides oversight of the Okaloosa
County stormwater system and applicable regulatory requirements. This includes stormwater system
construction, solutions to infrastructure failures, maintenance tasks, and storm recovery and restoration.
Regualtory requirements include;
• Development and implementation of Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs),
• Collection and management of National Pollutant Discharge Elimiation System (NPDES) data
• Evaluation and reporting of NPDES compliance activities
• Administrative maintenance of the NPDES Permit and Notice of Intent
• Development of future funding needs.
Additionally, stormwater staff provides support services for the Public Works work order system (Cartegraph).
REVENUE: Stormwater Division is funded within the County Transportation Trust Fund. Supporting
revenue of the County Transportation Trust Fund (CTTF) is fuel taxes, intergovernmental revenue, charges for

gas tax (LOGT), constitutional gas taxes (CGT) and federal and state shared revenue, state and federal grants,
and an annual allocation of revenue from the general fund. Total funding for FY14 was $400,000 from all
funding sources. Unexpended funding pledged in previous years has remained in the Stormwater budget as
available cash which has provided funding to support operations and maintenance costs which now totals
$800,000 per year. These funds are depleted to critical levels by ever increasing stormwater needs and
operational costs.

Program provides the public with a safe and cost effective program for the reduction of mosquito populations
and habitat. The proposed FY15 Budget reflects the funding strategy to sustain the program model developed
over the past decade. The jurisdiction to which the MC Program is responsible is the Okaloosa County
Mosquito Control District (District) which includes all of Okaloosa County excluding Federal and State Parks
and Eglin Air Force Base.
REVENUE: The MC Program is funded through the General Fund. Supporting revenue of the General Fund

and the availability of supplemental funds are subject to annual review at the State level. Acceptance of the
grant requires the District Director to prepare monthly financial and chemical inventory reporting. There have
been no indications of what State grant levels will be for FY2015. FY14 State grant funds secured by the
District totaled $30k. Under the current MC Program, State funds are targeted for supplemental chemical
purchases.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Okaloosa County Extension Service develops and delivers research-based
educational programs, workshops, newsletters and publications in the areas of agriculture/small farms, family
and consumer sciences, horticulture, natural resources, marine science, and 4-H/youth development. The
nationwide informal educational network links experts and resources at federal, state and local levels. Local
advisory committees provide guidance and recommendations for programming based on local community
needs.
Programs in Agriculture/Small Farms/Natural Resources focus on agriculture profitability and the sustainable
use of environmental resources for the larger commercial operations as well as those smaller farms with more
limited available resources. Family and Consumer Sciences programming involves food, nutrition, health, food
safety, family finance, community prosperity, and housing. Home and Commercial Horticulture programs
include training of Master Gardeners and development of Best Management Practices for the benefit of the
environment for all county residents. With increased urbanization and growth come increased pressures on our
coastal ecosystems. Balancing population needs while conserving our natural resources is one of the major
goals of Okaloosa County’s Sea Grant and Natural Resources Extension program. 4-H clubs develop youth
leadership, character, and good citizenship. Projects and programs focus on a wide array of youth interests

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST YEAR (Agriculture):
Ø The Extension Agricultural program reached 3061 clientele through on-
farm consults, phone calls, group meetings, emails and office
visits. Extension seeks to make our food system fully sustainable by
teaching Integrated Pest Management (IPM), variety selection, pest
management and improved marketing skills.
Ø Producers were able to identify and control pests based on Extension
recommended thresholds on 80% of peanut, cotton and soybean
acreage (8,000 acres). Eliminating one pesticide application resulted in
savings of $80,000 ($10 per acre) in pesticide cost.
Ø IPM is also a technique that is important to the economic success of
farmers. Farmers were taught how to identify and scout for kudzu
bugs, a new insect pest in Okaloosa County in 2013. In a University of
Georgia study, the average yield loss to kudzu bugs was 18%. We
estimate that 800 acres of soybeans were planted in 2013 with an
average yield of 42 bushels/acre. Thus, the economic loss of $78,624
(6,048 bushels at $13/bushel) due to kudzu bugs was avoided by
Okaloosa County farmers.
Packet Pg. 99
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST YEAR (Horticulture):

January 1, 2014. Completing the Green Industries Best Management
Practices (GI-BMP) training and passing the test is mandatory to obtain
the license.
Ø The Commercial Horticulture program in Okaloosa County enabled 739
Green Industry professionals to obtain and maintain the state required
licensing for pesticide and fertilizer application. In doing so, these
individuals alleviated the potential for fines from non-compliance,
learned how to protect themselves and others from harmful effects of
pesticides and acquired the knowledge needed to prevent
environmental damage.
Ø Seventy-five Master Gardeners provided 8849 hours of volunteer
service, teaching 4237 residents Florida Friendly practices in
maintaining their lawns, landscapes and gardens. Using the 2013

Gardeners contributed a net in-kind donation of $165,122 to Okaloosa
County.
