Dist. Governing Board City of St. Petersburg City of Clearwater City of Tampa Pasco County US EPA TBEP TBEP TBEP TBEP TBEP TBEP TBEP TBEP Legal Counsel 1. PUBLIC HEARING ON FY PROPOSED PROGRAM-WIDE BUDGET Commissioner Justice announced this budget hearing is a requirement that has to be completed each August for the budget beginning October 1 st, This budget item has been advertised as required. a. Open Public Hearing b. Staff Presentation c. Citizens Comments. No citizens were present to make comment. d. Close Public Hearing 2. General Citizens Comments
6 8 There were no citizen comments. 3. Approval of changes to agenda Two changes to the agenda were announced. The minutes from the May 19, 2017 Policy Board meeting needed to include that the Operating Procedures updates were approved. Additionally, an item #8a, the TBEP Executive Director Performance Evaluation needs to be added, and included a handout at member s places. Motion by Commissioner White to approve changes to the agenda and seconded by Councilman Cundiff. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Approval of Minutes of May 19, 2017 Policy Board meeting Motion by Councilman Cundiff to approve the minutes of the May 19, 2017 Policy Board Meeting, as edited, and seconded by Mr. Jeff Adams. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Acceptance of Financial Reports Mr. Ron Hosler explained this budget covered the period ending June 30, 2017, nine months into this fiscal year. Some categories are under budget at this time, and the agency balance is $327,000 in revenue. Motion by Councilman Maniscalco to accept the Financial Reports and seconded by Councilman Cundiff. Motion passed unanimously. 6. Adoption of Initial FY17-18 TBEP Program-Wide Budget Mr. Hosler explained this budget item is not a requirement, but helps to align expenses as the year progresses. This budget begins October 1, The contract category footnote is included to indicate that once the remaining agreements are in place, the number will increase. The federal revenue is less than last year, which in turn will reduce the amount of in-kind TBEP is required to provide for this budget. Ms. Greening pointed out the unassigned funds category of $388,000; which just a little more than half way to the goal of $750,000. Motion by Councilman Maniscalco to adopt the Initial FY17-18 TBEP Program-Wide Budget and seconded by Commissioner Robin DiSabatino. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Approval of Hard Bottom Mapping contract Mr. Ed Sherwood stated that TBEP released an RFP in July and received one response. The selection committee met to discuss the RFP and decided to request a slight change in the proposed timeline as well as some additional details on the side scan components. Mr. Sherwood showed members photos taken around Tampa Bay highlighting some of the hard bottom areas, including sponges, sea fans and sea whips. Ms. Greening stated that this project will be taking TBEP into a new direction of focus on the underwater habitats. This study will
7 9 help to set targets for the underwater habitats and the results will be included in the Habitat Masterplan. Councilman Cundiff thanked Commissioner Justice and Pinellas County for their support. Commissioner Justice explained Ms. Levy and Mr. Squires made the recommendations. Motion by Commissioner DiSabatino to: a. Accept $100,000 in funds from Pinellas County to support the Hard Bottom Mapping and Characterization within Tampa Bay project. b. Accept $23,000 in funds from EPCHC to support the Hard Bottom Mapping and Characterization within Tampa Bay project. c. Approve CSA Ocean Services to conduct the Hard Bottom Mapping and Characterization within Tampa Bay project. d. Authorize Executive Director to enter into contract with CSA Ocean Services for an amount not to exceed $199,981. e. Authorize Executive Director to amend Scope and Budget (up to $25,000) for contract, if additional funds become available. And seconded by Councilman Maniscalco. Motion approved unanimously. 8. Ecologically-important shorelines and ship wakes Dr. Raulerson explained that this is another study where results will be included in the TBEP Habitat Masterplan. He stated that US FWS approached TBEP to help provide scientific evidence. This study is an assessment of ships such as cruise ships and cargo container ships which may be causing habitat degradation due to wave energy. The areas identified through this assessment may indicate areas in need of future habitat restoration. Potential next steps for this project include working with cruise lines and others to find funds to help prevent and restore areas identified through this study. There was discussion about the idea the degradation could be caused by wind instead of wave energy and this project should be able to identify and focus on those areas affected by ships wakes. Potential solutions could include reef balls, living shorelines, but likely not modification to ships, rather shoreline armoring. The final product will be a map highlighting areas of erosion. Motion by Councilman Maniscalco to: a. Authorize Executive Director to enter into agreement with USFWS to accept funds in the amount of $24,000 for the ecological analysis of impacts of ship waves. b. Authorize Executive Director to enter into an agreement not exceeding $14,000 with the Center for Maritime and Port Studies at the University of South Florida for analysis of frequency and magnitude of vessel generated wave interactions on shorelines along the major shipping corridors in Tampa Bay. c. Authorize Executive Director to amend Scope and Budget (up to $25,000) of agreement if additional funds become available And seconded by Commissioner DiSabatino. Motion passed unanimously. 8a Final Performance Evaluation for TBEP Executive Director, Holly Greening
8 10 Ms. Greening asked members to view the handout, labeled #8a, at their places. Members discussed whether the final performance review was necessary, as Ms. Greening will be retiring in February, However, TBEP s cooperative agreement with US EPA requires an annual Director evaluation, which can be accomplished by approving an evaluation. Members reviewed the evaluation for Ms. Greening. Motion by Councilman Cundiff to approve the final Director s evaluation and seconded by Mr. Jeff Adams. Motion passed unanimously. 9. Approval of TBEP Executive Director selection process Ms. Greening highlighted the section process timeline. She stated that applications will be due to TBEP by October 6, 2017 and Policy Board members will be able to review the applications and provide their top 5 candidate selections no later than October 25 th. A special meeting, at the TBRPC, on October 27 th will be held to select interviewees. On November 17 th, the Policy Board will have a brief meeting in the morning followed by interviews and selection of the next Executive Director. Mr. Don Conn made suggestions including: if a Policy Board member applies, they must recuse themselves from selection, also if their alternate applies. If a Management Board member applies, the Policy Board may fully participate. If TBEP staff applies, they will be treated as any other applicant and asked to leave during selection process. Mr. Conn suggested applicants not contact Policy Board members during this selection process. Mr. McGill stated he thought this was a great process, great approach and liked using the same questions for consistency. Motion by Mr. Adams to: a. Approve Executive Director selection process b. Approve Executive Director Position Announcement and seconded by Commissioner DiSabatino. Motion passed unanimously. 10. Executive Director and Staff Reports Ms. Greening announced that TBEP will be receiving $600,000 in Federal funding through the US EPA for this year, which begins on October 1, 2017 and ends on September 30, Congress has not yet passed a 2018 budget, but it looks like a continuing resolution may be in place which would include funding for the NEPs at $600,000 for Ms. Misty Cladas announced that the Bay Mini-Grant deadline is September 15, 2017 and a free webinar will be held on August 22 nd for any interested in learning more about the grants. Postcards were left at member places for distribution and information. Dr. Gary Raulerson stated that seagrass transect training recently took place. He thanked Mr. Frey for allowing the use of Lassing Park for the training areas, as it has multiple types of grass and serves as a good teaching area.
9 11 Ms. Nanette O Hara announced the Florida Birding Festival and directed members to the postcard at their places. She stated that TBEP helps to support the Birding Festival with printing of the postcards, social media and other items. Mr. Sherwood announced that staff have been working on a publication highlighting trends in seagrass. He informed members about the Open Science Synthesis Course he recently completed in California. He demonstrated some open-source science tools (the basis of the course). Due to the amount of data on habitats in Tampa Bay, TBEP was chosen to participate in this class and Tampa Bay used an example during the class. Mr. Sherwood stated this was basically a college course compressed into 3 weeks, and can be taught to others; maybe folks on the TAC, if interested. Mr. Hosler announced that TBEP had recently completed a State of Florida audit of the specialty license plate funds. While the audit has not been finalized, the auditors indicated that TBEP complied with requests and everything looked to be in order. 11. Final CCMP walk-through Ms. O Hara highlighted how the new digital CCMP will display on computer screens and showed how links will help users to find content. The on-line document will allow for printable pages. The completed document should be posted on TBEP website in a couple of weeks. 12.

23 25 Agenda Item #7 Policy Board November 17, 2017 Investigation of potential for remediation of algal blooms by shellfish Recommended Actions: a. Authorize Executive Director to enter into agreement not exceeding $50,000 with the FFWCC-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute for investigations of the utility of shellfish to decrease severity of Pyrodinium bahamense blooms. b. Authorize Executive Director to amend Scope and Budget (up to $25,000) of agreement if additional funds become available. Background: Blooms of Pyrodinium bahamense have been occurring on an annual (summertime) basis in Old Tampa Bay since the early 2000s, with severe blooms occurring on occasion. These blooms, similar to other harmful algal species such as red tide, can cause both fish kills and create health issues for humans, both through respiratory problems and the potential for saxitoxins to cause direct illnesses after consumption of affected fish. An FWRI study completed in 2016 (partly funded through TBERF) characterized seeding potential of Pyrodinium bahamense cyst beds occurring in Old Tampa Bay. Some preliminary research has indicated that severe blooms of P. bahamense result from a combination of stormwater events and physical water quality conditions in Old Tampa Bay. Creation of shellfish (e.g., American oyster, Crassostrea virginica, and Quahog clam, Mercenaria campechiensis) nurseries that could compete with the dinoflagellate for nutrients or directly consume the microorganism is a potential management solution for P. bahamense, but requires additional research within Tampa Bay to understand potential effectiveness and limitations. The duration of the project is anticipated to be 12 months. Funding for this project is from the TBEP FY workplan and may be leveraged with additional funding sources. Objectives: 1) Identify native shellfish species capable of survival during P. bahamense blooms in aquarium settings. 2) Investigate potential for those shellfish species to interfere with one or more life cycle stages of P. bahamense. 3) With input from the TBEP Technical Advisory Committee, determine next steps, including potential for larger scale (in-situ) experiments in Old Tampa Bay.
