An agreement between the District and Polk County was executed on June 18, 2008. The City was issued a Notice to
Proceed on June 19, 2008. The agreement between Polk County and their consultant, PEC was approved by Polk
County on June 18, 2008 and a Notice to Proceed was issued in July 2008. A kick-off meeting was held in July 2008
where Polk County informed the District that they will not be able to acquire an 8.5 acre parcel, which includes the
existing wetland due price negotiations with the owner. PEC is focusing their restoration efforts on an 3.5 acre parcel the
County currently owns. In addition, the County is in the process of purchasing a portion of an adjacent property, just
northeast of the parcel currently owned by Polk County, to incorporate into the enhanced wetland design. The consultant
submitted for an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) in July 2009 and is currently addressing comments.
