DATE AND TIME: April 11, 2007, 2:00 p.m.

PLACE: Bob Martinez Center, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Room 611, Tallahassee, FL

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive testimony and public comment and to take final action on management of the FY 2007 State Revolving Fund (SRF) priority list for water pollution control loan projects under Chapter 62-503, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and management of the FY 2006 Disadvantaged Small Community Grant priority list under Chapter 62-505, F.A.C.

Projects qualifying under Chapter 62-503, F.A.C. for wastewater, stormwater, or non-point source loans will be ranked and added to the priority list if requests and required documentation are received by March 12, 2007 and approved by the Department by March 27, 2007.

No funds are expected to be available for assignment to new projects on the Financially Disadvantaged Small Community Grant priority list. Eligible grant amounts may be adjusted for ongoing projects that are under binding agreement and remain incompletely funded and allocations of special legislative appropriations may be adjusted among those Financially Disadvantaged Small Community Grant projects which have binding agreements and which have incurred costs exceeding available grant funding.

The Department may adopt, modify, or deny the proposed actions at the hearing. Pursuant to subsection 62 503.600(4), F.A.C., the Department’s funding commitment to projects currently assigned to the water pollution control loan priority list may be withdrawn at the hearing if a local government is delinquent in submitting documents as scheduled. Prior to Department action at the hearing, all interested persons will have the opportunity to testify regarding the list and any proposed actions.

After the hearing, the Department will file the written Record of Final Agency Action. A copy of the Record of Final Agency Action will be made available to persons sponsoring the projects at issue and to any person submitting a written request. A copy of the draft priority lists may be obtained by contacting Gary Powell at the same address, phone [phone] or Suncom 205-8358 or e mail [e-mail].
