2009 Hurricane Season Preparedness Workshop. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for Florida’s electric utilities as well as local exchange companies to brief the Commission on their 2009 hurricane season preparation. As has been well documented, the multiple hurricanes and tropical storms of 2004 and 2005 caused extensive electric utility restoration costs and outages in Florida. National hurricane experts again are calling for a more active than average hurricane season in 2009, which begins June 1, 2009.
The Commission has scheduled this workshop to ensure that all appropriate actions have been taken to protect the electric transmission and distribution facilities in the state from the impact of extreme weather events such as hurricanes. Each utility will address the status of preparation it has achieved in protecting its facilities to date. Such preparations may include the status of facility inspections; maintenance and repairs; coordination with other utilities, government, and community groups; and various storm-hardening measures. These presentations will also address work remaining to be done and specifically identify areas of concern or vulnerability.
Both the electric utilities and the local exchange companies are scheduled to make presentations. It is understood that while the electric utilities own the vast majority of the electric transmission and distribution infrastructure in the state, local exchange companies own many of the poles upon which electric utility infrastructure is placed.
EMERGENCY CANCELLATION OF WORKSHOP: If a named storm or other disaster requires cancellation of the workshop, Commission staff will attempt to give timely direct notice to all interested persons. Notice of cancellation of the workshop will also be provided on the Commission’s website (http://www.psc.state.fl.us/) under the Hot Topics link found on the home page.

There will be an opportunity for public input on the intention to amend the District’s fiscal year (FY) 2009 budget as follows:
Decrease the FY2009 Manasota Basin budget by $1,645,844 from $23,973,594 to $22,327,750 to reflect the reallocation of revenue from the Water Management Lands Trust Fund (WMLTF). This amendment removes $2 million from the FY2009 budget that had been allocated from the WMLTF for an education center within the Basin for reallocation to the District’s Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) projects. Of this amount, $354,156 was allocated from the WMLTF for SWIM projects in the Manasota Basin, for a net budget decrease of $1,645,844.
Decrease the FY2009 Withlacoochee River Basin budget by $1,900,000 from $12,642,261 to $10,742,261 to reflect the reallocation of revenue from the WMLTF. This amendment removes $2 million from the FY2009 budget that had been allocated from the WMLTF for an education center within the Basin for reallocation to District SWIM projects. Of this amount, $100,000 was allocated from the WMLTF for a SWIM project in the Withlacoochee River Basin, for a net budget decrease of $1,900,000.

-
Stephanie D. Alexander, Esquire, on behalf of the Renaissance Charter School, Inc.,; Because there exists another adequate remedy – a challenge to the consistency of the interlocal agreement or compliance of the public schools facilities element – Petitioner can not use the declaratory statement process to supplant that remedy. A response to Petitioner’s request for declaratory statement would amount to a policy statement of general applicability requiring compliance by all Florida county governments, non-exempt municipalities and school boards. Such a statement is to be made only by rule or in statute. Therefore, Petitioner’s request is not a lawful subject for a declaratory statement.
