Council Member Brown requested
that the next PHS Committee study the issue of retention ponds and their
regulation and maintenance. The Jacksonville
Waterways Commission, which he chairs, briefly discussed the potential for
future pollution problems arising from retention ponds collecting and
concentrating pollutants over a course of many years. He also is concerned about the water quality
in the ponds, and the lack of regulation of people swimming in or catching
eating fish from the ponds which may be contaminated. Chairwoman Lee will suggest to the incoming
PHS Chair that this item be placed on their agenda. Lisa Rinaman stated that the pending update
of the City’s Stormwater Master Plan offers a good opportunity to explore the
issue of retention ponds, and noted that the Environmental Forum coming up in
July will have a session devoted to the Stormwater Master Plan.
Council Member Crescimbeni
congratulated the Chair on a good year of committee work, with many interesting
presentations and good research into issues not necessarily related to bills on
the agenda.
