Fr - <br />APR 1 1 1989 <br />BOOK 76 PAGE 529 <br />TO: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br />A//4J2 <br />Robert M. eat�C , A <br />Community Devel men Di <br />p rector <br />FROM: Roland DeBloish <br />Chief, Environmental Planning <br />DATE: April 5, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: HISTORIC SURVEY GRANT <br />APPLICATION FOR INCORPORATED <br />CITIES AREA <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the $Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting of April 11, 1989. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />On March 28, 1989, the Board 6f County Commissioners authorized <br />staff to contact local municipalities to determined their willing- <br />ness to finance their share of an expanded historic survey to <br />include incorporated areas of the county. If the municipalities <br />agree to pay their share of the project, an amended contract with <br />Historic Property Associates wou]„d be forthcoming and authorized <br />accordingly. <br />While staff have not yet verified the municipalities' willingness <br />to participate, there is presently an opportunity for the County <br />to apply for a Historic Preservation Grant -in -Aid from the <br />Department of State, Division of Historic Resources, to provide up <br />to 50% of the funds needed for the project. The grant application <br />deadline is April 17, 1989. <br />County staff request that the Board authorize staff to proceed <br />with a Historic Preservation Grant -in -Aid application to meet the <br />April 17, 1989 submittal deadline, even though the extent of <br />incorporated municipality participation has not yet been verified. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: <br />Historic Property Associates, Inc. have substantially completed <br />the work involved in submitting the referenced grant application. <br />The cost estimates of the incorporated historic survey have been <br />slightly modified from the information presented on March 28, 1989 <br />(see the attached letter and application). Successful application <br />for the Grant -in -Aid, however, would cut the estimated cost in <br />half, to a total municipal cost of $9,440.00, to be shared among <br />the participating municipalities. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize <br />staff to submit an application for Historic Preservation <br />Grant -in -Aid for a historic survey of the incorporated county, for <br />the amount of $9,440.00, to be matched by Indian River County as <br />shared with participating municipalities. <br />13a <br />
