Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />and <br />Roger D. Cain, P.E. <br />County Engineer <br />�� <br />FROM: Michelle A. Gen ile, CET <br />Civil Engineer <br />SUBJECT: 14th Street Canal Dredging Funding <br />DATE: June 8, 1990 <br />----------------------------------------------------------------- <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />On April 12, 1988 at the regular meeting of the Board of County <br />Commissioners, the Board heard discussions from the residents of <br />Fairlane Harbor and the Rockridge area regarding the dredging of <br />the 14th Street Canal. <br />,� After Hurricane "David" in September 1979, additional amounts of <br />silt and sand were deposited at the mouth of the 14th Street <br />Canal at the Indian River. This made navigation impossible, <br />especially at low tide. Also, after. the construction of the <br />Indian River Boulevard and the bridge over the canal, additional <br />sand was deposited in the canal at this location. Residents in <br />the area have requested that the county dredge this canal so the <br />canal could be used for boating and fishing and allow the <br />manatees to swim in the canal. <br />The Board asked staff to determine the magnitude of the project, <br />obtain the necessary permits and contact dredging companies, <br />prior to -committing any money at this time. <br />On March 15, 1990, the Engineering staff made an, oral <br />presentation to Florida Inland Navigation District Board of <br />Commissioners in Jensen Beach, Florida. At that meeting F.I.N.D. <br />stated that their commissioners Would meet at a later date to <br />evaluate the presentation and make recommendations as to whether <br />or not we would.receive funding and if so, how much. <br />25 <br />900a <br />
