ANALYSIS <br />Under the proposed agreement, the Grand Harbor Community Association will contribute to the cost of <br />repairing the southernmost (longest) of the three docks on the island and removing the other two docks <br />that are in disrepair. The County, in turn, will apply for a $7,500 "Small -Scale Spoil Island Restoration <br />and Enhancement Program" grant from the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) to partially pay for <br />the dock repair and removal. As specified in the agreement, the County and the Association will split the <br />cost of dock improvements beyond the amount covered by the FIND grant ($7,500 is the maximum <br />amount available under the grant). Based on a recent cost estimate from a marine contractor, staff <br />anticipates that repair of the southernmost dock and removal of the other two docks will cost <br />approximately $22,000. Assuming that the County succeeds in obtaining a $7,500 FIND grant for the <br />work, the cost to the County and to the Association is estimated at $7,250 each. <br />Other aspects of the proposed agreement are summarized as follows: <br />• The Association and the County shall confer and develop a plan for mutually acceptable <br />amenities on the island (such as picnic tables, grills) and share costs (50/50); <br />• The Association will provide volunteer services such as removal of trash, brush and small tree <br />debris from the useable upland area of the lease, keeping a log of the services that will <br />periodically be provided to the County; <br />• The Association shall maintain general liability insurance providing coverage with respect to <br />activities on the island within the County's lease area; <br />• The Term of the agreement shall be concurrent with the term of the County's lease with the State. <br />Cost and Funding <br />140" As indicated, staff estimates the overall cost of removing two docks and repairing one dock (the <br />southernmost dock) to be approximately $22,000. Accounting for a $7,500 FIND Small -Scale Spoil <br />Island grant and 50% cost -share with the Grand Harbor Community Association, the County's cost is <br />estimated at $7,250 (for the dock work, not including upland amenities as such picnic tables and/or grills, <br />.to be determined at a later date). The proposed funding source for the County's share of the costs would <br />come from MSTU reserves. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed Agreement for <br />Improvement and Maintenance of Boat Club Island and authorize the Board Chairman to sign the <br />document on behalf of the County. Staff also recommends that the Board authorize county staff to apply <br />for a "Small -Scale Spoil Island Restoration and Enhancement Grant" from FIND for cost -share of <br />improvements to Boat Club Island as described herein. <br />'ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.
