TO: James E. Chandler, ,County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E Capital Projects Manager SUBJECT: Resolution Approving the Submittal of a Grant Application Under the State of Florida FY 1993/94 Beach Erosion Control Assistance Program DATE: February 3, 1992 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The County submitted a grant application to the Florida Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in FY 1991/92 for funding under the Beach Erosion Control Assistance Program. The Application provided for the following improvements: ' 1. Dune maintenance at Wabasso Beach Park. 2. Dune maintenance and walkover at Golden Sands Park. 3. Five (5) dune walkovers at Treasure Shores Park. The Florida Governor and Cabinet approved funding for this project in the FY 1991/92 Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) Fixed Capital Outlay Budget, but funding was denied by the Florida Legislature. The County resubmitted the same application for funding in the FY 1992/93 budget. On September 12, 1991 the Florida Governor and Cabinet approved funding in the FY 1992/93 DNR Fixed Capital Outlay Budget. The DNR has submitted this Capital Outlay Budget to the Florida Legislature for approval. In view of the financial problems that are still being experienced by the State, it is questionable whether or not funds will be made available for this project in the FY 1992/93 Florida Beach Erosion Control Program. The Division of Beaches and Shores, will be accepting project applications for the FY 1993/94 DNR Fixed Capital Outlay Budget through May 1, 1992. Staff recommends that the County resubmit the attached upded application for consideration in the DNR's FY 1993/94 budget. This action will ensure legislative funding consideration for FY 1993/94 if funding is not made available in FY 1992/93. The estimated cost to the State for these improvements is $244,575 (75%) and to the County is $81,525 (25%), for total estimated cost of $326,100. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached resolution, authorizing the submittal of an application under the State Florida Beach Erosion Control Assistance Program for the purpose of requesting State financial assistance. 31 FEB 1119 L.
