i I i Page 2 Agenda Item For 4-12-16 BCC Meeting FIND Project Agreement No. ICW- IR -16-01 On October 20, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners approved Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Project Agreement No ICW-IR-15-01, which committed reimbursement of 75% ($5,175) for the total removal costs for DV -1 and DV -2. Total removal costs were $6,900. DV -1 and DV -2 were successfully removed from the waterway on January 9, 2016. On March 8, 2016, FIND provided $5,175 in reimbursement to the County. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The subject of this agenda item is to request the Board's approval of FIND Project Agreement No. ICW-IR-16-01. The attached agreement commits up to $4,500 at a cost share ratio of 75% FIND — 25% Local. The total local share under this agreement is $1,125 with a maximum FIND reimbursement of $3,375 for the removal cost for two derelict vessels (DV -3 and DV -4). On January 29, 2016, DV -3 and DV -4 were successfully removed from the waterway. Note: at the time FIND Project Agreement No. ICW-IR-15-01 was issued, the County had not yet received FWC removal authorization for derelict vessels DV -3 and DV -4. As such, removal of the four derelict vessels were authorized under two separate County Purchase Orders and consequently staff requested FIND cost share under two separate grant applications. On March 7, 2016, staff was contacted by Mr. Bob Stone, Esq. Mr. Stone identified that his firm was representing Mr. Joseph Hatmaker who is the owner of derelict vessel DV -3. Under Court order Mr. Hatmaker is required to fully reimburse the County the $2,500 in total expenses paid for the removal of his vessel. On March 10, 2016, Mr. Hatmaker issued the County a Promissory Note identifying that he will reimburse the County the full $2,500 at the following rate; $500 lump sum payment on March 11, 2016 with subsequent $200 per month payments with the full balance being paid in full on or before January 31, 2017. Although staff is requesting Board approval of FIND Project Agreement No. ICW-IR-16-01, which includes FIND reimbursement of 75% of the total $2,500 removal costs for DV -3 ($1,875), staff does not intend to invoice FIND for the reimbursement of $1,875 provided Mr. Hatmaker fully reimburses the County.
