Subsequent to this meeting, staff completed a budget amendment <br />to appropriate the $100,000 donation from the ELC and the additional $100,000 from the FIND <br />revenues, for a total of $200,000. <br />The County advertised for bids for replacement of the dock on June 9, 2022 (Bid No. 2022065). <br />Bids were received on July 15, 2022.
