Any funds received from the USACOE will be returned to the General Fund <br />contingency account and will further reduce the costs incurred by the County in the beach <br />cleanup project. <br />Staff was able to reduce the estimated cost of the project by working during low tide for the <br />most part, using the 330L Trac Hoe to remove debris in lieu of the LARC, and placing large <br />dumpsters at the site to place the debris in rather than staging it on the beach which would have <br />required the material to be handled twice by different types of heavy equipment. Staff also <br />ended the project when it was determined that only military related debris remained and a <br />commitment was obtained from the USACOE that the debris would be removed before they <br />terminated the effort. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board approve the expenditures noted above. The $45.859 unspent <br />balance of the $90.000 budeet approved for this proiect will be returned to the General <br />Fund contingency account. Staff also requests continued support and authorization to press the <br />USACOE for reimbursement of the expenses incurred by the County for military related debris. <br />Director Wright credited Fire Division Lt. Blades Robinson <br />with the savings achieved and requested the Board approve the <br />application for derelict vessel removal grant (next item). <br />Commissioner Ginn commended Director Wright for a very fine <br />job, and Director Wright declared that staff deserved the credit. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Commissioner Macht being absent) approved Budget <br />Amendment 020 and staff's recommendation, as set <br />forth in the Memorandum. <br />36 <br />March 25, 1997 <br />
