BOOK PAGE�U <br />DATE: May 23, 2000 <br />TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator <br />THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Directo <br />Christopher J. Kafer, Jr., P.E., County Engin <br />FROM: Robert S. Skok, Civil Engineer fC e <br />SUBJECT: Sebastian Canoe Launch - F.D.E.P. Grant Extension <br />The Engineering Division currently has a project to construct a canoe launch along the Sebastian <br />River. Partial funding for the project is a $105,000.00 grant from the Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection. The grant was executed in July 1998 and expires July 31, 2000. <br />Attached are two original amendments to extend the construction completion date until January 30, <br />2001. <br />This grant was originally obtained by the City of Sebastian. The original site the city looked at was <br />not chosen due to it being in a residential neighborhood and council did not approve the location. <br />The city turned the project over to the county. County staff had to start from scratch to find a <br />location. Since that time, county staff has located a site, identified wetlands area, researched <br />environmental impacts, designed construction plans, and made permit application with state <br />agencies. The project still needs to go before both County and City of Sebastian Planning Boards. <br />Engineering staff anticipates an August or early September construction start date. Construction <br />should not take more than 60 calender days. Time will then be necessary to complete the projects <br />final reimbursement paperwork and submit to F.D.E.P. <br />Staff recommends the board approve the attached amendments and authorize the chairman to execute <br />the same. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board <br />unanimously approved the amendments and <br />authorized the Chairman to execute same, as <br />recommended by staff. <br />JUNE 69 2000 <br />
