As noted in the grant application and to obtain the greatest benefit from the funds provided in the grant award, the County would incur expenses related to utilizing county equipment for loading the debris when it reaches land and transporting the derelict vessels to the landfill wherein fees would be incurred. Staff will work with Deputy Kirby in obtaining bids for the marine work with the goal of obtaining the maximum benefit from the funds provided by the State in this cooperative effort to remove these hazards from the public waters of the Indian River. All work and payments related to this project must be completed by November 17, 2001. Deputy Chuck Kirby will be available at the Commission meeting to answer any questions the Board may have regarding the planned marine operations. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board approve the Derelict Vessel Removal Program Grant Agreement and authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents. Staff also recommends the Board authorize the necessary expenditure of funds for loading and transporting the derelict vessel debris as well as the landfill fees associated with the project. It is not anticipated that the landfill fees will exceed $2,500, although there is no accurate way to determine the expense at this point in time. Commissioner Stanbridge thanked staff for a good job. ON MOTION by Commissioner Stanbridge, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved the Derelict Vessel Removal Program Grant Agreement and authorized the Chairman to execute the same; and authorized the necessary expenditure of funds for loading and transporting the derelict vessel debris, as well as the landfill fees associated with the project, not -to - exceed $2,500, as recommended by staff.
