Agenda Item Title: ATTACHMENT &7 RESOLUTION FOR ASSISTANCE 2023 UNDER

ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - NORTH COUNTY MARINE LAW
ENFORCEMENT FACILITY
Recommendation: Approve ATTACHMENT E-7 RESOLUTION FOR ASSISTANCE 2023
UNDER THE FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT
WATERWAYS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - NORTH COUNTY
MARINE LAW ENFORCEMENT FACILITY
Background: The City is pursuing a grant from the Florida Inland Navigation
District (FIND) to assist with the funding for a project entitled NORTH COUNTY MARINE LAW
ENFORCEMENT FACILITY In the amount of S100.000.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Indian River County Sheriff Department
(IRC) and the City of Sebastian Marine Law Enforcement agencies are seeking a safe haven for their
emergency vessels to aid in the public's health, safety, and welfare along the navigable waterways. Current
accommodations are no longer available at no charge forcing many of the vessels to be dry docked until an
emergency arises, adding precious time to aid public emergencies on the water. Existing City facilities will be
altered to accommodate law enforcement marine vessels including fencing, lighting, cameras, signage, lock
boxes etc. to provide efficient and timely emergency services to the public.
Currently the City maintains a 26-slip docking facility, Twin Piers, which is available for temporary mooring
of vessels. The City proposes to modify the eastern 6 slips to accommodate the marine law enforcement
vessels. Minor changes to the existing Submerged Land Lease will be pursued with the FDEP. At this time,
the IRC Sherriffs Department, FWC, and the Sebastian Marine Patrol are supportive and grateful for this
opportunity to provide this important service to the public from an accessible facility. Our partners in this
project, IRC Sherriff s Department and FWC have committed to provide the required 50% funding match for
the grant. All parties recognize the importance of securing a permanent home for this necessary facility.
Application for the grant is due March 27, 2023 and requires an official resolution in the District format,
Form No. 90-21.
