Recommendation: Approve Resolution No. R-24-23 authorizing staff to apply for Florida Boater Improvement Program funds for the design and permitting for the dredging of Main Street Boat Ramp and provide authorization for the Mayor to execute. Backeround: The Main Street boat ramp is a heavily used access point for City of Sebastian residents and visitors. The ramp area provides easy access in and out of the water at the center of the City's Sebastian Waterfront District. To continue accommodating vessels of varying sizes, the area in front of the ramp is in need of dredging. At the February 28, 2024 meeting, City Council approved a resolution approving an application to the Florida Boater Improvement Program for the dredging, however, we will not be able to meet the timelines for design, permitting and construction as identified by the grantor so we are revising our application in order to fund only design and permitting. The project will be included in the FY2025 Capital Improvement Plan and we plan to supplement this with other grant funding.
