agencies relating to the law enforcement aspect of the dock. The need for a dry line was established
later and had not been included in the original agreements. Staff may end up seeking additional funds
and cost sharing from the Fire Department if they will be housing the law enforcement boat there,
but this grant application is a way of helping with the initial design and installation cost of the dry
dock.

The City Manager explained this is Staffs request from the Community Redevelopment Agency for
approval to apply for a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant to assist with the
renovations of the Main Street Captain Hardee Boat Ramp. This will be for the needed design and
the construction portion of the project. The total budget for this portion of the project is $400,000.
If the CRA give its approval for the application, Staff will request a $200,000 LWCF grant and
request a $150,000 match from the CPA budget and use the $50,000 from the previously approved
FIND grant (Item H above). If approved by the CRA, Staff asks for this item to be forwarded to City
Council for approval as well.
Mr. Dodd asked for clarification because the Executive Summary within the Staff Report says that
this LWCF grant will fund half of the improvements.
The City Manager reviewed that the half refers to the $200,000 LWCF grant which will cover half
of the $400,000 estimated cost for the project.
Mr. Dodd asked if the $400,000 will cover all of the needed improvements.
The City Manager said it is unknown if $400,000 will be enough to handle all of the improvements.
The costs are an estimate because the design has not yet been completed, but this will include the
costs for dredging. If more funds are needed, Staff will pursue additional funding mechanisms or
additional funds from the City.
