FIOME OF PEUGN tStAND AGENDA TRANSMITTAL Subject: Agenda No. FLORIDA BOATING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Department Orrin: Cit i Manager ' ' GRANT [ Finance• ~~.•.. City Attorney: Ap ve ubmittal by: City Clerk: Date Submitted: Jun 08 i Mana er E hibits: EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: AMOUNT BUDGETED: APPROPRIATION N/A N/A REQUIRED: N/A SUMMARY The attached resolution provides Council support for the Florida Boating Improvement Grant Program sponsored by Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission. Recently, City staff has applied for $425,291 in funding which is applicable to the Indian River Drive/Main Street Project. If received, these funds can significantly reduce the total cost of the project, thereby having the potential to fund the construction with $912,823 in grant funding, equaling 50% of the construction costs. Concerning the construction portion of the project, the City currently has $1,822,494 available. These funds come from the following categories: FUNDING SOURCE ~ AMOUNT CRA Fund $834,962 Recreation Impact Fee Fund $500,000 FIND Grant $487,532 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION FUNDS $1,822,494 From these funds, the City has a cash allocation of $1,334,962. Obviously if the FWS grant is received, these funds can be reduced by $425,291 and shift monies back to either the CRA or Recreational Impact Fee Fund. One other item concerning project costs. The allocation of $1.82 million does not include money we have spent to date on the project such as engineering and property purchase. These costs equal an additional expense of $598,690.24. All costs in and if the estimates for construction are reached, the total project will be $2.4 Million. Below is a spreadsheet, which outlines total costs to date for the entire project. Please keep in mind that construction costs are estimates, they could increase or decrease based on actually bids. 45 __ _ _ __ _ INDIAN RIVER DRIVEIMAIN STREET PROJECT C0741 _ _ ~ _ __ Direct Charges to CRA Fund: :Land Purchase 397 849 24 Appraisals on 806 Indian River Drive 10,000.00 Not~ceslPostage _ _ _ _ _ __ 719.75 Schulke for Design 190 061.25 598 690.24 :Transfer to Project from CRA Fund: _. _ FY2007 _...

Need Statement: I .Currently access to the existing boat ramp to lauch a vessel causes entire blockage of Indian River Drive and a public safety hazard. There has been an overall increase of boaters utilizing the boat ramp and trailer parking area. Many will park their trailers along US 1 and other non-designated areas. 2. Reconstruction of the existing boat trailer parking area to allow more boat trailers parking along with a staging azea, and remove the current envimmnenial impacts associated with stormwater run-off directly into the Indian River Lagoon. 3. There are no public restroom facilities at the boat ramp. Boaters currently leave the boat ramp area. c. Project Tasks: Task 1 Realign Indian River Drive to the West to direct non boating traffic away from the ramp to increase public safety. Task 2 Install stormwater treatment facilities. Task 3 Reconsh~uct the existing boat trailer parking, to provide 28 designated spaces, with a staging area. Task 4 Construct public restrooms that connect to Sanitary Sewer lift station and County water to keep ail wastewater off site. Task S Install Educational Kiosks, and landscaping d. Project Benefits: By providing more spaces for parking, provide public amenities, and ensure boating safety, we will provide recreational, natural and physical access opportunities, and enhance the historic fishing village character of Sebastian. 5Z FWC/FBIP-s (01/08) Page 3 of 9 V -PROJECT ELEMENTS: BOAT RAMPS & PUBLIC LAUNCHING FACILITIES a.
