RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Ratifying the Bob Sikes Toll Booth Funding Allocation for the 4th of July Weekend - Commissioner Robert Bender, District 4

That the Board approve and ratify Commissioner Robert Bender allocating $65,000 from his Intern discretionary money to reimburse the Bob Sikes Toll Booth revenue when tolls were lifted to allow our residents and visitors to enjoy Pensacola Beach without sitting in traffic or being concerned about how much it would cost during the 4th of July holiday weekend, July 4-7, 2019.

[Funding: From Fund 001, Cost Center 110101, Object Code 53401, to Revenue Account 344601, Bob Sikes Toll Revenue]

BACKGROUND:

After seeing an increase in the amount of traffic headed to Pensacola Beach on recent weekends, Commissioner Bender wanted people to enjoy their 4th of July weekend and not worry about how much they would be charged to go through the Bob Sikes toll booth. As a result, the time it took to travel from Fairpoint Drive in Gulf Breeze to Pensacola Beach was sufficiently shortened.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

On June 2, 2015, the Board voted to establish an Intern program and allocated $50,000, $10,000 for each Commissioners' office, to fund this program. In the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Budget and every budget thereafter, each Commissioner has received $20,000 to use for this program.
