Recommendation Concerning a Resolution for a Public Boat Ramp on Perdido Bay - Keith Wilkins, Community & Environment Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning a Resolution authorizing Escambia County to apply for and accept certain Grant awards made by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a Public Boat Ramp on Perdido Bay:

A. Adopt the Resolution Authorizing Escambia County to Apply For and Accept Certain Grant Awards Made by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a Public Boat Ramp on Perdido Bay; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution.

BACKGROUND:

On March 6, 2014, the Board approved applying for a Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP) Grant up to $150,000, with a 25% match not-to-exceed $50,000, to the FWC for the design, engineering, and permitting of a new public boat ramp on Perdido Bay, located in the 10800 Block of Lillian Highway. Since that time, the following verbiage in the application has been brought to our attention: “Applications must include documentation authorizing the Project Manager to apply for and administer the grant on behalf of the applicant. Acceptable documentation includes, but is not limited to, adopted resolutions by the Governing Body, ordinances, charters, by-laws, and adopted rules or policies. Approved motions, or consent agenda items, will not be accepted.” As a result, a formal Resolution must be adopted in order for the application process to move forward.
