Recommendation Concerning Establishing an Official Name for the New Public Boat Ramp on Perdido River at the 11800 Block of Highway 90 - Keith T. Wilkins, Director, Department of Natural Resources Management
That the Board establish an official name for the new public boat ramp on Perdido River at the 11800 block of Highway 90.
BACKGROUND:
Escambia County purchased the property for construction of a public boat ramp. The County proposed construction of the facility to be funded by Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) program administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). FDEP is requesting an official name of the facility because construction is nearing completion and FDEP is contracting to develop the signage.
Board policy (Section 1, D9) states that proposed names for County-owned facilities, buildings, structures, geographical areas or other property must be submitted by the interested party to the Board of County Commissioners for approval and official designation. While FDEP has requested an official name for the boat ramp, they have not requested any specific name.
