RESOLUTION NO. 30-16 BEACH RENOURISHMENT PROJECT
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion for City Commission to approve Resolution No. 30-16 in support of the Delray Beach Renourishment Project.
Body
Background:
The local cost share of the Delray Beach Renourishment project is provided by Palm Beach County pursuant to an interlocal agreement dated July 10, 2013. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) is undergoing its annual update of the Florida Beach Management Program Long-Range Budget Plan and developing a prioritized list of State Beach Erosion Control Projects. The culmination of this process is the preparation and submittal of the Department’s Fixed Capital Outlay, containing Local Government Funding requests to establish State funding priorities for FY 2017/2018.
FDEP requires a resolution of support and acknowledgment of funding commitment for the local share. The attached resolution meets this requirement.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Finance Department Review:
Finance Department concurs with this request.
Timing of Request:
This is a time sensitive item. Program administrators for the Beach Management Funding Assistance Program are developing the annual prioritized list of beach and inlet management projects for inclusion in the Department’s FY 2017/2018 Local Government Funding Request (LGFR). As part of the LGFR for FY 2017/2018, a local sponsor resolution is required from the local sponsor’s governing board.
