Board approves resolution for state grant to improve Newport boat ramp; transcript shows inconsistent dollar figures
Summary
County staff said a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission agreement (No. 25045) was before the board for improvements to Newport Boat Ramp and the board approved the resolution and budget amendment; the record contains conflicting numbers that staff did not reconcile on the dais.
Staff asked the board to accept and award agreement number 25045 with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for improvements at Newport Boat Ramp and to approve a resolution and related budget amendment.
On the record staff described the agreement in two conflicting ways. In one place staff read the grant amount as "$4,040,442" in state grant funds for improvements to Newport Boat Ramp. Immediately afterward staff stated "The agreement will provide $40,442 to fund the design of a new concrete boat ramp and a new floating dock," and noted a 5 percent cost match of $2,128 to be paid from the boater improvement fund. The board approved the resolution and budget amendment as presented; the staff did not clarify the numeric discrepancy on the record.
The board's approval allows staff to proceed with the contract and budgeting steps associated with the grant agreement; county staff will follow up on match requirements.
