Board establishes Neal Estates shore erosion control district to fund living‑shoreline work
Summary
The board enacted an ordinance establishing a shore erosion control district to fund a 0.333‑acre headland breakwater for Neal Estates at an estimated cost of $791,713. The plan uses a 20‑year 0% DNR loan repaid by a levy on 118 residential dwellings (annual requested levy $335.47 per residence).
The Board of County Commissioners approved an ordinance establishing a shore erosion control district for Neal Estates to fund construction of a living‑shoreline headland breakwater.
Daniel Russell, capital improvements project manager, read staff and DNR findings and a feasibility report recommending establishment of the district. The total estimated project cost presented in the memo was $791,713, including $768,653 in construction costs and a $23,060 DNR administrative services fee. Staff said the project would be funded through a 20‑year, 0%‑interest DNR loan to the county, with repayment supported by the proposed SECD levy on 118 residential dwellings; NECA (the association) requested an annual levy of $335.47 per assessed residence. The county would serve as local government borrower and fiscal administrator subject to state and county processes.
The board closed the public record and enacted the ordinance by voice vote; staff said no direct general fund repayment cost is anticipated.
