Mayor: break wall construction to start in October; $1 million shortfall could shorten project
Summary
Mayor Semaan told the DDA the break wall project is about $1 million short of full funding but construction is scheduled to begin in October; without the remaining funds, the project would be shortened by 150 feet rather than delayed.
Mayor Semaan updated the Downtown Development Authority on the status of the break wall funding and schedule.
The minutes record: "one million dollars away from the Break wall being fully funded. Construction to start this October. If we do not get one million dollars, we would shorten the break wall by 150 feet. Either way the project is starting." The statement was recorded under the mayoral update. The mayor's remarks indicate the city plans to proceed with a construction start in October and has described an alternate, shorter-line scope if the remaining funds are not secured.
The minutes do not provide a funding source breakdown for the remaining $1 million; the board did not record further action or a motion tied to this update at the meeting.
