A. PORT, INLET & BEACHES
1. FDEP Grant Agreement 23SL1 - Hurricanes Ian and Nicole Recovery Project
Joshua Revord, Port, Inlet & Beaches Director, presented this item to the Board. The
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has granted the County a
$250,000 grant for the post impacts of the passing Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. The funds
are identified for beach recovery, and those funds are distributed based on the state's
Hurricane Recovery Plan for Florida's Beach and Dune System. The funding does not
require a local match and will benefit the South Beach Community. The funding can also be
used in the interim while waiting for the Federal Government to make a decision if the
County conforms to its standards for Flood Control and Coastal Emergency Funding that
Congress approved as part of the supplemental funds estimated at $2 million.
Mr. Revord also updated the Board and advised the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has yet
to confirm in writing that the County CSRM project qualifies for 100% federal beach
rehabilitation. Once the approval is received staff will move forward with planning and
design to construct new structures at Fort Pierce Beach.
Staff recommended Board approval of the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) Project Agreement 23SL1, along with a supporting budget resolution (to
be prepared separately by OMB), and authorization for the Chair to sign documents as
approved by the County Attorney.
