Several camping facilities in Brevard, Palm Beach and Broward counties were contacted and/or visited. In most cases, these campgrounds had addressed the issues we were considering. Staff also compared the rates and policies of other camping facilities in St. Lucie and Martin counties. After compiling this information, staff is recommending consolidating county resident and nonresident fees, increase some of the camping fees and amend the policy for length of a stay. The goal is to insure that the Savannas is perceived as a recreational camping facility, available to tourists and others who come to enjoy the surroundings and a camping experience. The Recreation Advisory Board reviewed and approved these recommendations on February 21,2007. FUNDS AVAILABLE: No funds are involved in the request.

Approval of Amendment 1 to Work Authorization #3 with Dredging and Marine Consultants for Phase 3 Shoreline stabilization, Permitting Fees. BACKGROUND: Taylor CreeklC25 Dredging Restoration Project involves the dredging of Taylor Creek from the C-25 spillway and Ft. Pierce Farms Canal No 1 to the Indian River Lagoon Intra-coastal Waterway. The project will involve the removal of approximately 210,000 cubic yards of muck sediments to restore Taylor Creek to original design depth or hard sand bottom. The accumulation of sediments over the past 40 years represents a threat to the health of the seagrasses in the Indian River Lagoon Estuary. Once the sediments are removed, Taylor Creek will function as a silt trap to accumulate silt before it is discharged to the Indian River Lagoon. In addition, the navigation channel will be restored to its full depth to benefit the public. In April, 2003, the County submitted permit applications for the entire Taylor Creek Dredging Project. In August, 2003 a decision was made to subdivide the Project into 3 Phases for purposes of permitting and construction. This decision was based upon the complexity of permitting issues and the need to expend grant funds in a timely manner. Currently, Phase 1 of the dredging has been completed. Approximately 100,000 cubic yards of muck sediments have been dredged from the navigation channel, east of the Railroad Bridge. Public Works Staff Ï!¡ ready to proceed with Permitting of Phase 3 of the Project, to allow construction to proceed in :):007. The attached Work Authorization No.3 with Dredging and Marine Consultants outlines the work that is necessary to obtain permit approvals for Phase 3, and to prepare plans and specifications for bidding purposes. The attached Amendment #1 covers the cost of permitting application fees for Phase 3. Improvements that are proposed in Phase 3 include: Stabilization of the shoreline and the banks of Taylor Creek at selected locations. Limits of the Project are between the spillway structure and the US Highway 1 Bridge. Several Agencies are partnering with St. Lucie County to accomplish the restoration of Taylor Creek, including South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD), Florida Ports Council, (FSTED), and Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND).

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Small Community Air Service Development Program is to assist small communities with improving or establishing air service. The study being proposed for grant funding will look at how residents and businesses in St. Lucie County are traveling and to what desitinations. Other information will be examined such as: (1) the originating airports being used by local air travelers; (2) an estimate of total airline passengers in the catchment area; (3) airlines used by local air travelers; and (5) average airfares by origin/destination airports currently being used by County residents and businesses. Local organizations and select new technical businesses have expressed serious interest in having local commercial air service. The information from this study could provide some background for future discussions expected during an Airport Master Plan Update for the St. Lucie County International Airport planned for late 2008, In addition, the growth of the county, both in terms of population and in terms of new technically-oriented businesses attracting world-wide interest and visitors indicates that it may be prudent to explore the feasibility of commercial air service. .

Angle Road also includes an industrial area, with heavy in and out truck traffic. With both Fort Pierce Westwood High School and Woodlands Academy located near the intersection of Angle Road and Panther Lane, Angle Road has intense bicycle and pedestrian traffic. In addition, swales or canals adjacent to the roadway add to the difficulty of pedestrian travel. Pedestrian and bicyclist accidents have been documented along the project area.
