BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: 22 February 2001
Division: Growth Management
Bulk Item: Yes X No
Department: Marine Resources
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of the expenditure of approximately $7,250 of Boating Improvement Funds (BIF) to
assist in the completion of the Socioeconomic Study underway between NOAA, Palm Beach,
Broward, Dade, and Monroe Counties to study boater use of natural and artificial reefs.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The County signed ajoint agreement between Broward County (as the lead agency), NOAA, and
Dade and Palm Beach Counties to complete a statistical assessment of the boater use of natural
and artificial reefs within the four County area. Surveys are carried out in each of the Counties
using a combination of paid and volunteer (Bicentennial Volunteers) surveyors doing both boater
specific and general population surveys. Surveys for the summer were completed in July of
2000. Surveys for the winter are being carried out starting at the end of February through April.
All sites during the summer survey (4) were provided to Monroe County at no cost. However, it
has turned out that we will have to pay for these sites during the coming winter survey period as
RV campsites are at a premium during this time.
Original obligations committed the County for up to $10,000 of in-kind service. However, BIF
funds are available and can be used for this project.
