Department:
Marine Resources
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a Resolution committing approximately $1.3 M in Infrastructure Sales Tax monies, originally
slated for the decentralized wastewater project, to offset the costs of the Conch Key and Baypoint wastewater
proj ects.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
At its April Board meeting the BOCC agreed to cease work on the EP A Decentralized Utility project and shift
the County 304 Capital Infrastructure Fund match to assist in offsetting the Cost of the Conch Key and
Baypoint projects. The funds committed to this project were approximately $ 1.3 M.
Construction bids for both the Conch Key and Baypoint wastewater projects have been received by the FKAA.
Projected connection fees, with existing grant commitments and without the $1.3 M, exceed the County's target
connection fee of $2,700 / EDU. Commitment of up to the $1.3 M brings projected connection fees much
closer to the target range. The attached resolution commits the $1.3 M in 304 Funds up to the point of meeting
the target range for wastewater connection fees and allows the FKAA to distribute this commitment between the
two wastewater projects to achieve equity between the projects. The commitment of these funds is essential Jt
this time in order to be able to accept bids and negotiate contracts in good faith for the Conch Key and Baypoint
proj ects
