AGENDA ITEM \VORDING:
Approval to use up to $25,000 of Boating Improvement Funds to assist in a maintenance dredging project on
Tingler Island supported in the City of Marathon Dredging Master Plan. Invoices for the project will be routed
to the County.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The City of Marathon undertook a dredging master plan supporting a number of potential maintenance dredging
projects. One of these projects involves that canals in the Tingler Island area of Sombrero Beach. The Tingler
Island canals have in-filled significantly as a result of the past active stoml seasons. Discussion with the City
some time ago suggested that up to 10% of these projects could be funded using Boating Improvement Funds.
Ten percent was considered reasonable by staff considering BIF availability. It is anticipated that
approximately $16,000 to $17,000 will be necessary at the proposed 10% limit of project funding. This item
was presented to the Monroe County Marine and Port Advisory Committee at the their 2 May 2006 meeting,
The Committee recommended in favor or the project unanimously for up to and not exceed $25,000. Sufficient
BIF funds are available.
