Agenda 04/08/2025 Item #16L2 (BA to reallocate funds within Halderman Creek MSTU in support of a Bathymetric Survey)4/8/2025
Item # 16.L.2
ID# 2025-1145
Executive Summary
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners authorize a Budget Amendment of $34,859 to reallocate
funds within Halderman Creek MSTU Fund (1631) in support of a Bathymetric Survey.
OBJECTIVE: To approve the Budget Amendment for the Bathymetric Survey in support of a future dredge project if
the analysis warrants the necessary dredge or spot dredge in certain areas.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Haldeman Creek Maintenance Dredging MSTU was created pursuant to Ordinance 2006-
60. The last dredge project was conducted in 2006. On December 19, 2024, the Haldeman Creek Advisory Committee
voted unanimously to approve the expenditure of funds for a Bathymetric Survey. A Bathymetric Survey is a type of
hydrographic survey that maps the depths and shapes of underwater terrain, creating a detailed "map" of the seabed.
Three major hurricanes have impacted the creek since the last survey was completed in 2019. The Advisory Board has
requested a comparative analysis of changes to the creek from the original dredge in 2006 to the surveys that were
conducted in 2007, 2019, and the one proposed today. Humiston & Moore Engineering, a firm that conducted the last
several surveys, has provided a proposal just under $45,000. This budget amendment will add the necessary balance of
funds to complete the survey. The survey will take several months to complete.
Provide quality public amenities and recreational opportunities
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of the Bathymetric Survey is $40,859 and a Budget Amendment is required in the
amount of $34,859 to reallocate funding from reserves within Haldeman Creek MSTU (1631) to Haldeman Creek cost
center 162547.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board
approval. -HFAC
