Agenda 07/08/2025 Item #16F 9 (Budget Amendment within Pelican Bay Irrigation & Landscape Capital Fund (3041) from Pelican Bay - Lake Bank Enhancements/Swale Restoration Project (51026) to PB Drainage/Pipe Maintenance (50307))7/8/2025
Item # 16.F.9
ID# 2025-2235
Executive Summary
Recommendation to authorize Budget Amendment in the amount of $206,000 within Pelican Bay Irrigation & Landscape
Capital Fund (3041) from Pelican Bay - Lake Bank Enhancements/Swale Restoration Project (51026) to PB
Drainage/Pipe Maintenance (50307) to support current priority needs.
OBJECTIVE: To reprioritize funding for current priority projects within the Pelican Bay Irrigation & Landscape
Capital Project Fund (3041).
CONSIDERATIONS: The Pelican Bay Services Division Municipal Services Taxing & Benefit Unit was formed for
the purposes of providing street lighting, water management, beach renourishment, ambient noise management,
extraordinary law enforcement service and beautification, including but not limited to beautification of recreation
facilities, sidewalk, street and median areas, identification markers, the maintenance of conservation or preserve areas
including the restoration of the mangrove forest preserve and to finance the landscaping beautification of only that
portion of U.S. 41 from Pine Ridge Road to Vanderbilt Beach Road. The Unit is also solely responsible for advising the
County on dredging and maintaining Clam Pass.
In 2019, the County prepared an inventory of the Pelican Bay roadway, public drainage facilities, and easements,
identifying 86,055 linear feet of pipes and culverts throughout the Pelican Bay community. Of this piping,
approximately 51,630 linear feet is owned and maintained by the County, and Pelican Bay owns 34,425 linear feet.
PBSD and other County staff identified 7,696 linear feet of pipe that exists outside the right of way that will be assumed
by PBSD maintenance to avoid conflicts with community property. The portion of the drainage system being transferred
over to PBSD is in fair condition and will be rehabilitated systematically over the coming years. This transfer of
drainage responsibilities provides Pelican Bay with the desired certainty in achieving the level of service expected by
the community and also allows the PBSD to handle the drainage easement encroachments between homes with a higher
level of discretion than the County allows. The transfer of assets was memorialized in current and future budget
documents by reference to Resolution 2019-140.
This item supports the strategic plan by optimizing the useful life of all public infrastructure and resources through
proper planning and preventative maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment in the amount of $206,000.00 is necessary to reallocate funding from
the Pelican Bay - Lake Bank Enhancements/Swale Restoration Project (51026) to PB Drainage/Pipe Maintenance
(50307) within the Pelican Bay Irrigation & Landscape Capital Project Fund (3041).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this Executive
Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues and
requires a majority vote for approval. -JAK
