EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a Resolution supporting the County's applications to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)for Long Range Budget Plan Requests for Beach Renourishment Projects for Fiscal Year 2015/2016. This action maintains the County's eligibility for State Cost Share Funding for future renourishment projects. OBJECTIVE: To approve a Resolution supporting the County's applications to the FDEP for Long Range budget Plan Requests for Fiscal Year 2015/2016. CONSIDERATIONS: The Natural Resources Department continues to seek funding from FDEP to augment existing tourist taxes that have been budgeted for these projects. These requests, if approved by FDEP, will provide partial funding for Collier County projects consisting of (1) Collier County Beach Renourishment which includes the Naples Beaches, Vanderbilt Beach and Park Shore Beach; and(2)The South Marco Beach Renourishment Project and monitoring costs. A brief description of the projects is as follows: 1. The Collier County Beach Renourishment Projects (Naples Beaches,Vanderbilt Beach and Park Shore Beach) —This project will request state funding to replenish sand and restore the beach erosion conditions throughout the various beach shoreline areas including the FDEP required physical and biological monitoring. 2. South Marco Beach Renourishment Projects required to repair beach erosion and provide for monitoring. 3. This cost share funding request consolidates anticipated renourishment over a three (3) year period for the Vanderbilt, Park Shore and Naples beaches as suggested by FDEP to maximize project point scoring for funding. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this Resolution is required as a condition of submittal to request long range State funding to renourish Collier County beaches and Inlet Monitoring. Tourist Development Tax funds are currently available and budgeted in Beach Renourishment Fund 195 to accomplish this work. State approval will lead to future state cost share participation on these projects through FDEP grant agreement and contract.
