BACKGROUND
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Local Government Funding Request (LGFR) Grant Program assists eligible governmental entities for beach erosion control activities. FDEP LGFR Grant No. 19IR31 was awarded to the County as a cost share grant for feasibility, design and construction costs for the Sector 5 Beach and Dune Restoration Project (Project) which completed construction in March of 2020. On September 26, 2019 the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved the Agreement for FDEP LGFR Grant No. 19IR3 for up to $821,833 in cost share. On April 21, 2020 the BOCC approved Amendment No. 1 which increased the cost share funds to $1,748,751. On January 9, 2024 the BOCC approved Amendment No. 2 which maintained the same funding total but extended the Task End Dates. The County continues to work with the FDEP and FEMA on submitting reimbursements for costs associated with the Project. Grant No. 19IR3 Amendment No. 2 expires on June 30, 2025. The attached Amendment No. 3 maintains the same funding levels but extends the Task Deliverable Due Dates through to December 31, 2025, with the amended grant agreement reflecting a six (6) month extension.
