(McCain) (Req of Mayor) Public Hearing Pursuant to Chapt 166, F.S. & CR 3.601 – 4/12/11   From the Research Dept   Background: The Florida Inland Navigation District consists of Florida counties on the Atlantic Coast and the InterCoastal Waterway; a portion of the counties’ ad valorem taxes are put into FIND. The counties, in turn, are able to apply to FIND for funds for waterways projects. All FIND grants require a minimum 50% applicant match, with some dredging projects requiring a larger applicant match. When applying, FIND requires the applicant counties to acknowledge their willingness to meet match-fund obligations. FIND is predisposed to funding projects that enhance public access to waterways such as dock facilities, ramps and launches. The Jacksonville Waterways Commission has a sub-committee that reviews waterways projects that merit FIND funding as a grant source. The committee prioritizes the projects and apprises the Administration of its recommendations. The two projects in this application are: Trout River Bridge South (construction), $410,000, of which the City match is $410,000; Ortega River Mooring Field and channel markers (design), $100,000, with the City match at $100,000.

Other items include cameras, microscopes and furniture.   Policy Impact Area: Tangible personal property write-off   Fiscal Impact: The bill authorizes the write-off of $40,478.16 in net book value from the City’s balance sheet.
