RESOLUTION 2010-20
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF FORT WALTON BEACH,
FLORIDA, PARTNERING WITH THE BAY AREA RESOURCE
COUNCIL FOR THE GRASSES IN CLASSES PROJECT;
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A LETTER OF SUPPORT;
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL
NECESSARY GRANT DOCUMENTS; AUTHORIZING THE
ENGINEERING & UTILITY SERVICES DIRECTOR TO OVERSEE
THE PROJECT; AND SETTING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA AS FOLLOWS:
The Bay Area Resource Council (BARC), through the National Fish and
Wildlife Foundation, received a Grasses in Classes grant to support hands-on
environmental education. The City has been selected to partner with BARC by
providing in-kind and financial support for the initiative, which also meets the
environmental public outreach requirement of the City’s National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit through the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The City will provide in-kind services in the
amount of $2,300 for greenhouse and sidewalk construction and education
lessons, as well as a $1,200 cash contribution for the greenhouse foundation and
sidewalk. No budget amendment is necessary, as the match contribution will be
funded through the Water Quality Initiative in the Stormwater Utility Fund. The
City Council finds that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Fort Walton Beach
to participate in the Grasses in Classes Program.
Therefore, the City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor to execute a
letter of support; the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to
complete grant-related purchases; and the Engineering & Utility Services Director
to implement, supervise, and manage the initiative pursuant to City purchasing
policies and procedures and Florida law.
This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon approval by the City Council.
