The project has been successfully completed. BACKGROUND: Continued erosion of Norriego Point has produced large sand shoals immediately offshore of the northwest tip of the Point. Wave and tidal forces have transported a portion of these shoals further to the north into the Destin Harbor (Old Pass Lagoon) entrance channel. Furthermore, the entrance channel appears to experience additional shoaling due to (southerly) sand transport directed underneath the Destin Bridge. This shoaling has greatly reduced the navigable water depths and channel width, causing ship groundings and impassable conditions during low tide, as reported by numerous Destin fishing fleet captains. These hazardous navigation conditions have prompted the City of Destin (City) and Okaloosa County (County) to pursue emergency maintenance dredging to provide safe navigation and reduce the impact to the local fishing and recreational boating economy. (Matt Trammell, Coastal Engineer, Taylor Engineering, February, 2013) On March 19, 2013 the Board of County Commissioners approved the use of up to $180,000.00 in Tourist Development Tax funds for the emergency dredging of the entrance to Destin Harbor. The County provided pre-construction services through Taylor Engineering for this project in the amount of $22,162.00 which was considered a contribution towards the County's share. The City of Destin contributed $20,000 to this project leaving a County financial obligation of $157,838.00. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the final payment to the City of Destin in the amount of $157,838.00 for the emergency dredging of the entrance to Destin Harbor.
