Boat Ramp Overview
• The Parks and Natural Resources Department operates
  and maintains eight public boat ramp facilities.
• Parks and Natural Resources Dept. works in conjunction

  tables with running water, where feasible.
• Full scale renovations allow us to keep ahead of
  closures being dictated by unexpected structural
  failures.

Planned Projects
Fort Hamer
Closing first quarter of 2017

• Existing issues: Launch ramp is short and steep and is steel cabled design; more
  docking capacity is needed.

• Current Status: Parks and Natural Resources worked with the Property
  Management Department on the design and permit process for the
  replacement of the wooden docks and launch ramp. Renovation will begin in
  early 2017 and will take 10 weeks to complete.

Coquina North
Estimated Project Start – February 2017

• Current issues: The existing ramp is very short and steep which severely limits
  the size of the vessel which can be launched. Docks and seawall must be
  replaced.

• Current Status: Parks and Natural Resources worked with the Property
  Management Department on the permitting and design process for the
  complete renovation and expansion of the facility which will include expanded
  launch lanes, new seawalls and expanded docks including a floating dock. There
  is existing room to significantly increase boater launch access to Sarasota Bay
  from this facility.

• Parking lot expansion will add 28 designated trailer parking spaces.

• Current issues: Wooden docks must be constantly maintained as they can
  subjected to heavy commercial uses which can cause significant damage.
• Wooden decking and stringer supports were re-done in 2014.
• Current Status: Parks and Natural Resources worked with Property Management
  on the design and permit process for expansion and resurfacing of the parking
  lot.
• Parking lot expansion toward the north will add 48 designated trailer parking
  spaces. Additional expansion involves addition of parking to the south and could
  include doubling of launch lanes from 2 to 4.
Kingfish
Kingfish
Estimated Project Start – To be coordinated with FDOT replacement of the
Manatee Bridge (currently beyond 5 years)

• Current issues: Cable system launch ramp is the same age as the ramp previously in
  place at Warner’s Bayou.

• Wooden decking and stringer supports were re-done in 2014.

• Current Status: Existing design calls for launch ramp capacity to be expanded from 3
  to 4 lanes. Realignment of bridge allows for expansion of parking on eastern side of
  the site.

Summary
Pay As We Go Scenario

 • Projects occur over longer time frame(10 years) due
   to lack of match instead of 5yr plan presented 2015
 • Coquina South improvements delayed 5 additional
   years
 • No debt incurred
Disparity in Percent of Matching Funds Over Time

    - Increasing Disparity Between Availability of WCIND $ and FBIP $ Over Time
    - Loss of 50/50 Matching Leverage Ability Over Time
    - Value of County Owned Land can be used for Match
    - Kingfish is not County Owned; Land not Available for Match
Summary
Limited Borrowing Scenario

•   Project implementation returned to five planning horizon
•   Coquina South improvements accelerated 5 years to 2021
•   Borrowing an estimated $785,000 in FY2022 to close gap in
    matching funds
•   Limited confidence in cost estimating for projects five years
    out.
•   Potential source of match
    • 1/2cent infrastructure sales tax
    • Parks Impact Fees
    • General Fund
Other funding: ½ Cent Sales Tax Referendum Projects

• Restroom Construction SR 64 Boat Ramp
• Restroom Construction Kingfish Boat Ramp
