Agenda for Today Objective of this Effort County Erosion Control Program The Case for Shoreline Management Estimated Project Costs Over 30 Years Developing the Financial Foundation for Success Discussion

II. Objective of this Effort

Our Objective Develop a Stable, Long-Term Financial Foundation to Support the Charlotte County Erosion Control Program Manasota Key Beach Nourishment Stump Pass Management & Maintenance Don Pedro-Knight Island Beach Nourishment Engage the Community Develop a Recommendation to the County Compete our Work by April 30, 2017

PARC Beach Funding Philosophy The beach is an economic and community asset Erosion can adversely affect public and private property and damage the economy Beach communities should work together to address erosion as best they can Funding streams must be as persistent as the waves

PARC Funding Assistance & Plans Successful Funding Plans Navarre Beach, Florida City of Destin, Florida Okaloosa Island, Florida Oak Island, North Carolina, Topsail Beach, North Carolina North Topsail Beach, North Carolina Surf City, North Carolina Bald Head Island, North Carolina North Carolina Beach & Inlet Management Plan City of South Padre Island, Texas Port Mansfield, Texas Willacy County, Texas No Two Funding Plans Are Alike

Secret #1: “Discover” What is Fair Within the Community -- The funding plan must be “fair and equitable” in the eyes of most in the community Funding Process -- must be transparent, have wide participation, and be flexible in exploring options To Adopt a Funding Plan -- Community support must precede local government action

Secret #2: Recognize Each Community is Unique There is No One Size Fits All Answers We’re all in this together: Everyone has a stake in the health of the beach & shoreline Community History Matters: Charlotte County has established an MSTU and MSBU for Stump Pass & Don Pedro/Knight Island

Secret #3: Plan Ahead & Save Time is money Build Beach Fund over time Start saving early – Your Project is 2-3 years away Minimize Debt Financing to save money Maximize State Contribution Use MSBU and MSTU Mechanisms for Local Funds Beach Management is an on-going task and on-going cost. Savings plan must be too.

Secret #4: Avoid the Perfection Trap Funding Strategies can become complex And discussions and debate can continue for months and years, losing precious time Best Rule: Avoid the perfection trap, find a reasonable funding solution that works for you and move forward to implement your beach program

Secret #5: Build Funding Coalitions State of Florida Public Charlotte County Public Beachfront Property Owners Private Off-Beach Property Owners Private Visitors Private Bed Tax Revenues (via County) Parking Fees Beach Badges Other Sources???

Secret #6: Secure “FEMA Eligibility” Purpose Protect the Community’s Investment in the Beach Ensure Project is Eligible for Federal Reimbursement if Sand is lost in a Hurricane FEMA Beach Reimbursement Requirements Monitor - Annual Beach Profiles Maintain - Annual Maintenance & Regular Renourishment Fund - Establish Long-term Funding Program

Secret #7: Increase and Dedicate the Revenue to a Beach Fund Set aside a Dedicated Fund Use Fund for Specified Purposes Only Design & Permitting Construction Beach Monitoring Operation & Maintenance No funds for beach cleanup, lifeguards, beach patrol, or other beach related costs

III. County Erosion Control Program

County Shoreline Program An Comprehensive Effort to Manage and Maintain the County’s Beach and Shoreline Assets Three Components: Manasota Key Beach Nourishment Program Stump Pass Management & Maintenance Don Pedro – Knight Island Beach Nourishment

Stump Pass Project Dredging Terminal Groin (North side of Pass) Four Year Dredging Cycle Remove About 200,000 cubic yards per cycle Place sand north & south of the Pass Beginning 2017-18 Terminal Groin (North side of Pass) One-time Project Cost

Don Pedro-Knight Island Project South Beach Fill Nourishment every 8 years About 260,000 cubic yards of Sand Off-shore Sand Source Integrated with and Part of the Manasota Key Beach Renourishment Program South Beach Fill Sand Volume under Development Adds to Stump Pass Sand Placement Volume Eligible for State Cost Share

Manasota Key Project Initial Beach Nourishment Beach Renourishment Place 570,000 cubic yards of Sand One-Time Hardbottom Mitigation Design & Permitting Monitoring Operation and Maintenance Beach Renourishment Every 8 years About 428,000 cubic yards of Sand Eligible for State Cost Share

IV. The Case for Shoreline Management

There’s Nothing Like a Beach Public Benefits Community “park” Protects Public Infrastructure Foundation of the tourism economy Drives real estate market Expands the tax base Increases public revenue Private Benefits Protects Private Homes Increases property values Increases rental income Enhances recreation experience Provides “spiritual” benefits Great place for young and old to play and enjoy A Public Asset A Private Asset PARC

Dual Benefits of the Beach Successful Funding Strategies must reflect the Public and Private nature of beaches Beach Funding Plans Run into Trouble when: “Public benefits” of the beach are emphasized without recognizing the private benefits or “Private benefits” are emphasized without regard to public benefits Successful funding plans must recognize and reflect that everyone has a stake in wide, healthy, stable beaches – public and private sector

Beaches & The Economy Healthy Well-Managed Beaches, Shorelines and Passes Contribute to a Healthy Economy Stable Beaches Mean a More Stable Economy Financial Stability is a Must for Shoreline Stability Thirty Year Funding Plan Stable Revenues FEMA Beach Eligibility

Secret #5: Build Funding Coalitions State of Florida Public Charlotte County Public Beachfront Property Owners Private Off-Beach Property Owners Private Visitors Private Bed Tax Revenues (via County) Parking Fees Beach Badges Other Sources???

No Federal Funding Available Irregularly authorized through the Water Resources Development Act or WRDA Federal Beach Projects Require Congress to Act Reconnaissance Phase Feasibility Study Phase Congressional Project Authorization Congressional Appropriation Bottom Line: 2012, the USACE Reviewed and Rejected Federal Shore Protection Funds for Manasota Key

V. Estimated Project Costs over 30 Years

30 Year Stump Pass Management Cost Costs are Conceptual Estimates and are under Refinement

30 Year Stump Pass Management Cost

30 Year Manasota Key Project Cost Costs are Conceptual Estimates and are under Refinement

30 Year Manasota Key Project Cost

30 Year Don Pedro-Knight Project Cost Costs are Conceptual Estimates and are under Refinement

30 Year Don Pedro Knight Project Cost

The Overall Picture

Conceptual Annual New Revenue Needed State of Florida Annual Funds (39%) $2.12 Million Estimated Annual Local Funds (61%) $3.31Million Current Annual Beach Fund Revenues $1.25 Million Potential Shortfall $2.06 Million Revenues are Conceptual Estimates and will Change. Project costs are not uniform year to year.

VI. Developing the Financial Foundation for Success

Secret #5: Build Funding Coalitions State of Florida Public Charlotte County Public Beachfront Property Owners Private Off-Beach Property Owners Private Visitors Private Bed Tax Revenues (via County) Parking Fees Beach Badges Other Sources???

Other Funding Sources Under Investigation Parking Fees Bridge Tolls Beach Badges Telecom Taxes Bed Taxes Sales Taxes We will Report Back at the January Workshop on the viability of these other potential revenue sources.

MSBU Funding Model Concept Would Apply to New Manasota Key MSBU Revised Don Pedro- Knight Island MSBU All Island Properties would be included Beachfront Assessment Factors Length of Beach Lot Size Number of Dwelling Units on a Parcel Off Beach Parcels Contribute A Pro Rata Share

Sample MSBU – Okaloosa Island

Okaloosa MSBU Example Name AQUA VILLA AZURE BELLA RIVA BLUE DOLPHIN   AQUA VILLA AZURE BELLA RIVA BLUE DOLPHIN BREAKERS BREAKERS PHASE I COQUINA ISLE CONDO WATERSCAPE DESTIN WEST BEACH DUNE POINTE CONDO EL MATADOR

MSBU Funding Model Status Intensive Data Collection Underway Manasota & Don Pedro Knight Island Parcel Data Model Development, Refinement & Testing Verification of State Share Underway Update of Existing County Revenues Underway Investigation of “Other Revenues” Underway MSBU Model is Expected to Evolve First Draft Model will be Presented at January Workshop

But, Every Community is Different and There is More Work to Do Stay tuned, We can do this!
