Engineer's Report 11 111 Town of Gulf Stream Dredging Project Report A. Estimated Cost of Dredging (7 canals) Depth Volume Cost 6' MLW 51200 cubic yards $ 369,920 plus $25000 set up fee These costs are estimated on a charge of $8.50 per cubic yard. The $25000 set up fee is for mobilization, demobilization, site preparation & restoration (per report A.V. Strock, Engineer) Note: There are three private canals which cannot be included in assess- ment nor bond issue, nor contract the Town will award. It can be negoiated at same time the town lets their contract by the private canal owners B. Estimated Time Once dredging contract has been awarded it will take approx ten(10) weeks to complete project. Method of Assessing Cost A. Common cost of set up fee ($25000) to be equally divided between each canal to be dredged. If seven canals are dredged cost per canal would be $3572.00 per canal. The per canal cost would then be equally divided by the number of lots which have seawalls abutting the canal. This cost would be added to the dredging cost. B. Dredging Cost Each canal has a different amount of silt to be removed. The volume can be measured. Cost of dredging a canal can be assessed in any method the commission prescribes. Examples: (1) Method A Cost to be assessed on a front foot basis of property bounding or abutting upon the improvement (See Schedule 1) (2) Method B Cost be assessed as follows 308 of cost of each canal be equally divided between each lot owner on canal, 708 of cost of each canal be assessed on a front foot basis as described in #1 above (See Schedule 2) 3) Method C Any other method the commission prescribes. C. Attached Table shows cost per canal (Schedule 3) D. Engineer Costs 1. Cost of project Engineer, Arthur Strock & Associates, paid for by Town. Approx cost $25,000. Miscellaneous Remarks A. The Town owns approx. 845 running feet of seawall on Canal "A "(A private canal). Based on AVS ( Strock) 1100 cubic feet of silt are to be removed. The Town's cost would be $4802 plus a portion of set up fee. 1100 x $8.50 = $5.68 X 845 = $4802 plus set up charge 1645(Ft) Plus set up charge Page 2 B. If the three private canals wish to be dredged the common set up cost of $25000 should be shared with them. C. Note a few lots only have 25 or less feet on canal which should be taken into consideration when choosing the method of assessment. These canals are at the mouth of the canal. (Normally there is shoaling at the mouth due to a build up of silt as it enters canal) IV. Assessment Procedure Steps (Covered by Chapter 170 of the Florida Statutes & Letter of Town Attorney dated 12/9/82). (Letter Attached) A. Once a Method of assessment is established & a dredging permit is let & conditionally accepted, The Town commission must follow the procedure as set forth below- 1. Pass a resolution setting forth a.

For your information, I am attaching to this letter a copy of Chapter 170 of the Florida Statutes which sets forth in detail the legal procedures involved in regard to the improvements con- templated. Also, I am attaching a section of the Town Charter relating to this matter. As you will note it is necessary that the Town first Rase a rpsoll- tion setting forth the nature of the proposed improvement, des - .cribing the property 'Co De improved, ine portion of e expense which is to be paid by special assessment, the manner in which the assessment shall be made, when the assessments are to be paid and ' what part of the assessment shall be paid by the municipality. "Me resolution shall state the total estimated cost of the project. At the time of the adoption of the resolution there shall be on file with the Clerk an assessment plat showing the area to be assessed, with plans and specifications, and an estimate of the ,cost of the proposed improvement.VaThe resolution shall be pub- lished once a week for a period of two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the community. Upon the adoption of the resolution the Town shall cause an assessment roll to be made and upon completion of the assessment roll the Town shall, by resolu- tion fix a time and place at which affected property owners may appear and be heard as to the propriety and the cost of the improve- ments. Ten days notice shall be given of this hearing to the affected property owners and the time and place of the hearings shall be published twice with the last publication to be at least one week prior to the date of the hearing. .OHNSTON, SA_�ER, RANDOLPH & WEAVER AI7CINNCVC •..

The special assessments shall there- after be payable at the time and in the manner stipulated in the resolution and, if not paid, shall remain liens against the pro- perty which may be foreclosed in the manner provided by law.

FLORIDA COMMISSIONERS William F. Koch, Jr. Mayor Joel Hunter, Vice Mayor Alan 1 Armour Robert J. Diann Brian Rleilier August 16, 1983 To: The Taxpayers of Gulf Stream The Toan Commission of Gulf Stream has requested that a report be written concerning the 1983 -84 Budget and the action taken at the Budget Meetings of July 18th and 21st, 1983, respectively. MAIL ADDRESS 246 SEA ROAD GULF STREAM, FLORIDA ]7444 TEL GULF STREAM 2165116 Town Manager WILLIAM E. GWYNN Deputy Town Clerk BARBARA GWYNN Chief of Police JAMES GREER The Department Heads, along with recomlendations from several Commissioners, presented a proposed budget of $1,121,000.00, which would have required an increase in Town taxes of approximately 1278 over the 1982 taxes. The majority of the Commission felt this was excessive, therefore, during the July 18th hearing, the Commissioners reduced the proposed budget by $284,400.00. This was achieved by reducing some of the proposed capital improvements expenditures, such as reworking the water main connections on A -1 -A at the north end of the system with Boynton Beach, and on the south end with Delray Beach. Also, we deleted from the capital projects section several improvements to the "Phipps" property, recently purchased by the Town. We vetoed the proposal to purchase a police boat and to add an extra policeman to patrol the waterway on the weekends. The Countission also denied a motion to include a 208 pay in- crease for the Police Department. Some of these worthwhile capital im- provements will be included in the bond issue which will be voted on this winter. On July 21, 1983, we held our second meeting, and further reduced the proposed budget by an additional $ 103,000.00. This was partially achieved by reducing capital expenditures for consulting engineering fees and re- ducing all employee salary increases from a proposed 108 to 88. Even with the 88 increase, our patrolman's starting salary will be above the present county mean average of $19,651 per police salary survey 1983, ( see en- closed fact sheet ). The tentative budget now stands at $733,310.00, which would require a tax millage of 5.4076. This would be an increase of 25.98 over last year's millage. To: The Taxpayers of Gulf Stream August 16, 1983 Page -2- For your information, please note the couparison of our pre!;ent administrative salaries with Manalapan and Ocean Ridge, carmunities that I feel are similar to Gulf Stream in area and population. Administrative Salaries 1983 Gulf Stream $39,110 Manalapan $92,180 Ocean Ridge $62,214 Both of these meetings were well attended by the public and their ocnments and suggestions were a big help to the Cannission in dealing with this issue. By now, you should have received a notice from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's office advising you of the tentative millage rate and the dates and place of the first public hearing on this budget. This meeting will be held Thursday, September 8, 1983, at 5:01 P.M., at the Town Hall, 246 Sea Road, Gulf Stream, Florida. We urge you to attend. I personally feel that we can further cut the budget at that time and still maintain the high quality of service that we have had in the past. Enclosed is a copy of the proposed budget for the year 1983 -84, as copared with the 1982 -83 budget. Also enclosed is a fact sheet that relates to certain items for the budget. Should you have any questions, please call the Town Hall. The number is 276 -5116.
