Explanation:
In FY 2025, the Police Department applied for and was awarded a $50,000.00 Florida Inland Navigation District Grant. The grant will fund a portion of the installation of boat lift jet docks. The total project cost is $100,000.00.
The boat lift jet dock project will store patrol boats out of the water at the Hollywood Marina. The jet docks will add to the vessel's lifespan, decrease patrol response time, and support environmental sustainability.
Fiscal Impact:
The grant requires a match of $50,000, which the Police Department has allocated in the FY 2026 adopted operating budget.
