BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: Grant applications are normally brought before the Commission to authorize staff to submit the application and authorize the Chairman to sign any related documents. However, there were special circumstances with this grant as Fish & Wildlife Services (FWS) approached Baldwin County staff with this Coastal Program grant funding opportunity to renovate the Morgantown Boardwalk for the purpose of preserving beach mouse habitat by keeping citizens off of the dunes. The grant application documents required the Chairman’s signatures for submission before the July 5, 2019 deadline.
This project is 100% federal funding in the amount of $15,875.00 for a contractor to provide materials and renovate the boardwalk. No Baldwin County funding is included in the proposal. The application is merely a proposal. If the application is approved, FWS will notify the County and the Commission will have the option to accept the funding or not.
