Re: Indian Creek Median Project
Funding
A total of $20,000 was originally budgeted in the City Commission approved 1996-97 North
Beach Quality of Life Program for the Indian Creek Median landscaping project. As the design
for the project has been developed, the project cost has increased. According to the final
estimate for the project, the total construction cost for median one is $64,642. In addition, the
Rosenberg Design Group's design fee for the project is $18,350. Total project cost is now
estimated to be $82,992.
The North Beach Quality of Life Committee has been working on this project for almost two
years. The Committee had. previously approved an increase in the project budget from
$20,000 to $65,700. The additional amount was reprogrammed from other approved projects
as follows:
North Beach Grant Writer - $20,000 orignally budgeted, $10,000 $10,000
reprogrammed to Indian Creek median project
Southeast Normandy Isle Landscaping - $3,000 originally budgeted,
work accomplished without requiring QOL funding, $700 reprogrammed
to Indian Creek median project $700
City planner for North Beach projects - $35,000 originally budgeted,
total amount reprogrammed to Indian Creek median project $35,000
In addition to these reprogrammed amounts, the North Beach Quality of Life Committee has
recommended further reprogramming for this project as follows:

Tree planting at 8iscayne elementary - $3,000 originally budgeted

Total $82,992
As I noted above, NBDC and the North Beach Quality of Life Committee have been working on
this project for nearly two years. The project clearly meets the objective of enhancing tourism
by beautifying one of the most heavily traveled visitor corridors in the City. The project is also
enthusiastically supported by the community.
NBDC requests that this modified project budget be approved by the City Commission so that
work on this long awaited project can begin. Please let me know if you need any additional
information,
