Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

The St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners is considering accepting a grant from the Florida Department of Children and Families. This grant, valued at $13,900.00, is intended to fund a Rip Current Simulator Training Initiative. The funds will be used to provide swim equipment and training related to rip currents for Parks and Recreation Aquatic staff and county residents. The item is currently under review by the Board, with staff recommending approval. If approved, the project would involve the procurement of specialized swim equipment and the delivery of training programs. This could create opportunities for suppliers of aquatic safety equipment and providers of specialized training services. Early engagement with county staff before final plans and procurement are settled may offer an advantage.
