METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Transportation (DOT) states this bill would require it and the Fish and Game Department (F&G) to make necessary repairs to the Hilton Park boat ramp and states while the DOT Turnpikes Division owns the Hilton Park property, per the current memorandum of understanding (MOU), F&G is responsible for maintaining the boat ramp. Therefore, DOT assumes any cost for boat ramp repairs or improvements would be by F&G. Costs to make the required repairs, as well as source of funding, are not known at this time as F&G states it does not have complete information available to make an estimate. Furthermore, F&G states construction completion by the bill’s deadline of January 1, 2025, is not feasible.
It is assumed any fiscal impact would occur after FY 2023.
