TOWN OF MANALAPAN AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: October 27, 2026 Agenda Item No.: RA. b.ii. Agenda Item Name: Discussion regarding Natural Gas Infrastructure on Point Manalapan BACKGROUND: At the direction of the Town Commission, staff has been working with Florida Public Utilities (FPU) to evaluate the feasibility and cost of extending propane service throughout Point Manalapan. FPU has completed its preliminary cost analysis and estimates the total cost of installing the necessary infrastructure at approximately $2.8 million. This amount represents FPU's actual project costs without any additional profit. Residents who elect to connect to the natural gas system would be responsible for a one- time connection fee of approximately $3,000. FPU is prepared to present the proposed project and associated costs to the Town Commission in December, pending direction from the Commission at today's meeting. Staff is seeking direction from the Town Commission on whether there is sufficient interest in pursuing the project to warrant further consideration. If the Commission wishes to proceed, staff recommends inviting FPU to present its proposal in December and preparing a separate referendum question for the March 2027 ballot, allowing residents to determine whether the Town should borrow approximately $2.8 million to finance the installation of gas infrastructure on Point Manalapan. MOTION: • Direct staff on desired next steps ATTACHMENTS: • None
