Pelican Bay Services Division (PBSD) is a division of Collier County government committed to providing exceptional municipal services exclusively to Pelican Bay residents. The Division employs a professional manager and operations staff who work closely with the Pelican Bay Foundation and the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association to identify resources to meet the needs of residents. Services provided by PBSD are as follows. STREET LIGHTING For your safety and security, PBSD maintains energy-efficient street lighting service along Pelican Bay roadways. STREETSCAPE BEAUTIFICATION Pelican Bay Services Division provides streetscape beautification services, including landscaping maintenance along Pelican Bay roadways, medians, pathways and parks. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT To ensure healthy waterways, PBSD manages Pelican Bay’s main stormwater drainage system and monitors water quality in Clam Bay. CLAM PASS MAINTENANCE Clam Pass is a small inlet in Collier County that supports tidal flow to the wetland preserve of Clam Bay Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA). The PBSD is responsible for advising the County on dredging and maintaining Clam Pass for the purpose of enhancing the health of the affected mangrove forest and manages such activities for the County. Monitoring of the hydraulic and physical conditions of the Clam Bay system includes continuous water level and tidal data collection at four locations within the bay system. The amount of sand accumulation in the inlet is also monitored regularly. Occasionally, sand builds up in Clam Pass requiring maintenance excavation of the pass. A maintenance excavation and grading event occurred in April and December 2020 and January 2022 to mechanically bypass the sand accumulation at the south side of the inlet and restore the inlet channel to its design template. This helped restore tidal flow. These maintenance excavation and grading events included restoration of the inlet channel and adjacent beaches using mechanical equipment. The excavated sand from the inlet template is used to restore the north inlet bank and adjacent beach along Pelican Bay PELICAN BAY SERVICES DIVISION 101 Pelican Bay Member Guide 2023 PelicanBay.org
