Presidents Council Members,
This Update includes: · Federal Beach Project – Critical Update · New Development on Hutchinson Island · Upcoming Meetings Next Presidents Council Member Meeting April 20th (see details below) Federal Beach Project– Alert Construction Easements: Presently, the Corps continues to indicate that for the project to proceed nothing less than 100% participation is acceptable, despite efforts to convince them 99%+/- of the beachfront is more than sufficient. We understand a Corps only, multi-committee meeting to further evaluate the matter is next Tues., April 13th. Please see the attached email & letter to the USACE for additional information and join us in sending your own letter to the Corps. This is in addition to an all-out, multi-prong effort underway by the County as well. Costs: Good news! $4.3M less! The Corps now estimates project costs at $18.5M instead of the prior $22.8M. It is expected most of it will fall to the bottom line, reducing the amount required from the “local share” after adjustments in Federal and State funding. An updated official summary is pending. Funding: Efforts continue concerning county-wide sourced funding. Please see attached email & letter to SLC and if you have not already, please join other PC members with your own letter or e-mail. Project funding may or may not be part of the discussion at the next Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Informal Meeting (9 am also next Tues., April 13th) as part of agenda item “A. St. Lucie County FY 2021 ‐ 2023 Strategic Plan Strategic Initiatives Review”. Public comment is typically only part of “Formal” NOT Informal BOCC Meetings.

Baron Island Storage has begun construction and land has been cleared in the areas of OceanGlass (28 townhomes) across from Atlantis, and Sea Oats (4 townhomes) & Missy’s Beach House (single family) across from Islandia. St. Lucie County’s Land Development Code (LDC) includes a section specific to Hutchinson Island Residential Development (HIRD) to ensure that the unique characteristics of our barrier island are protected. There are several vacant parcels that have caught the interest of developers who are discussing plans that exceed zoning and development codes, such as encroaching on shoreline protection setbacks and wetland buffers, exceeding 35’ building height limit and alcohol sales nearby county parks. As requests for waivers and amendments are submitted for County Commissioner consideration, PC will alert you to dates and details to encourage your support of existing zoning and development codes to protect the environment and residents of SHI. Upcoming Meeting Schedule April 20th at 2:00pm via Zoom (Zoom access info will be emailed prior to the meeting) Guest Speaker – SLC Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky, District 1.

Many of you may have seen the article in yesterday's TC Palm paper that mentioned Mobile Medical Associates (MMA) and their allocations of vaccines from the County Board of Health. We reached out to MMA regarding our efforts to have the vaccination site on SHI. Laurie Grissman McCuen, President of MMA, advised that as the BOH has more vaccines available, there may be additional allocations. Since timing is uncertain, we continue to encourage everyone to seek vaccination appointments from any/all locations available to you. As those of you who attended the meeting this week know, SLC Commissioner Mitchell and SLC Planning & Development Services representatives, Leslie Olson and Kori Benton, provided an informative, interesting and lively discussion. A summary of the meeting will be provided next week. Have a safe and happy weekend, Presidents Council Board of Directors Presidents Council Members,

This update confirms that Mobile Medical Associates (MMA) has NOT YET been able to obtain an allocation of vaccines from St Lucie County Board of Health and, at this time, is not able to predict the timing of receipt of future allocations.

Presidents Council Board of Directors Presidents Council Members,
Presidents Council is working with Mobile Medical Associates (Concierge mobile medical practice licensed in Florida) to bring the COVID vaccine to South Hutchinson Island residents. We appreciate that Holiday Out (10725 S Ocean Dr) has agreed to provide the site for this event. Details, scheduling process, and timing are being worked out as we send this notice. We will provide the details and the actions you need to take to schedule an appointment, when the St Lucie County Board of Health confirms the vaccine availability. As we prepare to schedule appointments, logistics, etc., we ask that each Association provide a contact person (Name, email, phone number and Association name). Please send to pcofhi@gmail.com by noon Tuesday January 19th. We will work through this individual to handle logistics, identification of volunteers, and additional information to distribute. (contact may be needed over the weekend/evenings) We will provide details shortly for scheduling appointment times/dates. Criteria for receiving the vaccine is: 65 years of age and above, south Hutchinson island resident, and will be in town in 28 days to receive the 2nd injection. The vaccinations are at no charge, but there is a $25.00 service fee (for each of the two required injections) to cover the costs of Mobile Medical Associates bringing the vaccine to us. Please distribute this information to your residents. We will continue to update via email as soon as more information is received. All updates will also be placed on the website (pcofhi.com). Any Associations who are not current members of Presidents Council, may join by completing the application on the website (pcofhi.com) to ensure that you receive timely updates.
