B&D Committee Update 8/25/2020

Harvey Alligood provided a brief Beach & Dune update: the PPA has not yet been signed but, expected at the September BOCC. Also, at the September meeting, the final budget will be confirmed for the fiscal year beginning October 1st and tax rates for November 2020 tax bills.  (Note: This information will be updated based upon the information in the TRIM notice received 8/19/2020). 

To date, still no additional public beach access points and associated required parking and appears doubtful at this time.  Consequently, funding plans will move forward assuming no additions.
Concerns remain about funding mechanisms, the extent of county-wide funding and indications to date that any federal funding not acquired (presently as much as $6.3MM),  but lost because of beach accesses not forthcoming from the local community being part of any levy on the local community (Note:  as outlined and updated 8/17/2020 on the County website:  South County Renourishment Project Funding Plan)
