Beach and Dune Committee Update

7/14/2020

 
Members of the PC Board continue to work cooperatively with the County to get clarity around the funding options for the Federal Beach Project, particularly important prior to the SLC Budget workshops beginning later this month.  Also, have been meeting with the new SLC Deputy County Administrator, Alphonso Jefferson, who will be responsible for the project going forward.
As discussed in the past, adding public beach accesses will increase the Federal cost share and thus reduce the local cost to the County and/or property owners.  At this time, there has not yet been any commitment in any of the strategically located properties.  Therefore, the local cost share calculations are expected to be made using the higher end of the estimated remaining unfunded balance.   If this changes later, the total local share will be reduced allowing a reduction of any planned levy.   
Another critical milestone is signing of the USACE’s PPA (Project Partnership Agreement) which is on target to be completed in August.  Following the signing of the PPA, the information package on the Construction Easements, a required part of implementing the project, will be sent by the County to the Associations/property owners.  The package will explain the efforts needed to secure the project Construction Easements.    Also planned is a new website page with answers to commonly asked questions, other pertinent information, including a beach nourishment assessment cost estimator.
If you have any questions relating to the beach project, the contact at the County is Joshua Revord (772-462-1269).
