He noted: • The Pass is subject to emergency dredging due to accretion of sand from recent storm events. • Indications are the 18,000 cubic yards of sand available from the dredging will not be a sufficient quantity of sand to currently renourish the beaches in the area. • A truck haul project is proposed to bridge the gap until the next County wide renourishment project is undertaken in 2020. CAC May 10, 2018 VI -1 Approval of Minutes 4 of 6 • A 500 foot section of beach is slated for the work which will be completed via a truck haul at a cost of approximately $263,000. 5. Resiliency Request for Professional Services Mr. McAlpin presented the "Request for Professional Services Collier County Beach Renourishment and Coastal Resiliency Program " for information purposes. He noted: • The County is moving forward with their proposed Coastal Resiliency Program which includes work to complete an initial renourishment of the beach areas and widen the template an average of 50 feet, elevate the beaches approximately 1 foot, widen the dune areas by 20 feet and elevate them 2 — 3 feet higher. • Hard structures may be proposed in areas where placing sand to meet the goals of the plan are not feasible. • A partnership for placement of sand will be sought with the private property owners along the beach. • The ultimate goal is to provide a bayside solution to the potential rollover of tidal surge on the backside of the beaches. • The 25 year plan will be implemented in 5 year phases and it is anticipated two consultants will be engaged for the work (one for the Naples/Parkshore/Vanderbilt beach areas and one for Marco Island). • The proposed contracts will be brought back to the Committee for review in the future. The following was noted during Committee discussion: • The repairs for the damage caused by Hurricane Irma are included in the plan. • The initial year for the implementation of the plan is 2019. • The first cycle of the renourishment is scheduled for 2020. 6. FEMA Storm Report/Update Hurricane Irma • Pages 1-71 • Pages 72-142 Mr. McAlpin provided the "Storm Damage Report: Hurricane Irma Collier County prepared by Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. " last revised February 2018 for information purposes. He noted the following areas suffered damage at the cost estimates identified below: • North County beaches - $4,191,421 — not authorized for reimbursement as the sand stayed in the system. • South Marco beaches - $913,472 - not authorized for reimbursement as the sand stayed in the system. • North County Dunes and Vegetation - $2, 000,000 — reduced to $1,300,000 as payment for sand is ineligible. • Collier Creek Jetty - $362,000 — costs to be subject to reimbursement program. • Collier Creek Navigation Channel - $733,000 - costs to be subject to reimbursement program. • Engineering for Longer Term Mitigation of Collier Creek - $395,000 — Indications are it is unlikely this activity qualifies for the reimbursement program.

Collier County Beach Customary Use Public Access to Private Beaches to be Affected by New Florida Law - Article Bill Requiring Courts to Decide Public Access to Private Beaches Heads to Gov. Rick Scott's Desk — Article Mr. McAlpin provided a copy of a newspaper editorial authored by Kathy Passidomo Florida Senate District 28 representative titled "Customary use beach bill widely misunderstood" for information purposes. He noted changes in the Florida Law will impact the rights of the public to access private beach head areas where it has been an issue in the State, especially in the pan handle area. Collier County should not be negatively affected by the changes as they have a program to obtain temporary construction easements from private owners to renourish their beach areas in exchange for access to the areas. 9.

Dredging Wiggins and Doctors Passes Wiggins Pass dredging is ongoing and following completion the contractor will move to Dr.'s Pass. Central Marco Beach Grading • The County contacted the Jacksonville FEMA office for assistance. • There are no issues with the proposed permit however FEMA is extremely busy and the County has agreed to draft the permit for the Agency's review. • The permit is anticipated to be issued in August 2018 and the County will need temporary construction easements for any work within private property. • The County will be meeting with the 7 +/- private property owners to review the proposed project and discuss any issues relevant to completing the work.
