Inlet Subcommittee Report - Mr. Sullivan The boat trip was a success with 20 persons and a tram ride through Clam Pass followed. Gave excerpts of past meetings and some of the Committees findings and decisions: · Keep it simple and all encompassing and an overview of Inlet Management Plans · Started with Wiggins Pass and would attach a schematic · Focus had been beach renourishment - and dredging passes to accomplish that. · Referred to Draft (Attached) - keeping the inlets navigable for commercial and recreational boating in addition to beach renourishment. · Passes filling in with sand too fine for beach use and what do they do with it. · Plan was to keep it simple, use any engineering drawings and going back in June. · In previous sub-committee meeting, Mr. Pennington was asking to look at addressing just "beach quality sand" only. This would limit the role of the sub-committee. Discussion took place with some of the following remarks: o Beach quality sand is required by the permitting agencies for grain size to match what is on that beach. o Inlets and beach renourishment o Interlocal Agreements - dredging & navigational passes Mr. Pennington mentioned there are a lot of questions - all being relevant and pertinent, but none with what the Sub-committees task was. The Sub-committee dug into many issues and exceeded far beyond his expectations. He gave a synopsis on the appointment of a sub-committee and its purpose. Also gave a history of category "A" funds and beach improvement and maintenance which included the inlet maintenance. Read part of the State Statutes concerning putting sand on the beaches. What they are doing has to be consistent with the policy adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Pennington read the policy relating to the inlet and 4 -"'--''"~'''-'~"-''''~ ,-".,.....__.......,_.~"'_.,.._._..._-_._'".~.,_..-._._..- May 12, 2005 beach quality sand. When requests are made to fund certain activities in inlets and the boundaries aren't defined, not sure they can fund it out of Tourist Tax or not. He stated nothing defines the particular parameters. What can be funded by Tourist Tax money is the question. He recommended defining the other passes in the County other than Doctors Pass. After he met with the Commissioners, they agreed Mr. Pennington was to bring back the portion of each pass that would be funded by Tourist Tax monies. That's when the Sub-committee was appointed. He wants to go back to the Commissioners with recommendations of what should be funded for each pass. Mr. Pennington discussed the different aspects ofthe different passes. The parameters need to be defined. (Boundaries - not specifics) Stated an Interlocal Agreement between Marco Island and the County should be done. More explanation of what should be taken back to the Commissioners was given. Comments and rebuttal: · Name of sub-committee not appropriate · Thought was not to do agreement in piecemeal · Surprised Gordon Pass not included · There is a problem with not having "specifics" · 2 Dimensional Chart - stating an area of responsibility but not what the responsibility is - was Mr. Sullivan's summary. · Felt having a plan for Gordon Pass is essential (Mr. Pires left at 3:40 PM) · Didn't want to limit recommendations to BCC · Committee could make a recommendation on a change in the inlet funding policy · Add suggested policy changes on inlets that should be taken into consideration · Changes need to go to the TDC · Present a Phase I and Phase II recommendation (with separate entities) · Coordination with County and City After additional discussion, Mr. Hendel moved the Sub-committee proceed in 2 phases. Second by Mr. Sorey. Carried unanimously 8-0. IX. Public Comments - None X. Announcements - May be a Special Meeting in June. XI. Committee Member Discussion - Mr. Arceri asked about delays on Hideaway Beach. If there are delays, Mr. McAlpin responded a Special Meeting may be called 5 May 12, 2005 and options be given. XII.
