City Manager Scott Schwartzlander and Community Services Director Stuart Cruz described the board's work and the resulting grants. Reverend Bob, who has served as the city's appointee for about three years, told the commission the advisory board has approved about $6 million in grant applications so far that support recovery services and equipment for first responders.

Schwartzlander and Cruz said the city had used opioid abatement grant proceeds to buy a cardiac assistance device and a set of automated external defibrillators that together total roughly $75,000. Cruz said the county board helps prepare and vet grant applications from municipalities and community recovery organizations; those grants have purchased equipment and funded programs that city safety personnel now use.

Reverend Bob said the county's opioid abatement process is a long payout and that additional funds remain for distribution. He told the commission the settlement payout is structured over 10 years and that about $20 million is estimated overall, with an estimated $12 million to $13 million remaining to come to Volusia County.

Action: the commission voted 5-0 to reappoint Reverend Bob and to appoint Reverend Melissa as alternate. Reverend Bob thanked commissioners for the appointment and for the city departments that applied for and implemented grant purchases.

What passed in brief

Ordinances 2025-02 and 2025-03 were presented by Gwen Herstein, city planner, as voluntary annexations of recently built or existing single‑family residences. Staff recommended RSF‑2 zoning for both properties and confirmed statutory notice requirements under Florida Statute 171.044 had been met. Both measures passed on unanimous roll calls.

Resolution 2025-02 was presented by Stuart Cruz, community services director, and would relinquish any city interest in a walkway adjacent to the Sanibel Condo so Volusia County can consolidate ownership and rebuild a contiguous beach approach after hurricane damage. Cruz said the county requested the resolution so there would be no encumbrances when the county accepts the property.

Appointments and calendar

Reverend Bob was reappointed to the county advisory board; Reverend Melissa was named alternate. City Manager Scott Schwartzlander and staff noted the county advisory board has awarded and managed opioid‑related grants that city departments used to buy AEDs and CPR equipment.

Reinhart said the Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida Inland Navigation District initially expected about 770,000 cubic yards of sand from the inlet; that amount has risen to just over 900,000 cubic yards. He said additional dredging of shoals alongside the channel — using the same contractor and equipment — is expected to generate another 1.7 million to 2.2 million cubic yards, which would “definitely far exceed the Sunglow Pier area” and could allow work to extend north toward Ormond Beach.

The county representative said Halifax Paving won the contract because its bid met the city and county needs; the contractor will pump sand offshore to shore, allow it to settle, then truck and redistribute material to build berms and vulnerable shoreline segments. Reinhart said piping is being installed and traffic deviations are being posted in Ponce Inlet to support the operation.

Why it matters: shoreline restoration affects storm resilience, public beach access and local tourism that supports small businesses. Daytona Beach Shores officials have been coordinating with county and federal agencies to prioritize vulnerable areas and to comply with permitting.

Reinhart told commissioners that some walkovers and ramps will require permit modifications from FEMA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection because federal building requirements assume existing sand levels. He said those agency reviews can delay replacement of dune walkovers because permittees must match federal step counts and other specifications.

Reinhart said the county will also buy native dune vegetation with remaining grant funds to stabilize rebuilt dunes. He noted an earlier Noah grant application to grow beach plants in an inmate farm was not funded; instead, the county will purchase plants directly and include planting as part of the restoration work.

He also described related projects: a Lighthouse Point Park redesign that will include a public kayak launch and a separate New Smyrna Beach dredging of Rattlesnake Island that is expected to supply about 550,000 to 600,000 cubic yards for restoration south of Daytona Beach Shores.

The commission asked whether dunes and vegetation were part of the plan; Reinhart confirmed they are. He described the sequencing: dredging and pumping, then trucking and berm construction, with follow‑up planting work funded by grant proceeds. No formal action was requested of the commission at the March 4 meeting.

Reinhart: “We are also we had enough money left over that we are going to, use the same dredging equipment, the same company, and we're going to be able to, dredge the shoals ... which will produce, we're gonna say safe to 1,700,000 more cubic yards. However, now they're saying it may be closer to 2,200,000 cubic yards.”

The city will continue to coordinate permitting and staging with the county, the Corps, FEMA and FDEP as the work proceeds.","Volusia County District 2 representative Matt Reinhart told the Daytona Beach Shores commission on March 4 that dredging work, including material from shoals, could produce as much as 2.2 million cubic yards of beach‑compatible sand, enough to rebuild much of the city's shoreline and possibly reach Ormond Beach.","actionData","errors"]
