Environmental committee endorses grant for 5th Street dune-protection walkover
Summary
Atlantic Beach’s Environmental Stewardship Committee endorsed a Coastal Partnership Initiative grant application requesting support to build a dune-protection walkover on 5th Street; the committee authorized the chair to sign an endorsement letter by voice vote.
The Environmental Stewardship Committee on Oct. 22 endorsed a city grant application to construct a dune-protection walkover on 5th Street.
Staff asked members to allow the committee chair to sign an endorsement letter supporting the Coastal Partnership Initiative application. A committee member moved to approve the endorsement, another member seconded, and the committee approved the motion by voice vote.
Why it matters: A dune walkover aims to help protect the dune system while providing managed access to the beach, which can reduce trampling of dune vegetation and help stabilize sand. City staff said the endorsement strengthens the city’s grant application by showing local advisory support.
What was discussed: Committee members reviewed the draft letter and proposed two editorial corrections: an updated year and a corrected staff email address. No costs or matching-fund requirements were specified in the discussion. Staff said paper copies of the letter were available for members and edits could be made before submittal.
What comes next: Staff will finalize the edits and the chair was authorized to sign the letter on behalf of the committee as part of the city’s grant application.
