Edisto Beach moves forward with 20 life rings and cabinets at beach accesses
Summary
The ATAX board approved $14,105.60 to purchase and install 20 24-inch life rings and cabinets at 20 beach access points as phase one of a public-safety program; the rings match state-park equipment for uniformity.
The ATAX Advisory Board approved funding April 30 to buy and install 20 24-inch life rings and accompanying cabinets at 20 public beach access points in Edisto Beach as a phase-one public-safety measure.
Police Chief Daniel Seyle presented the application, saying the units "were selected to be consistent with those used at the state park for uniformity." The project is described in meeting materials as phase one; staff noted the board could consider an additional 20 units in a future year. Chair Mike Hobson moved to approve ATAX funding in the amount of $14,105.60; Richard Howse seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Board members also discussed disposition options for existing life rings, including the suggestion that surplus units be considered for donation. The funding covers equipment and cabinets to ensure life rings will be readily accessible at the listed access points.
Staff will coordinate procurement and installation and report progress to the board at a future meeting.
