Josh Urban (Beach Operations director) opened the workshop, introduced staff in attendance and said the purpose was to solicit community input on whether and how the county should develop a regional beach access at Eastern Lake before returning recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). He asked speakers to identify themselves for the record and explained the meeting order: a brief presentation followed by public comment.

Speakers:

Walton County tourism/beach-operations staff presented a proposal to develop a regional beach access at Eastern Lake (San Roy/Eastern Lake Drive parcels), funded by tourism bed tax; residents at a public workshop strongly opposed any new toilets, parking or dune walkovers and urged preservation, offering alternatives such as sidewalks or using existing parking. Staff said concepts will be refined and returned to the Board of County Commissioners.
