• NEW BUSINESS:
A. Send Request for Proposal to Beach Maintenance Companies
MOTION: Board Member Knight moved to approve Chairperson Miller to send a
request for proposal to beach maintenance companies. Board Member Weiss seconded
the motion, which passed unanimously.
B. Guidelines of the Beach Maintenance Companies
Vice Chair Samuels read aloud, the guidelines that she would like to see incorporated in
all of the proposals from the beach maintenance company. The board held a discussion
regarding the guidelines, and how they pertained to the turtles and trash, and the board
made corrections to those items.
Tara Chitoor (4740 S. Ocean Blvd.) -Last night she went for a walk on the beach and
saw a disoriented baby turtle. She tried to contact Fish and Wildlife, who directed her to
the police, who had a recording that they were only taking calls for emergency only.
Fortunately, she was able to contact Barbara James, who took the baby turtle to Gumbo
Limbo. The information posted in the condominium buildings is incorrect and should
reflect Barbara James as the contact person with her correct information.
