8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Discussion of the Dune Outreach Management Campaign
Chairperson Stansfield read the title of item 8.A. and referred the item to Member
Nestle.
Member Nestle discussed the dune outreach campaign and referenced the action
plan. The board members discussed the draft outreach letter about dune
management and discussed the timeline of when they wanted the residents to
receive the letter. The Board mentioned that they wanted the letter to be finalized
and sent out to the residents prior to the food truck event.
Town Planner Allen mentioned the time constraints with trying to send the
outreach letters prior to the Food Truck Event. She did mention that the letter
could be emailed. There was further discussion about sending letters to owners
of properties east of State Road A1A. The letters that would be sent to residents
would be sent out via email, In the manager’s minutes, and mailed to the
residents.
Member Davison mentioned that regarding the letter he thought that rephasing
climate change to beach erosion and changing the second paragraph to bullet
points would highlight the main ideas and should be considered changes.
The Board discussed their table at the Food truck event. Assistant Town Manager
Terisha Cuebas mentioned that the Town can accommodate the Board with their
needs for the Food Truck event and that any future food truck event bulletins can
be updated to include a note that the Natural Resources Preservation Advisory
Board will have a table at the food truck event. The Board members discussed
having a laptop and monitor on the table and having the dune presentation
displayed in a loop. They will also have a QR code that will direct residents to the
Boards webpage.
MOTION: Davison/Stansfield- Moved to change the Natural Resources Board
website link to the Town link forward slash N, R, P, A, B which is an
acronym for Natural Resources Preservation Advisory Board.

The Town Managers’ Office will clean up the Boards webpage so that it will be
ready by the October 27, 2022 food truck event.
The Board mentioned obtaining premade magnets. Town Planner Allen
mentioned that it would require the Town Manager’s and possibly Town
Commission’s approval. The Board also discussed having a clipboard that will
give the residents the opportunity to provide comments at the food truck event in
regard to dune management and they also inquired about the process of booking
the library for a dune management event as the Board may be interested in
piggybacking off existing events.
The Board made some changes to the proposed outreach letter provided by

meeting and agreed to clean up the letter and send the final draft to Town Planner
Allen for distribution to the Board Members.
