Workshop of the Board of County Commissioners to Discuss Beach Community Working Group Recommendation
Nassau County, Florida, December 17, 2019 – On December 19, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners formed a Beach Community Working Group consisting of Mike Mullin, County Manager/County Attorney; Taco Pope, Assistant County Manager; Doug Podiak, Facilities Maintenance Director; Gil Langley, Executive Director of the Tourist Development Council; Butch Osborne, Director of Operations for the Sheriff’s Office; Mac Morriss, Ex-Officio Member; and Lowell Hall, Ex-Officio Member.
The group was directed to review current beach related Ordinances and use of the beach and to make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners as to any updates or amendments that need to be made. A total of sixteen (16) meetings were held in 2019. Hundreds of individuals appeared at meetings and hundreds more sent emails expressing concerns about a myriad of issues including but not limited to, items left on the beach, horseback riding, safety concerns, and littering, however most of the concerns related to beach driving and unregulated camping.
Having concluded their work, the Beach Committee Working Group presented their findings to the Board of County Commissioners at their meeting on November 18, 2019. The Board of County Commissioners have scheduled a Workshop Session for Thursday, January 16, 2020 at 4:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers located at 96135 Nassau Place, Yulee, FL 32097, to discuss the Committee’s recommendations.
Please note that the Board cannot take action during a Workshop Session, therefore no vote will be taken at the Workshop on January 16, 2020. Ultimately, a County Ordinance will be drafted and advertised public hearings will be held to address any proposed changes.
