Carter Tate spoke to the general complaints he has heard related to the expansion of development on the island. Carter is optimistic of the proposed developments and feels that the community concerns regarding blowing sand,trash and construction blight shouldn't prevent or stall development on the island. He asked that island residents focus on solutions to complaints as a group and further advance fraternity between members of our community. 2. Heather Cooley responded to Carters comment. She feels that Carter is right that our community needs to further fraternity,but she also did not make excuses for legitimate problems that some developers have created.

It may not look that way because as it is being removed from the sand more is washing ashore.But we are staying on top of it. We get a lot of questions about seaweed so we are developing signage about Sargassum/Seaweed to explain to our beach patrons the good qualities of the seaweed and why it has to stay on the beach for a period of time. Life Guard stands will be getting placed on the beaches from May 15-24,in preparation for the kick-off of the summer season and Memorial Day weekend. • Water shore& Beach Advisory Committee Update—The committee hasn't met yet,but at their next meeting they will discuss ADA parking and access at Packery.
