Update on dredging project - start date delay

Update from Phyllis Thorpe: 
The dredging will not be starting on 5/26. The dredging will probably start about a week later. By the end of this week, I will have a new projected start date, which I will forward to you for another update posting. 
Thank you!

Canal dredging project update - May 13, 2014

This is the first of a series of information updates that I will be providing to theTreasure Beach property owners in regard to the canal dredging project.  These updates will be provided to Angi Bell, who will post them on the community web site, http://www.treasurebeachflorida.com.  The contractor has been constructing the dewatering site since April 28^th, and he will start dredging the last week in May.  At this time, the contractor has not made any changes to his proposed order of dredging or the proposed timeline he presented at the April 22, 2014 property owners' meeting.  Please see the attached Sequence of Dredging chart, to which the contractor has added a projected start date for each portion of dredging.  You will need to have your boats moored outside the dredge path, less than 17 feet from your property line, prior to the start of dredging in your canal.  If you have a dock or other structure that extends more than 15 feet from your property line, you will also need to return the signed hold harmless agreement to me prior to the start of dredging in your canal.

 

If you would like to view the aerial photo of the canal system with the original dredge path superimposed onto it, you may find it via the following link.

The file for this aerial is extremely large, so it is very cumbersome to negotiate.  However, you are welcome to come by my office and view the hard copy of the aerial at your convenience, between 7:30 and 4:00 Mondaythru Friday.  Please remember that the revised dredge path will be 2 feet further from the property lines on each side.

 

I will provide the next update in about two weeks, or sooner, if the projected dates change.

 

Please do not hesitate to call or email me, should you have any questions.

 

Thank you very much.

Pot Luck dinner at 6:30 

Pledge of allegiance 7:30

Recording Secretary cast one vote for each member running for the board. The new board is officially elected.

Guest Speakers:

Officer Melissa Swindull  will be our contact for neighborhood watch. She will help with any problems, call or e-mail her.  She spoke about a wave of break ins that are taking place in Ponte Vedra. Most all of them were cars that were left unlocked. The crooks take one credit card from a wallet so you don't miss it for some time. Then they up on a wig or whatever is needed to look something like the person they robbed. Then they go thru the drive thru at the bank and use the one farthest away from the window.  She expects them to move to new locations and this could be one. So make sure your cars are always locked.  For neighborhood watch she just wants you to keep your eyes open when you go in or out and to call if you see anything that does not look right.  She also stated that she would support us in the effort to get a cross walk on A1A.

LT. Stacie Newman from the St. Johns County Fire & Rescue Dept. let us know that thru a grant the county has 300 smoke detectors available, they are free to anyone living in St. Johns County, all you need do is to call them and set up an appointment and they will come and install them for free.

She also spoke of a website called Vileoflife.com where you can download a form to fill out and put in your refrigerator with info on your medical status such as meds that you are allergic to. There would be a sticker on your door and on the refrigerator so the fire rescue would know to look there before giving you a shot of something.

  

Minutes accepted as read.

Treasurer's report accepted as read. We have $22,578.93 in our checking account, $10,291.59 in a CD. The county gave us back the money we spent up to this point on the canal project.

Old Business:

Canals: Project out for bids this week. Butler Park will be closed and used for the spoils from the dredging. There will be a meeting next week about the canals to answer question.

The dues letter is ready to go out.

New Business:

If you want to add something to the website let Agni know.

It was suggested that we see if we could get new Neighborhood Watch signs.

Yard of the month: If you are interested let Angi know.

Spring Picnic: offer suggestions for where and when and let Angi know also if you would be willing to help.

T.B.P.O.A. shed, do we need it anymore?

It was suggested that we get gift cards for some of our volunteers.

Benches: there was a suggestion that we place some cement benches at the bus stop. Will need to contact the county, although we did not do so when we put the big rock there.

It was noted that the Council on Aging will put in ramps and grab bars for people who need them.   

Adjourned at 8:45 PM

Canal meeting update

I took 7 pages of notes tonight at the canal meeting. I am by no means qualified to interpret the detailed information pertaining to this project, however, I will try to summarize and post the notes I took. I will post them this weekend to this blog.  Please check back next week for an update. Please note: I will not be able to answer your specific questions about the canal dredging project but will direct you to our canal committee chair who will undoubtedly refer you to the appropriate county officials. As the project progresses, it is my intention to provide updates to this blog as the county communicates them to me. 
Hope this helps!
