ONGOING LIST OF DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS
from the
Atlantic Beach (FL) Mayor’s Council on Health and Wellbeing
(NOTE: The Council will continue discussing and revising
recommendations through its final meeting on November 2, 2022.
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS.)
January 2022: Census and Youth Risk Behavior Data
1.Identify local gaps and needs for programs and plans
directed toward seniors citizens.
2.Identify local gaps and needs for programs that address
alarming youth trends in the areas of physical activity,
substance abuse, and mental health issues.
3.Improve tools to engage residents and improve
accessibility of programs throughout the city.
February 2022: Blue Zones
1.While the City of Atlantic Beach scores high on the life
satisfaction survey (Gallup Survey, 2018), people most in
need of healthy living choices may not respond to such
surveys. The COAB would do well to identify areas of the
community that may need further outreach—and then follow-up
as needed.
2.If the COAB is not included in the Blue Zones Jacksonville
initiative, the COAB should endorse the project’s goals.
3.The Council will promote efforts to connect people and
neighborhoods, healthy food choices, discourage tobacco
use, and discourage excessive alcohol use.
March 2022: Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Plan for
Atlantic Beach, Florida
1.Explore the use of the JEA utility corridor (that does not
encroach on NFL Land Trust easement or residential property) in
the marsh area (off Atlantic Blvd) for bike and pedestrian use.
2.Focus on what is doable in COAB. Some of the data might not fit
COAB. We are a cul-de-sac community with escalating traffic.
3.Prioritize connectivity projects in an equitable way, consider an
established bike route, and, in the short term explore a Selva
Marina walking path (northern end of Selva Marina Drive between
th
20 and Saturiba Drive).
4.Consider uniformed speed limits throughout COAB.
5.As the numbers and types of recreational vehicles that are
capable of exceeding 15 miles/hour (like electric bikes, boards,
motorcycles, golfcarts) escalate, the COAB Commission needs to
continue exploring possible legislative action that addresses
what is safe on our streets/sidewalks.

This is an on-going/updated/edited list of the MCHWB draft recommendations.
June 8, 2022
April 2022: Senior Programming \[5 and 6 still to be discussed\]
1.Create and promote an accessible/easily located link on the COAB
website for senior services contact numbers, resources, and other
pertinent information.
2.Recognizing that property tax caps limit the size of annual tax
increases, ask the COAB Commission to explore and dialogue about
appropriate alternatives (legislation? regulation? Invitation?)
to address rent increases.
3.Consider expanding grant programs as well as including money in
the City of Atlantic Beach budget for senior programs.
4.Examine community center capacity to see if the city can offer
space and/or funding to host accessible senior citizen workshops,
classes, courses, and events.
5.Include age-friendly accessory dwelling unit provisions in Land
Development Regulations.
6.Pursue joining the World Health Organization/AARP Global Network
of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities.
May 2022: Vulnerable Populations
1.The City of Atlantic Beach should continue to build and
strengthen relationships with the Sulzbacher and the Beaches Hope
Team
2.Explore transportation options from Atlantic Beach to Mission
House or similar services.
3.Explore the options that connect affordable housing and increased
housing density. \[Ellen Golombek\]
4.Should the City of Atlantic Beach revisit height limits to
increase housing density?
5.Explore options to control “flipping of houses” to increase
affordable housing.
6.Recommend that Project Save Lives expand to a dedicated emergency
department/room in the beaches community.
7.Develop free opioid education/distribution strategies that
include information about nonprescription Narcan in the City of
Atlantic Beach.
June 2022: Youth: Challenges and Possibilities
1.COAB needs to promote a walkability campaign (like “Walk and
”) that, among other benefits, will help to mitigate traffic
and parking issues on Sherry Drive during ABE student drop-off
and pick-up times?
2.Explore a three-pronged approach to promote local Farmers
Markets: a. develop an advertising/educational campaign about the
FM benefits, b. find options for those with transportation
issues, and c. get people to act on/take advantage of points 2.a.
and 2.b.

3.Advocate for the Atlantic Beach Farmers Market to begin accepting
SNAP payments.

for new playground equipment.
6.Promote a deliberative dialogue examining how COAB could enhance

Edit as of March 9, 2022 MCHWB meeting
Topic-Specific Summary of the MCHWB January 12, 2022 Meeting
Topic: Census and Youth Risk Behavior Data
Presenters: Abrielle Genest, City of Atlantic Beach Planner;
Ellen Glasser, Mayor
Theme of Presentation: Demographics of Atlantic Beach, Florida,
and Highlights of County Youth Trends
Takeaways:
1.This was the first meeting of the MCHWB. The Mayor provided
and overview of the Council’s mission. See Resolution No.
21-78 passed by the City Commission on 11/22/21. The
Council will support the COAB mission, vision, and its
Quality-of-Life priority to enhance the “livability” of
Atlantic Beach, FL. The Council members are not expected to
be subject matter experts. The Council members will bring
positive energy to each meeting and have deliberative
dialogues about the topics at hand.
2.City Planner Genest delivered a presentation on the COAB
latest census figures. One key point: Our 65 and older
population continues to grow at a faster pace than other
demographics. And the median age of 46.6 (2019) is higher
than Duval County and the State of Florida.
3.More than 85% of COAB residents are White. A little more
than 7% are Black or African American. The number of
housing units has increased by more than 700 since 2000.
4.2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey trends on physical activity
& dietary behavior, school safety, substance abuse, and
suicide ideation were presented for the County and Health
Zone 6 (beaches).
Recommendations:
1. Identify local gaps and needs for programs and plans
directed toward seniors citizens.
2. Identify local gaps and needs for programs that address
alarming youth trends in the areas of physical activity,
substance abuse, and mental health issues. (such as suicide
ideation).
3. Improve tools to engage residents and improve accessibility
of programs throughout the city.

Edit as of March 9, 2022 MCHWB meeting
Topic-Specific Summary of the MCHWB February 9, 2022 Meeting
Topic: Blue Zones
Presenters: Debbie Watkins and Amelia Clabots of Blue Zones
Theme of Presentation: “To empower everyone, everywhere to live
longer and better.”
Takeaways:
1.The Blue Zones Power 9 model engages people to make healthy
and transformative living choices regarding natural
movement, stress management, healthy eating, and nurturing
social connections. The City of Atlantic Beach, in keeping
with the city mission and vision, will promotes such
choices.
2.According to the Duval County Health Zone Data (2019),
Atlantic Beach has an aging-in-place population. Social
connections and ease of movement about the community are
especially important to this demographic of our community
3.Blue Zones Jacksonville is largely funded, but the Beaches
Project(Atlantic, Jacksonville, and Neptune) still needs
about two-million dollars to be included as a focus area.
Recommendations:
1.While the City of Atlantic Beach scores high on the life
satisfaction survey (Gallup Survey, 2018), people most in
need of healthy living choices may not respond to such
surveys. The COAB would do well to identify areas of the
community that may need further outreach—and then follow-up
as needed.
2.While the participation of the City of Atlantic Beach in
the Blue Zones project is uncertain, it is recommended that
COAB, at least, should offer its endorsement of the
project. If the COAB is not included in the Blue Zones
Jacksonville initiative, the COAB should endorse the
project’s goals.
3.The Council will promote efforts to connect people and
neighborhoods, healthy food choices, discourage tobacco
use, and discourage excessive alcohol use.

Topic-Specific Summary of the MCHWB March 9, 2022 Meeting
Topic: Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Plan for Atlantic Beach,
Florida
Presenters: Matt Fall, COJ Bike Pedestrian Coordinator; Colin Moore
(City of Neptune Beach Grant and Resiliency Coordinator); Amanda Askew
(City of Atlantic Beach, Director of Planning and Community
Development)
Theme of Presentation: Improving connectivity by providing a safe
environment for pedestrians and bicyclists is a top priority for the
City of Atlantic Beach, Florida.
Takeaways (a few):
1.Presentation on bike safety (COJ): Two of the obstacles hindering
more bike-friendly communities: Lack of appropriate pathways and
th
lack of funding. Jacksonville is the 10 most dangerous place for
bicycling in the USA.
2.The East Coast Greenway is a 3000-mile vision from Main to the
Florida Keys. It will connect existing trails.
3.A section of the East Coast Greenway, along with a road diet
(lane reduction) through AB, is planned, in coordination with
FDOT and the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO).
4.The COAB Connectivity Plan seeks safe opportunities for biking
and pedestrian mobility. “Given the abundance of recreational
opportunities within the city, it is important to provide safe
and convenient access to these amenities.”
Recommendations:
1.Explore the use of the JEA utility corridor (that does not
encroach on NFL Land Trust easement or residential property) in
the marsh area (off Atlantic Blvd) for bike and pedestrian use.
\[Michael Hosto ?\]
2.Focus on what is doable in COAB. Some of the data might not fit
COAB. We are a cul-de-sac community with escalating traffic.
\[Michael Lanier\]
3.Prioritize connectivity projects in an equitable way, consider an
established bike route, and, in the short term explore a Selva
Marina walking path (northern end of Selva Marina Drive between
th
20 and Saturiba Drive). \[Ellen Glasser\]
4.Consider uniformed speed limits throughout COAB. \[Jim Belich ?\]
5.As the numbers and types of recreational vehicles that are
capable of exceeding 15 miles/hour (like electric bikes, boards,
motorcycles, golfcarts) escalate, the COAB Commission needs to
continue exploring possible legislative action that addresses
what is safe on our streets/sidewalks. \[Michael Lanier; edit
suggestions from numerous Council members\]

13 Jul 2022
Topic-Specific Summary of the MCHWB April 13, 2022 Meeting
Topic: Senior Programming
Presenters: LaTrenia Thomas (COAB Parks and Recreation), Abrielle
Genest (COAB City Planner), Curtis Ford (Beaches Habitat for
Humanity), Lori Richards (BEAM), Gayle Blackmer (Baptist AgeWell
Center for Health), An Oskarson (Mayo Memory Loss Program), Lori
Anderson (Beaches Council on Aging), Joanne Hickox (Seniors on a
Mission), Jeff Backfisch (COJ, Senior Services), Katie Devanny
(Jacksonville Public Library), Leslie Lyne (CONB Programming/Senior
Center), Andrea Spencer (Elder Source).
Theme of Presentation: Representatives from eleven governmental and
private agencies (COAB, CONB, and Jacksonville) spoke about the
challenges and resources available for senior citizens living in our
area.
Takeaways (a few):
1.Approximately 23% of COAB population (2019) is 65+ years old.
According to AARP statistics, by 2030 ~25% of the US population
will be 65+.
2.Poverty rates (as of 2018) for seniors have increased.
3.Successful aging in place requires more planning, action, and
expenditure than most people realize. An ongoing challenge
remains effective ways to connect in-need seniors with available
resources.
4.Seniors represent a vulnerable population as they must address
challenges involving housing insecurity, food insecurity,
cognitive decline, reliable transportation, lifestyle changes due
to physical and/or financial disabilities, and healthy social
connections.
5.In addition to the above (#3 and #4), seniors need support and
mentoring when it comes to nurturing a sense of life purpose.
Recommendations (and which Council member made recommendation)
\[5 and 6 still to be discussed\]:
1.Create and promote an accessible/easily located link on the COAB
website for senior services contact numbers, resources, and other
pertinent information. \[Tracy Marko\]
2.Recognizing that property tax caps limit the size of annual tax

13 Jul 2022
Topic-Specific Summary of the MCHWB May 11, 2022 Meeting
Topic: Vulnerable Populations
Presenters: Cindy Funkhouser: Sulzbacher; John Bowles: Beaches
Clinic/Beaches Hope Team; Tracy Tousey: Community Foundation. Mark
Rowley (JFRD): Project Save Lives; Mission House was on the agenda but
not attend the meeting.
Theme of Presentation: While services exist to help vulnerable
citizens, more outreach and resources are needed to connect people to
needed life-sustaining and life-saving services.
Takeaways (a few):
1.An increasing “cost burden” has exacerbated the housing crisis
(and its concomitant issues) in the beaches area.
2.The beaches are a “net exporter” of workers. Actions to increase
affordable housing density need to be implemented.
3.We need to think about where we want increased housing density
and how to achieve that increase.
4.The intent of services to homeless men, women and children is to
make them self-sufficient.
5.While there has not been a major increase in the AB homeless
population, there has been a “huge increase” just west of the
Intracoastal Waterway.
6.While drug overdoses are comparatively (to other parts of Duval
County) low in AB, the incidents are spreading throughout AB.
7.A grant is available for distribution of free Narcan in AB.
Recommendations (and which Council member made recommendation):
1.The City of Atlantic Beach should continue to build and
strengthen relationships with the Sulzbacher and the Beaches Hope
Team \[Tracy Marko\]
2.Explore transportation options from Atlantic Beach to Mission
House or similar services. \[Joyce Freeman\]
3.Explore the options that connect affordable housing and increased
housing density. \[Ellen Golombek\]
4.Should the City of Atlantic Beach revisit height limits to

Topic-Specific Summary of the MCHWB June 8, 2022 Meeting
Topic: Youth: Challenges and Possibilities
Presenters: Ellen Menendez, District Administration, DCPS. Elizabeth
Andersen, DCPS School Board Member, District 2. Kim Gallagher,
Principal, Atlantic Beach Elementary School. Dr. Charles Coker, Yesha
Taekwondo. JoAnn Wallace, CEO, Dig Local Network.
Theme of Presentation: Physical and emotional health requires
programming that addresses safety, mental health, transportation,
meaningful community (social) connections, natural movement, exercise,
and wholesome/nutritious foods.
Takeaways (a few):
1.The DCPS supports numerous programs to help students develop
connections for wellness (e.g., The Grow Group; Beaches Resource
Center, Wellness Wednesday).
2.Since feeling safe and being safe are different issues, student
programming aims to reflect that dichotomy.
3.ABE has a Joint Use Agreement that allows the community to use
the track and playground equipment when school is not in session.
4.ABE after-school pickup of students creates traffic challenges
for Sherry Drive.
5.Yesha Taekwondo represents one of the youth programs COAB
(through CRAC) supports with grant monies.
6.Food insecurity undermines emotional and physical health, affects
academic development, and creates behavioral challenges.
7.Farmers Markets in the beaches area provide quality food, yet
challenges remain like, marketing the programs; helping with
transportation to and from the FMs; offering SNAP acceptance at
all FMs.
Recommendations (and which Council member made recommendation):
1.COAB needs to promote a walkability campaign (like “Walk and
”) that, among other benefits, will help to mitigate traffic
and parking issues on Sherry Drive during ABE student drop-off
and pick-up times? \[Tracy Marko\]
