07-25-22 Handout - Lifeguard Station - Mayor GlasserJuly 20, 2022 Honorable Rory Diamond Jacksonville City Council - District 13 117 West Duval Street Jacksonville, FL 32202 Re: Atlantic Beach Lifeguard Station Dear Council Member Diamond: CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH OFFICE OF THE MAYOR 800 SEMINOLE ROAD ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA 32233-5455 www.coab.us Thank you for engaging faithfully about issues of importance to Atlantic Beach and Duval County, In our recent meeting, I asked for your assistance to reallocate the already budgeted $562,500 for the Atlantic Beach Lifeguard Station rebuild into next year's budget. It is listed as an expenditure in the Debt Management Fund, Subfund 57101, in this year's approved budget. Attached for reference is page 518 of the budget. A few things have prompted our request. 1) Public comment prompted us to revisit incorporating portions of the existing iconic structure. 2) An architect is working with us to assure that mold issues within the existing structure are eliminated in the larger rebuild. 3) Process issues have presented some challenges. Initially, funds were released to us by COJ, and we returned them on request. A process is now established that COJ will reimburse us instead. 4) We have found it generally harder to move projects along, given labor and material shortages in the private sector. We appreciate your stewardship over this important matter.
