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

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.
