Subject: Comments for Council Meeting
As residents of Atlantic Beach we would request that the following be read at courtesy of the floor in
today's Council meeting. We are unable to attend in person due to travel.
As a decades long residents of Atlantic Beach we would like to voice our support for our Police
Department and the efforts of our Police Cheif to secure competitive pay for our Police Officers. Our
Police Department Officers are a highly trained and valuable part of our community. Their
professionalism and daily conduct as they perform their duties protecting this community are to be
admired and should be recognized. The fact is that only through competitive pay scales will Atlantic
Beach be able to hire and retain the best officers available.
Thankyou foryour consideration in this matter.
