MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor

FROM: Jim Hanso

SUBJECT: Follow-up eport
Dutton Island II Preserve (Centex) Prouerty; An consultant working on behalf of Jacksonville
made a presentation to the City Commission at the meeting on March 10th outlining the proposed
development for the Dutton Island Phase II (Centex) property. As you will recall, this is located
just to the north of Dutton Road and on the east side of the causeway leading to Dutton Island. A
request was made that Commissioners receive copies of the drawing presented. Attached for
your information and use is a copy of that drawing by England, Timms & Miller, Inc. dated
3/5/03.
Mosauito Control; A recommendation was made at the commission meeting on March 10, 2003
that the city enter into a contract with a private company to spray for mosquitoes. During the last
year, the city began supplementing the services provided by the City ofJacksonville/Duval
County by paying a private company to perform spraying on an as needed basis. A report by
Bob Kosoy, Director of Public Works is attached to this report and outlines his plans for
mosquito spraying in the upcoming season.
Beach Renourishment; At the last commission meeting, it was reported than an agreement had
been worked out between the Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville Beach, Jacksonville and Atlantic
Beach to spread the available beach quality sand in the areas that most needed the additional
protection. This would amount to approximately 170,000 cubic yards of sand in locations in
Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville Beach, compared with the original project design for 300,000
cubic yards. However, the Corps of Engineers had not yet received a proposal from the
contractor for this change in plan and state turtle protection regulations require that the work be
completed by April 15th. There was a question raised about whether or not enough time existed
to spread the sand that was expected to be available.
The Corps of Engineers has now reported as of the time of the writing of this report that they
have received a proposal from the contractor for the work and agreed for them to go ahead with
the sand placement. They expect the work to begin by the end of the week of March 17th to 21~t.
While time is growing short to get the work completed, the Corp expressed optimism that all of
the sand estimated to be available could be placed in the two cities before the deadline. The
exact order of placement for the remaining sand will be up to the contractor.
