Council Member Goodwin requested City Council discussion of a proposed resolution submitted by David & Rebecca Sherry, residents of Okaloosa Island, to support a sand tracer study of the East Pass Inlet in reference to the newly adopted East Pass Inlet Management Plan for placement of dredged material. The Mayor read the resolution by title. The City Manager explained that Okaloosa Island residents David and Rebecca Sherry approached the City to discuss the adoption of a resolution of support for a sand tracer study to determine the actual direction of sand migration along the coastline near the East Pass Inlet. The City Manager continued that an East Pass Inlet Management Plan ( Plan) which deals with the placement of dredged material from the East Pass Inlet Area, was completed through a partnership between the City of Destin and the FDEP, and that Okaloosa County was also involved in the development of the final plan. Through research done by Staff, it has been determined that the latest Plan formally adopted by the FDEP on July 24, 2013, is consistent with the Florida Statutes and discussed several strategies for the East Pass Inlet Management. In regards to the request of Mr. and Mrs. Sherry that the City Council support a sand tracer study at no cost to the City via a resolution, the City Manager stated that with the formal adoption of the 2013 East Pass Inlet Management Plan, Staff finds that action by the City Council is not necessary; the City does not have any financial capability to support a sand tracer study; and any additional study performed in conjunction with the Plan should be initiated by the City of Destin, Okaloosa County, or FDEP. Therefore, since the City is not directly impacted by the 2013 East Pass Inlet Management Plan, there is no direct final impact related to dredging, a sand tracer study, or anything related, Staff recommends City Council take no action on Res. 2013 -21 to support a sand tracer study for the East Pass Inlet.
