She requested funds be used from the 1st Penny, estimating the cost at less than $200K in bed tax dollars. Commissioner Windes commented inlet management plans are sufficient, in his opinion. He requested both Mr. Trifilio and Mr. Trammell provide their input. Mr. Trifilio and Mr. Trammell agreed that current plans, by the Army Corp. of Engineers and State of Florida, are based on certified data and also allow for flexibility. Mr. David Sherry, Condo Alliance of Okaloosa Island, responded by saying the East Pass has a distinct offset. To replicate the natural flow, the sand tracer study should be used. He suggested that data commissioned by the city of Destin was manipulated to provide a favorable opinion. Ms. Kathy Foster, Okaloosa Island Leaseholders, thanked the board for their recommendation to fund the three unimproved beach access. VIII. Adjourn Motion to adjourn, Mr. Rice.
