The request was presented, discussed, and approved by the Okaloosa Island Leaseholders Association at a meeting held November 11, 2013.

There is already a power pole there. Two numbers are on the pole and I do not know which is the actual Pole Number, so I am including both. 33225 51476 and a small metal tab with P 172776. This is a Very Dark corner as the closest light to the west is 160 feet away. The closest light to the east is at least 400 feet around a curve on a cul de sac. (that is 5 lots away). There are 4 permanently occupied houses in this area with one only seasonally occupied. There are 3 widows living here and it is very dark We would appreciate more light – especially with the influx of coyotes!!! Please forward this request to Gulf Power and permit an installation under the MSBU. Ann Forrester 614 Pelican Drive Ft.

CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 7:03 pm by President Paula Hudson. Commissioner Dave Parisot led the Pledge of Allegiance. Thirty-five (35) people attended, twenty-seven (27) people signed the attendance sheet. (Attachment 1) II. ROLL: Board members present were Paula Hudson, Desley Parker, Jim Simpson, Kathy Foster, Trisha LaBahn and Vince Bruner. III. ANNOUNCEMENTS: President Paula Hudson welcomed all those present and requested all speakers state their name, address and if they were members of the Leaseholders Association. IV. GUEST SPEAKERS: Dave Parisot /Okaloosa Co. Commissioner –District 2 Topics discussed were as follows: - Flooding on Santa Rosa Blvd.(SRB): The earlier work being done along SRB was interrupted due to work required in other parts of the county. Work is expected to begin again in the coming months. The County is expected to work with property owners and condo associations to complete the swales along SRB. - Block 14: Mr. Parisot unveiled the most recent proposed rendition of Block 14 by Genesis. An addition of expanded parking was pictured encroaching upon the natural area. Mr. Parisot and those present felt that the additional parking, which includes approximately forty (40) parking spaces, would adversely affect the wildlife. Commissioner Parisot planned to vote against the proposed additional parking at the next BOC meeting on November 19. Commissioner Parisot has heard that the creation of a Veterans Monument had also been suggested. Given the number of Veterans Monuments that already exist in the area, it would be nice to keep the area in a more natural state. IE: A Serenity Park, a place to enjoy the wildlife and gather your thoughts. The park would be dedicated to the Veterans of Okaloosa County. - Marler Park Boat Ramp: Three boat ramps are on site. When the project is completed, there will be twenty (20) additional parking spaces with 24 hour access allowed for the boat ramps. Due to design issues, the additional parking will be near the Convention Center, but will tie in to the boat ramp area. Access to the main area of the park will remain restricted to daylight hours only. - Wildlife Refuge Center: Commissioner Parisot met with Matt McGhee and Steve Christopher last week about moving a registered historical building on to the Block 14 location of the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge Center. The building would need to be brought up to code and approved and/or permitted by the Okaloosa Island Architectural Committee, the County Commissioners, the Florida EPA and the Army Corp of Engineers, etc. Dave Parisot wanted to assure those present that a situation like the Summer House in Navarre would “not” happen. Matt McGhee said the Center was in the early stages of planning for the move and would only proceed if the move was feasible Packet Pg. 564  and all state and federal requirements could be met. Mr. McGhee noted that the building has 4500 square feet and would be a great asset to the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge Center. In closing, Dave Parisot wanted Island residents to know that he will do everything in his power to keep the promises made to residents and the Audubon Society when the leases were signed for Block 14. Some of the questions asked of Commissioner Parisot were: When was the additional parking added to the plan? Which County Commissioners support the additional parking? Was the 1961 Park Dedication plan being followed? Was it legally binding? As to the covenants for Okaloosa Island, was the space being used as stipulated? Per Commissioner Parisot, he was unable to answer some of the questions because of Sunshine Laws. He did say that he thought there should be discussion about the expanded parking at the Board of Commissioners Meeting. Kathy Foster expressed concern that the once beautiful 50 acres that make up Block 14 were being picked apart by different entities. Some were concerned about the wetlands and the amount of paved area in the park and the impact on the wildlife. Commissioner Parisot ended his presentation with additional information about the feral cats that had been living at Marler Park. The cats have being trapped and relocated. He also reminded those present about the cost sharing with the new hotel being built on the Military land on Hwy 98 for a new and larger lift station. V. MINUTES: Mike Mitchell made the motion to accept the October minutes as printed in the November issue of the OIL Lantern. The motion was seconded by Trisha LaBahn. The minutes were accepted and filed. (Attachment 2 – page 3) VI. TREASURER’S REPORT: Jim Simpson gave the report (attachment 3) Assoc.
