The temporary positions will be utilized for 7 months each year beginning in late March and ending early October. The two new Parks Groundskeepers, in addition to collecting and removing the trash, can be used to remove beach chairs and umbrellas from the Island Beaches (spring & summer) each morning. In the Winter/off season months, they can work in Tourist Related, County Beach Parks. A used County Parks Tractor will be utilized on Okaloosa Island to pull the sand rake. In addition a proposal to purchase a new tractor is included in the costs above. The new tractor would be used in Destin. By having two tractors and two rakes, the mobilization of one unit from one location to the other will be eliminated. If Parks is designated to continue the beach cleaning, we would ask that we be allowed to park the tractor and rake used on the Destin Beaches at the Destin Airport. The one used on the Island would be parked at the Old Fire Station on the Island. The estimated costs do not include equipment maintenance costs. Miscellaneous employee costs (work boots, safety equipment, hand tools, work shirts, etc.) are estimated at an additional $2,000 per year. The temporary positions will be provided from a Temporary Work Provider Agency. *The tip fees are an additional cost that began in October 2013. Trash collected prior to October was taken to the transfer station where it was separated by Waste Management and then recycled at no cost. This process is no longer in effect, and all beach trash is subject to the tipping fee. 1759 S. Ferdon Blvd, Crestview, FL 32536 Office (850) 689-5770 Fax (850) 689-5786
