Dune Restoration Project: Dismantle Dune Crossovers. Dr. Gillen stated this applies to

demolition, disposal of debris and purchase of wood. Mr. Stewart stated a mobi-mat will be at
18th Street and dune construction will begin in January 2019. Ms. Doyle recommended the City
do a press release regarding the crossovers and dune construction as there will be limited

bathroom at 17th Street. Dr. Gillen will look into this and get back to him. Ms. Doyle and Ms.
Sessions expressed their concerns with notification of the businesses on the South-end as to

everyone involved. Wanda Doyle made a motion to approve. Monty Parks seconded.
