but was postponed due to some unforeseen circumstances. We have
not been given a new date for the bid opening as of January 12. We
requested $1,700,000 from Chatham County to fund the local portion
of the cost of the project. The County approved this request. These
funds are being allocated out of the voter-approved Special Purpose
Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) proceeds. The check for $1.7 million
was sent to the Corps several weeks ago and the ball is now in the
Corps’ court to move this project forward. It is our hope to buy extra
sand from the chosen contractor with state funds to build our dune
system. We will find out if the State allocated funds in the coming
weeks as the legislative session progresses.
The new bathrooms at Memorial Park are finally complete. We had
some issues with several of the sub-contractors that delayed the
project. We wanted to obviously make certain that what was being built
was what was promised by the contractor at the time the bid was
awarded. The project has now been completed. The restrooms are very
similar to those built in the north beach area a few years ago. The
project was funded with SPLOST funds. Our hope is to replicate this
design at the south beach area in the coming years. As we continue to
invest in these facilities, we continue to avoid dipping into our reserve
funds or borrowing money.
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is progressing. This is the Grant
that we hope will assist homeowners raise their homes out of the flood
zone. Our City Manager is providing an update at every City Council
meeting.
If you have any suggestions for improvement or questions, please
don’t hesitate to contact me at jbuelterman@cityoftybee.org or on my
