Attorney

Obtain shoreline engineering contract behind Bay Park erosion study

Why now: The record shows only "Discussed; no action taken" and a 0-0 non-vote across April 2, May 7, and June 4, with no authorizing instrument for the HDR assessment named anywhere in the file.

What to do: Pull the HDR task order or professional services agreement and the authorizing resolution to confirm which body procured the assessment and who must accept it. With three meetings producing no formal vote, ask whether this advisory committee's recommendation is a prerequisite to any shoreline construction or permitting step, or whether the work can proceed on the engineering contract alone.

Journalist

Press for Bay Park erosion study findings and cost

Why now: HDR was described as "currently doing an assessment" on April 2, yet the May 7 and June 4 meetings each closed with only a promise to continue the discussion and a 0-0 non-vote.

What to do: Request the HDR shoreline assessment scope, deliverable schedule, and invoices, plus any interim findings memo. The same erosion item has been carried at three consecutive monthly meetings with the study cited as pending each time and no findings ever entered into the record.

See Bay Park erosion repair options before one is chosen

Why now: Minutes state HDR is assessing "the best options to stabilize the shorelines" for Bay Park, but across the April 2, May 7, and June 4 meetings no option list was presented and no action was taken.

What to do: Ask the committee to release HDR's list of shoreline stabilization alternatives at the next monthly session — the choice between hardened bulkhead-style armoring and a softer restored shoreline determines whether your waterfront access, sightlines, and beach area survive construction. Once a preferred option is forwarded for design, public input narrows to construction timing rather than the fix itself.
