39. Longboat Pass Inlet Management Study -- Executive Director Richard Spadoni for Coastal Planning and Engineering Inc. covered the optional plans, covered the distributions of dredged sands and the placement of groins that would be placed at each shore line. He showed the predicted coastal outlines and the beach extensions that their model predicted. All looked good to Manatee Commissioners and Longboat Key representatives; Dave Bullock, Town Manager and Dave Brenner Vice Mayor. They shared their long list of experiences and answered some questions. Coastal Planning Senior Coastal Director Thomas Pierro displayed each model and explained how they came to their conclusions. At this point, it's a go. -- Approved, 6 to 1, Commissioner McClash dissenting. McClash argued as he did in the previous workshop that not enough public input was taken, especially from boaters who frequent the pass. McClash made a motion to insert a 4'x8' sign in the waterway informing boaters that a vote was taken and that dredging would commence. It was seconded by Commissioner Michael Gallen after ardent oppostition from Commissioner Whitmore, but was voted down 4-2; Chappie, Whitmore, DiSabatino and Bustle dissenting; Hayes absent.
