TO: Environmental Advisory Committee
FROM: Brad Freese, Chair EAC
DATE: 01/08/2025
SUBJECT: VOT EAC Workshop
As discussed in December the committee agreed that EAC would hold a meeting during
the evening to promote community participation and engagement in environmental
initiatives. This will not be a typical EAC committee meeting but rather an
informational opportunity for residents. I would like to confirm details and start
advertising this event as soon as possible. Your input is needed for the following:
1. Time/Date/Location:
We proposed to hold the meeting from 6:oo pm to 7:00 pm at the Tequesta
Recreation Center. Will need dates in March the space at the center will be
available so I can confirm presenter availability.
2. Title:
In the interest of time, we agreed to keep the content to one subject-Living
Shorelines. I need suggestions for a "catchy" title as many(I'm guilty) only read
the headlines. My suggestion: "Tequesta Living Shoreline Ordinance:
Understanding the Impacts to our Coastal Community."
3. Content:
I propose three presentations. a. Introduction to Living Shorelines-Jay
b. Natural and Engineered solutions-MANG/Reef Arches c. Example of Living
Shoreline in Tequesta-Peter DeWitt.
4. Advertisements:
I propose publishing a one-pager with meeting details and information in the
VOT weekly e-newsletter. To further engage those with potential direct impact, I
propose a hardcopy mailer to all waterfront property owners in Tequesta.
