BEACH EROSION STUDY COMMITTEE
The Ad Hoc Committee to Study
Beach Erosion, established by PKS
Mayor, David Hasulak, and chaired
by Dr. Ruth Sweeny, has been meet
ing regularly to discuss short-term
and long-term solutions to the pro
blem of the increasing erosion of
beach and dune areas. Beach front
property owners are responsible
for their own property including
the cost of labor and material for
the protection and replenishment
of the dunes. The beaches, however,
belong to everybody; therefore,
these issues need to be addressed
with this in mind. A letter was
sent recently to beachfront pro
perty owners suggesting formation
of a separate organization, similar
to a "homeowners association" in
order to work as a consolidated and
unified body for the purpose of
permitting, purchase of supplies,
materials and labor. The response
to this letter was very positive
and the suggestions written on some
of the responses very informative.
The Ad Hoc Committee will be con
tinuing this endeavor. Future
articles in the "Shoreline" will
keep the public informed.
