He added that the Board needed to finalize and agree on that project list so that staff could obtain prices to know what the total amount of money would be to move forward with some or all of those projects.

It was noted that these two properties were different in that their shoreline construction was not in an easement, but was rather on CDD property.

The resident at 3308 Orinoco Lane (Tape Time: 0:36:24) made a few statements to the Board at this time relating to the seawall structure that was built on CDD property at the canal, the reason why it was built, and the options he had.
