Mr. Wesley Davis presented this item and
provided pictures of the beach access mats at Tybee Island
Beach. He stated that the mats requested are light
weight and can be picked up to shake the sand off. Commissioner Keller commented that there is
no handicapped access to the southern portion of the beach and that Myrtle Street is a
logical location to place the mats since there is handicapped parking at that
location. Commissioner Johnson asked how
many accesses the County is required to make handicap accessible. Mr. Gary Moore, County Attorney,
stated that the County must make
reasonable accommodations for the handicapped.

out. The following motion made by
Commissioner Thaw and seconded by Commissioner Keller passed unanimously.
Recommend authorizing the Recreation Director to purchase and install five
(5) ADA
compliant beach access mats for placement at three (3) beach access locations
with funding to be determined by staff.
