The Committee was impaneled by the City Council in order to:
Review current and future vulnerabilities to the City’s levee system and associated access routes, utilities and fire suppression systems.
Review recommendations from Stetson Engineers and others as to how best to protect the City and its residents from the effects of sea-level rise, storm events and seismic activity.
Consider opportunities to supplement protection activities with nature-based options that have proven useful in other locations, particularly in dealing with the effects of wave run up and storms.
Provide advice to the City Council as to how best to proceed.
