North Beach Grill Status. Mr. Hughes stated the North Beach Grill has a re-inspection and the grade was much higher, 84. It is also his understanding their attorney will provide a

currently. Mr. Major would like a copy of any communication from the Chatham County Health Department for the record. Mr. Hughes confirmed.
Wanda Doyle
Tybee Island YMCA – Teen Cuisine/Cafeteria Equipment. Ms. Doyle made reference to a hand-out from 80 East and Sundae Café regarding new equipment in the cafeteria to be used for the
Teen Cuisine Program. They are proposing to add new equipment to kitchen area to enhance the use of the cafeteria. They are providing $14,065 toward this project.
Recommendation from Beach Task Force regarding Crossovers. This to be included with Mr. Wooldridge’s presentation.
Monty Parks stated the loan for the Tybee Post Theater is being considered “off the books” and the City has already waived payment on one of their 6-month payments. Mr. Parks recommended
forgoing the receipt of payment and call it even. He explained the City is to receive $1.00 per ticket and this has already been refunded to them. Mr. Garbett stated Ms. Hudson considers
this a bad debt and recommended a document of the status needs to be part of the record. Mr. Hughes concurred and recommended a document that reflects what is being done and what consideration
is going to the City as a result as effectively making these payments needs to be forthcoming. He further recommended an Addendum be added to the Agreement reciting additional opportunities
for the City to use so there is consideration flowing to the City. Ms. Doyle stated her concerns. Mr. Garbett would like a document stating what is occurring and should be addressed
in the budget cycle. Mr. Mayor concurred.
Ms. Doyle stated Mayor pro tem Brown request for a Second set of stairs (egress) was discussed at the Public Safety Committee meeting and will be sent to the Planning Commission for
their consideration. Ms. Doyle stated this applies to new construction only.
