FLORIDA SHORE & BEACH PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION INC. Last July 1, Dr. Robert Dean was appointed as Director of the State Division of Beaches and Shores. He thus became the first professional coastal engineer ever to head that agency. He has done a marvelous job this past year which was culminated by a proposal, now pending in the Legislature, to completely revamp the state's erosion control program into a statewide beach management program. Despite Dr. Dean's significant contributions and leadership, there is a possibility that his contract as Division Director may not be renewed July 1. In my opinion, this would constitute a major setback to the state's beach program. I know your office has worked with Dr. Dean and you know first hand how valuable he is to the program. At this point, the best way to assure Dr. Dean's continuation as Director is to get the support of Governor Graham. Please write a letter to the Governor urging him to make sure that Dr. Dean's tenure is extended for another year. W Better yet, get your board to adopt a resolution to that effect. You should send carbon copies of your letters or resolutions to Dr. Elton Gissendanner, Executive Director of DNR. I want to emphasize that Dr. Dean has no idea that I am writing this letter. But I feel strongly that we need Dr. Dean for at least another year. Please don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions.
