Critical issues <br />will be discussed and policy formulated to guide future <br />management of the beaches and barrier island system. It is <br />important for each -local government to be represented. Local <br />government participation and perspective on issues facing these <br />resources is vital to this consensus building process. <br />The purpose of the American Assembly is to bring together <br />leaders, decision -makers, and citizens representing a variety of <br />views from. throughout the East Central Florida. The Assembly <br />will be made up of 100 delegates representing 33 interest groups, <br />and will deal with issues related to beach development, erosion <br />control, dune preservation, and hurricane cvacuatian. A <br />consensus will be developed that will guide the actions of local, <br />state, and federal programs for the next three years. A fact <br />sheet and schedule of the two day program are attached. <br />Your City's input and participation are vital to planning <br />and management of the beach and barrier island system along the <br />central coast of Florida.
