Join Us for a Learning Together: Biking and Birding the Seabrook to Kiawah Bike Path – August 31
Grab your bike and join us as we bike and bird along the bike path from Seabrook Island’s Lake House through Freshfields to Mingo Point on Kiawah. The path is paved and borders wooded areas, marsh and fields. Mingo Point has bird feeders which always has a variety of birds including possibly some migrating warblers. It also has access to the Kiawah River for sitings of shorebirds.
Join SIB Executive Committee Members Melanie Jerome and Judy Morr for this biking and birding trip along the bike path. We hope to see shorebirds like egrets, herons and Roseate Spoonbills in the tidal marsh areas. We will listen for passerines hoping to catch a glimpse of those heading south for the winter. And birds of prey are common to see flying overhead. Be sure to bring binoculars, camera, hats, sunscreen, bug repellant, snacks, and water.

GOMC Minutes for July 30, 2019
The General Operating and Maintenance Committee (GOMC) met on July 30, 2019, and the following minutes were provided:
1- Summer intern presentation of the “Flood Surge Viewer”; a digitized depiction specific to individual properties, of recent past flood events. The Viewer does not factor in wind or drain connectivity, and uses Charleston Harbor tide data. The committee discussed current surge mitigation features, most of which relate to vegetation, sand dunes, nearby ocean/river barriers (e.g. Deveaux Bank). The committee recommended using the interns, who did an excellent job, to assist in developing a private presentation for the POA Board, and then, using the Board as a “focus group,” a presentation for the property owners and other interested parties (e.g. the Town).
2- Boardwalk 3A renovation: the committee approved a recommendation to replace old decking into a shell-sand path at a cost of $6,000. The path does not need to be elevated, and access to a generator will be much improved. Steve Hirsch will contact property owners adjacent to the path.
3- Community Center roof replacement: the committee recommended a $20,000 expenditure be proposed for the 2020 capital budget to replace/repair the Community Center roof and gable because of serious leaks.
4- A signage request from Horseshoe Cove will be referred back to the proposers.
5- The joint drainage study is underway, on schedule. SIPOA (Steve Hirsch) monitors progress. There are no deliverables until the project is much nearer completion.
6- Lake House HVAC system (pool): Outside consultants have recommended replacing the system which is nearing its projected life. Piece by piece repairs, which would be required to keep it operating, are expensive. Replacement would cost effective. GOMC recommends that the Dectron unit be replaced in 2020 requiring an expenditure of $220,000 in the 2020 capital budget.
7- Old business: The Kayak launch construction is still delayed awaiting permits.
8- New business – none
9- Motions for the Board – none
The meeting adjourned at 11:50 a.m.
