Great Lakes Dredge & Dock won the bid to pump sand onto the beach. They will pump from Flamingo Ditch north, then from Flamingo Ditch south, and finally relocate equipment to the north end of the beach and pump sand to meet the parcel already complete. • Getting sand. The hopper dredge, Liberty Island, will be utilized during the project. This 315-foot vessel has a hopper capacity of 6,540 yards of sand, with a nominal digging depth of 108 feet. It uses one stern anchor and two bow anchors and will be stationed about 10,000 - 12,000 feet offshore using a booster system. Hopper dredges are designed to vacuum material from he sea floor through drag arms that load the material into the hold of the vessel. • Background: This is the third restoration of Venice Beach since 1996 in accordance with the city’s agreement with the corps to renourish every 10 years for 50 years. The original nourishment in 1994 and 1996 added 250 feet of sand seaward of the high water line and what then was a minimal stretch of beach due to erosion. The restored beach serves to preserve nat- Venice City E-News ural and manmade infrastructure from erosion, tropical storms and hurricanes. It also serves to provide more sand for endangered sea turtles, which normally nest on the same beach where they hatched, to find sufficient areas for nesting. Several species of shorebirds also nest along the beach. And, of course, the beach is essential to the area’s greatest economic driver, tourism. • Sand. A dredge will bring sand close to shore from a borrow site about 9.4 nautical miles offshore from the southern limits of the project, then pump it through submerged pipes onto the beach. Special screens filter unwanted materials at the dredge and again at the end of the pipe. Once the sand is on the beach, heavy equipment is used to spread it to fill in the beach template. Surveyors and inspectors will monitor the sand and its placement to ensure it meets specific standards for Venice Beach. • Where will sand go? About 3.2 miles of shoreline will receive around 791,000 cubic yards of sand. • When will the work take place? The work will take place 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to expedite the project, which is expected to be completed in three months, barring unforeseen delays. • Noise. There will be noise from pumps, the use of heavy equipment and backup alarms. The direction of the wind and other factors may influence the way in which the noise is perceived. 4 • Watching the action. the process of renourishment is quite interesting to many people. It is important that people respect the signs and markings designating safe areas from which to watch the activities in the work zone. boaters should also refrain from entering the work zone in the water. • Protecting the environment. The City of Venice will monitor sea turtles and shore birds for their safety during the project. Since this is not the nesting season for sea turtles they will be less likely to be affected by the project. The hopper dredge will use a deflector to protect sea turtles from harm. Coral and other bottom sea life will be surveyed and photographed in advance of the project and dredging and piping will be done with consideration for these environmental areas. For questions and concerns, call Marketing and Communications Officer Pam Johnson, (941) 486-2626, ext. 24005. Fun Fact: A nautical mile is based on the circumference of the planet Earth. If you were to cut the Earth in half at the equator, you could pick up one of the halves and look at the equator as a circle. You could divide that circle into 360 degrees. You could then divide a degree into 60 minutes. A minute of arc on the planet Earth is 1 nautical mile. This unit of measurement is used by all nations for air and sea travel. A nautical mile is 1.1508 miles or 6,076 feet.

City of Venice Mission Statement To provide exceptional municipal services through a financially and environmentally sustainable city with engaged citizens. Vision Venice is a vibrant, charming, historical community in which to live, learn, work and play. January 2015 Venice City E-News 8 New bike lanes call for awareness of rules of the road The city of Venice is proud to be a Silver Bike Friendly Community and is working toward making biking a safe mode of transportation and healthy exercise. Several streets have recently been marked with bike lanes and sharrows. A sharrow is a reminder that cars must share the lane with bikes and keep a constant lookout and awareness of bicycle traffic. A bike lane is specifically marked for bicycle traffic only. Stopping, standing or parking in these lanes is prohibited. Cars may pull over to the curb in a bike lane momentarily to drop off a passenger, but may not vacate the car in that spot. Residents of Venice are encouraged to enjoy biking in this beautiful coastal community. They are especially encouraged to learn the rules of safe biking, as are vehicular drivers encouraged to learn the rules of the road for sharing the streets with bicyclists. This includes understanding that when riding a bicycle in the street, the rules for bicyclists are the same as they are for drivers of vehicles. That is, ride on the right side, use hand signals for turning, and obey traffic signals. When riding a bicycle on the sidewalk, pedestrians have the right of way. Always use a bell or other audible signal, including a polite “on your left” warning as you ride up behind a pedestrian on a sidewalk or crosswalk. If a sidewalk is congested with pedestrians, the bi- cyclists should use the street. Venice is fortunate to have more than 12 miles of bicycle and hiking trails that one can take all the way to Sarasota without ever encountering a motorized vehicle. When driving a car, avoid the bicycle lane, watch for bicycle traffic and give a few feet of distance between the vehicle and bicycle when in a marked sharrow and on other roads. Bike and drive safely. To learn more about safe biking, plan to attend the free Smart Cycling classes on the second Saturday of each month. See Page 11. Some free and low-cost health services available from the health department The Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County's Health In Motion Mobile Medical Unit staff will provide free and low-cost health services in January. The services offered through the mobile unit include diabetes education and screening, blood pressure tests, pregnancy testing, HIV testing, body mass index (BMI) measurement, and health education.

Many of these vaccines are available at no-cost to adults who qualify. There is a fee for some services. The staff is now able to accept credit or debit card payment via VISA, Mastercard, and Discover. The staff assists those who lack medical insurance and do not have a health care provider to find a medical home for ongoing health care. No appointment is needed. Some services are free, including HIV rapid testing with results in 20 minutes and tobacco cessation referrals to any of the three no-cost options offered by Tobacco Free Florida's 3 Ways to Quit. Other services are provided on a sliding-fee scale based on income. A registered nurse is available at all sites.

Once all comments are and the community from the risks associated received and addressed, Sarasota County may adopt the maps. By law, federally regulated or insured mortgage lenders require flood insurance on properties that are located in areas at high risk of flooding. Even people living outside of highrisk areas can experience flooding, which is the most common and costly natural disaster in the U.S. That’s why everyone, regardless of their flood zone, should take steps to financially protect themselves from a disaster which affects far too many communities each year. The primary way to do that is by purchasing flood insurance. It’s available at affordable rates through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a voluntary program administered by FEMA. Standard homeowners, business owners and renters insurance policies don’t cover flood damage, so flood insurance is an important consideration for everyone. NFIP policies can be purchased from any state licensed property and casualty insurance agents who people already deal with for other property insurance needs. Visit www.floodsmart.gov for more information about flood insurance and to locate a local insurance agent.

Frank, a miniature schnauzer, had a little adventure Dec. 16. A couple spotted the little pooch, alone and on the run, in the area of Border Road and Jacaranda Boulevard. They decided to take him to the Venice Police Department. There, Records Clerk Kelli Peyton checked Frank’s tags and called the number on the Home Again website, enabling her to find Frank’s owner. Soon April Speyer arrived at PD to claim her furry friend. “This is the only child of mine who has ever landed in jail,” Speyer told police when she expressed her gratitude for finding Frank.
