Recommend designating Massengale Park, Coast Guard Station, Gould’s Inlet and Driftwood Drive as handicap accessible beach access points and remove 9^th Street from the handicap access list.  No other beach accesses will be designated as handicap accessible because of the difficulty and impracticality of the construction.  (Vote: 2-0-0)
