I am not the director. As I stated earlier our territory is PC to Pensacola. My role has been more about Fund raising, education, beach cleanup and new members. It seems we have issues on every corner. I will address this issue at the next meeting if you would like to attend? A couple of our members live in BMB so I am sure they would be more helpful then me. I need more info on the subject to comment. I was unaware this was a high-impact use. I was told this was a beach walkover that could be used by Redfish and the general public. I must say I like beach walkovers. Its how we get to the beach so we can go on our long walks.
Bobby J...who in the world told you this "pleasant gated experience" (as described by Orchard Group representives) was to be PUBLIC! This whole discussion has been about Redfish Village's attempt to provide a deeded gated beach access location for their owners, guests, renters and invitees!!! If you run the numbers, they will be dropping off 100 to 300 folks a day during the season on a 75 foot wide beach...that seems pretty high-impact to me, and your organization's charter states it works for low-impact beach use.
Bobby, your office is across the street from Redfish Village; on my walks I have even picked up you named sales sign after it was blown over and put it back up so folks could see your name as they drove down C-30A. How could you have not know what is going on across the street or in your own sales backyard? You are a well known and respected realtor here.

Bobby JBeach FanaticBlue Mountain beach4,041 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticAuthorThanks for picking up that sign. I know about the issue but have gotten many different takes on it. It is in my own backyard but please remember we have a territory from PC to Pensacola. Bobby the realtor should probably be more plugged into the issue but Surfrider is such a new chapter the focus has been on trying to keep the Chapter alive and learn about the whole territory. Jack S has talked about it and has let us know that the BMB homeowners are fighting this issue. Surfrider does not want to come out of the gate fighting every issue but be used more as a tool for the community to learn from. Commissioners can call a local chapter and ask what we have done in other areas. They have the history to provide some great resources of what the effects will be when we react before we think. My hopes is the commisioners will say "What did they do in Ca. when this issue came up"? We can provide facts.
As far as the issue being high impact and what I have learned today... Bobby the realtor does not support high impact use on these lots. I may learn more and change my mind but as I sit right now I do not support it. As far as the Surfrider group? I will consult at the next meeting and give you the groups take on the issue. I feel it will be the same as mine.
The positive of this thread is I have learned about something that I should have been looking at a little closer. It gets pretty overwhelming but BMB you bring up a good point. This is my back yard and If I want to be accepted in BM, I need to wake up (Recent Seagrove Transplant).
BMB, I will post the next meeting soon and I truly hope you make it out. I feel The Surfrider Group is looking out for all of our best interest and can only be a positive in every beach community.

For The Health Of ItBeach Fanatic364 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticIsn't this whole thread being read wrong. My understanding about surfrider and its efforts is one that would surely benefit BMBWalker and all of us who get access to BMB via the public access point. BMBWalker, this organization is an asset to you, especially from reading that you walk BMB everyday.

Bobby J...you might want to ask the Walton Sun for a correction. Here's a portion of their article about your organization:
"The Surfrider Foundation remains concentrated on beach issues such as water quality and beach condition. Staying focused on a few issues, rather than tackling too wide a range of topics, keeps the organization useful, said Bobby Johnson, another of Surfrider?s board members."
Any chance of getting that IRS identification number for Surfrider when you go into your office today or tomorrow? Just send it through the thread. Thanks.

What needs to be corrected about this statement from Bobby J? I just do not get what your gripe with Surfrider and Bobby J is. Do you not use BMB and the access everyday? What surfrider is trying to do is protect your rights to the beach, keep the beaches clean, and make our community better. Would you please esplain what you are really getting at.

John Rneeds to get out moreConflictinator6,782 postsJoined View profileMessageneeds to get out moreyes, please respond to peaboy, i can't wait.
it is amazing that some think that they have the skills to operate on the internets, when clearly TFM was not referenced. the incessant requests for something that is public record and quite easlily attained is one example. the numerous calls for a retraction/correction of something published in a periodical, another. the references via crossposting to unrelated threads, yet another. it's embarrassing to witness, yet quite amusing to watch, like the village gimp. BMBW, please continue posting, they're priceless, and are providing much entertainment.

SJ...I would like to look into Surfrider's status and the ID number makes it easier.
No, I'm not retired military. Are you?
BTW, I see nothing crass in your question. Why do you?

I just pulled several years' worth of 990's and other information (including this number you are so desperate for) on Surfrider in just a few clicks and types. Put a little effort into it and you may come across a little less jerky.

BMB,
I pulled the number from the internet. Very easy to get (95-3941826)
What part of the "comment" should I get Walton Sun to fix. Please be more direct. I have been as straight forward with you as I know how but feel like you are trying to find or look for something down the rabbit hole.... We are on the same team. Try to take a look at this thing that way.

Bobby J...thanks for the IRS ID number.
In post #9, the Walton Sun's David Magliano quotes you and then identifies you as a board member; board members are directors of organizations.
In post #68 I identified you as a director.
In post #70 you denied being a director.
I would think you would want the public to have the correct percecption of your position with Surfrider; since the Walton Sun has mistakenly put you in a leadership position at the highest level, I thought you might want them to correct the article.
