There is a meeting for beach vendors on Feb. 3, 3 p.m. at the South Walton Annex (not a county commission meeting). I don't think it is a done deal on bids for vending for the regional beach accesses. The only time the commissioners discussed it was at a workshop, and they can't or don't vote on anything at those. They talked about bringing the issue up and possibly moving forward with it at their Feb. 9 regular meeting, but it remains to be seen whether it will be on that agenda. There was some opinion that it would be feasible to do the bids for regional beach accesses only in 2016, but the District 5 commissioner was of the opinion that the commission was already behind the 8 ball for the 2016 season. There was quite a bit of discussion about working on the new beach management plans this year with an eye to implementing them in 2017.
