On Jan. 27, Cheryl Gaddie, president of the Siesta Key Village Association (SKVA), told the News Leader, "I fully expect that [SKVA members are] going to want to follow the deci- sions of the SKA and the [Siesta Chamber]." A discussion will be on the SKVA's monthly meeting agenda for Feb. 4, she added. "I want them to speak for themselves," Gaddie said of her members. Regarding another aspect of the project, Wreford pointed out this week that the Corps could not remove from the project the three groins it has proposed for construction on the south end of Lido Key to help keep the new sand in place on the beach. Because of federal guidelines, he said, if the Corps eliminated the groins, the Corps would have to undertake a complete reworking of its feasibility study. Mora has said in public presentations that such a necessity would set back the project 10 to 15 years. COUNTY COMMISSION DISCUSSION In related news, Wreford told the News Leader on Jan. 27 that while the County Commission has scheduled its own discussion of the Lido Renourishment Project for March 18, he had learned from the Corps that the modeling and impacts analysis report community leaders have been awaiting on the project might not be ready until late February. He planned to confer with county administrative staff, he said, to determine whether the topic should be placed on a later agenda.
