Siesta Seen show. "We hope to continue to do it for many years to come," she added of the event. BEACH ACCESS 1 UPDATE On May 28, James K. Harriott Jr., the county's chief engineer, provided the county commis- sioners an update on plans to create parking spaces along North Shell Road, where Beach Access 1 is located. Since the board members approved the park- ing plan on April 9, he wrote, "we have been discussing with two property owners some modifications to a couple of spaces. Although, the property owners suggested changes that would maintain the 16 parking spaces on the approved plan, we could not accomplish the changes without creating other undesir- able problems." Harriott added that as of May 28, "it would appear that everyone is settled on the plan approved by the Board … We are currently finalizing negotiations with the contrac- tor. Included in those negotiations is the length of time it will take to complete the project. All indications are that construction will take less than a month. We will notify the Board and property owners once we have a firm date on the start of construction and completion date." HELP WANTED Sgt. Scott Osborne, who heads up the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office's Community Policing Station in Siesta Village, is in need of new vol- unteers to help staff that office, he told me this week. Volunteers work in three-hour shifts, he explained. He needs someone willing to man the desk on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Mondays from 1 to 4 p.m. The volunteers answer the phone and assist walk-ins, Osborne pointed out. Anyone interested may stop by the office in Siesta Center and fill out an appli- c a t i o n . A l i m i t e d b a c k g r o u n d c h e c k is part of the process, Osborne said.
