Newly elected Seabrook Island Property Owner President David Bauhs outlined his focus for 2011. They include, do everything possible to get the permitting approved for Cap’n Sams cut in order hopefully to execute in the winter of 2011-2012. To continue the implementation of Policy Based Government under which the staff has responsibility for SIPOA’S operation and for communication on operational matters to the Board. The Board, in turn, is responsible for oversight and policy decisions. There will be a fresh review of the Strategic Plan in 2011 which with the annual operation plans, will determine SIPOA’S direction. The Board will use the Annual Survey to solicit input for the strategic planning process and to create a “Sense of Place” plan. “While the Horizon Plan addressed our public buildings with an eye on requirements at build-out, there has been no such effort for other infrastructure on the Island, i.e. roads, parking etc.” A “Sense of Place” evaluation will establish a blueprint so that regular capital expenditures in the future will not be handled randomly, but will fit into a cohesive plan for development in keeping with the feeling of the Island.
