BSV Owners--Please Click on the "Our Beach" link for the latest map view and statement approved by the board that you might want to share with your guests!  The County voted recently "against" the "Managed Vendor Program" for now, at the Eastern Lake Beach Parcel, but we still have a large public beach that we must promote as much as possible!  We also have several parcels of "private owner-managed" space along the Gulf of Mexico, just west of the boardwalk past the  "white" duplexes (this is good news for us even though its only 20 feet from the waters edge.  It's still 8 houses or so x 20 feet in depth each; and that is a large area; use is daily from 9-4 each day.  We need to continue to promote all of this --including the new beach shuttle and the hours of 9 am - 5 pm.

Received mine yesterday and there is a .467% proposed increase. I really find that strange considering how much tax base they brought into the county that amounts to almost a $500 increase.

It was a very arduous 4+ hours before we got an opportunity to talk about the Peter Russell property. You can go on YouTube and search on Walton county Florida commissioners meeting December 14 and it will bring up the whole meeting. Believe me you do not want to suffer through the whole thing like we did. At about four hours and 20 minutes is when people were able to comment on the proposal for acquiring Mr. Russell's property. Gary Shipman talked earlier, But we were not allowed to speak on an issue unless there had been a motion made on that issue. Out of the four hours and 30 minutes for the meeting we addressed about 10 minutes of it.  We had a few other people not from Beachside Villas also speaking on the proposal.  There is a full article as well on the nwfdailynews.com website.  One good thing decided at the meeting.- The commissioners voted to establish new districts and now two of the five are south of the bay, so south Walton actually has some representation.  The next meeting which is where a decision will be made on the Peter Russell property acquisition is December 28th.  

Below are a couple of programs might be of interest to you. If either of these programs sound like something you could qualify for, apply online through the URL listed, contact your CPA or both. More information is located in the “Library Section” in the Financial Folder (2020) and Titled SBA COVID-19. The two programs currently available are:

1. Emergency Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) – This is a loan based on Gross Revenue. It is a 3.75% loan with 30 year terms. There is a Grant embedded in this loan of $10,000. Basically, when you apply for the loan, the Grant will be deposited into your bank account within three (3) days. The Grant does not have to be paid back, even if you don’t get the loan if it is used to pay employees, mortgage or lease payment, supply chain disruption and repaying other obligations. It has to be file for on-line (copy and paste the URL below if it does not execute): https://covid19relief.sba.gov/#

• You will get the $10,000 grant directly deposited into your bank account in approximately 3 days if eligible. You will need to keep detailed records of how you spend this money over the next 8 to 12 weeks. The SBA will then request those records and as long as you spent at least $10,000 on the allowable expenses, you can keep the $10,000 whether you are approved for the loan, or not.

• As for the loan, they are saying it is going to take approximately 30 days to process the application. They may or may not contact you for additional information and you may or may not be granted the loan.

2. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) – This is a payroll-based loan only. Basically, the Government is loaning you money to cover payroll, rent & utilities. If at the end of 8 weeks from the start of the loan, you have paid out at least the amount of the loan in payroll, rent, and utilities, the loan will be forgiven. I have attached the application and the document requirements.
