o Meet our featured employee of the month for July: Tammi Tahmassebi
Tammi has been a member of our Guest Services team in the GSTC Gift
Shop since 2015. Her main responsibilities are welcoming guests,
providing information and restocking merchandise.
Her favorite thing about working here is the beautiful drive! She
especially enjoys seeing the marsh bunnies and the occasional roseate
spoonbill. She says she never gets tired of the natural splendor of the
island!
Originally from Dusseldorf, Germany, Tammi speaks fluent German,
which comes in handy more than you would think! Her supervisor says
you can see the children's faces light up when she tells them about the
turtles in their native language.
We are so lucky to have you, Tammi! Keep up the great work!

HISTORIC PRESERVATION/CONSERVATION COMMITTEE
FROM:
BEN CARSWELL, DIRECTOR OF CONSERVATION
SUBJECT:
CONSERVATION UPDATE
DATE:
7/12/2016
Research and Monitoring
• Wilson’s Plover nesting season is winding up for the season with 16 nests documented so far.
Five of these nests made it to hatching, producing 14 chicks, none of which appear to have
survived beyond two weeks and were likely taken by natural predators. A sixth hatch is
anticipated today and is expected to be our last nest/brood for the season.
• The DNR Wildlife Resources Division unexpectedly refused to grant a permit for the planned
bobcat tracking research. We are currently redesigning our bobcat research plans to do
genetic and prey-content analysis of bobcat scat to try to move the ball forward in gaining the
necessary knowledge to potentially recommend conservation management actions to promote
and maintain a bobcat population on Jekyll Island. Eventually DNR WRD buy-in will be
necessary for this effort to be fruitful.
• On site meetings with the project Principal Investigators for the UGA plant/deer study were
held. We’ve laid a strong foundational structure for the Ph.D. student, who begins with UGA
in August, to build upon. In depth progress will begin at that point and I recommend that the
student give a preliminary presentation to the JIA Board once he’s up to speed this Fall.
Management and Planning
• Conservation staff participated in a cross-organization planning/evaluation session with the
goal of preparing to nominate the Georgia Coast as a Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve
Network “Landscape of Hemispheric Importance”. Jekyll Island would be part of this
designation if it goes forward. Partner requirements would primarily include committing to
shorebird conservation as an ongoing priority, which is already something we do as stipulated
by the conservation plan.
Outreach, Education, and Community Interface
• Our efforts this past Spring with the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for Golf Bioblitz, led
by Conservation Coordinator Yank Moore, proved to be very successful. Jekyll Island placed
in the top three for all categories of the competition including 1st place for number of
participants, 3rd place for total # of species counted, and 2nd place in the photo contest.

Author’s Weekend – 80 attended
On June 3-4, 2016, The Jekyll Island Museum, Jekyll Island Club Hotel, and Jekyll Island
Foundation partnered to launch two new books with an Author’s Weekend. The weekend
showcased two new releases about Jekyll Island by featured authors June Hall McCash, Jingle
Davis and Benjamin Galland.
Time Travelers Camp
From June 13-24, 2016, the Jekyll Island Museum hosted two weeks of summer camp for
children ages 8-12. The museum invited campers to travel through history and discover Jekyll
Island’s eventful past through daily field trips, games, and hands-on activities. This adventure
included outings exploring Colonial times, the Golden Age of Piracy, the Gilded Era, the Roaring
20s, and the 1950s.
Curatorial/Research

Island Foundation Descendants’ Project. Installation is anticipated to take place in July.
• Developing an interpretive exhibit on the Dolphin Club to be installed at the Jekyll Island Youth
& Learning Center on the South End of the island.
• Welcomed an intern from the University of Missouri-Columbia, joining the museum for 8 weeks
to assist with summer camp, exhibit planning, and processing of museum collections
• Fielded several research requests. This included assisting an author writing a historical fiction
book loosely based on the Wanderer, and helping a descendant of James Clubb locate his diary.

as part of her professional development

SUBJECT: GEORGIA SEA TURTLE CENTER UPDATE – JUNE 2016
DATE:

I fell in love with this place because they rescue, rehabilitate, and release sea turtles. Instead of a "zoo" or
"sanctuary" they actually care for these amazing creatures and put them back in their natural habitat. Check out the
sea turtles and hear their stories. They have a wonderful gift shop as well. Quote from Trip Advisor (June 2016)

The fiscal year ended with more than 102,000 visitors at the GSTC and Gift Shop reporting concessions
in excess of $1M, making it an incredibly productive year. June of 2016 compared to June 2015 showed
that the number of people for general admissions was down (over 30%) however admissions revenue was
only down 2%. Concessions sales were slightly higher than June 2015. While Guided tours was down
substantially the independent tours was up over 60% compared to last year. Behind the Scenes tours also
contributed to an overall lower Total Reservations compared to June 2015, and as well Memberships were
lower. Despite the lower numbers compared to last year concessions and admissions both exceeded the
budget figures.

Lease Description:
CSC Service Works, Inc will lease the laundry room at the
Campground for purposes of installing, operating and maintaining
Pay-per-use laundry equipment. The machines will be capable of

Term of Lease:
5 years beginning on 10/11/2016
Annual Rent:
JIA will receive 45% of income from machines less credit/debit
card fees, internet fees and other costs associated with equipment
as rental of the property
The current laundry equipment is almost 10 years old and needing frequent repairs. The current machines
also do not accept credit/debit card payments. This lease would include 9 new washers and 9 new dryers
with credit/debit card and cash payment options.
Our current commission rate is 50%, but is for a longer term lease. Based on our experience with the
current machines, we determined that 5 years was the longest we wanted to keep the machines, therefore
the commission rate is less on the shorter lease term.

Re: Jekyll Island Golf Master Plan
Proposal #216023
Dear Jones:
It was great speaking with you these last few months about the possibility of National Golf
Foundation Consulting, Inc. (“NGF Consulting” or “NGF”) coming in to help the Jekyll Island
Authority (“Authority”) plan for the future of its golf courses known collectively as the Jekyll
Island Golf Club. I think from our previous meetings, conversations and emails that we at NGF
have a good idea about what specific services are going to be required the help the Authority,
and these ideas are documented in the proposal that follows. We understand that the Authority
would like to retain NGF Consulting to provide the foundation for a plan that will help ensure the
long-term sustainability of golf within Jekyll Island, and that the review provided will be
comprehensive and cover both the operation and physical plant of the golf courses.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
NGF will complete a comprehensive golf master plan for Jekyll Island GC focusing on key
internal and external factors that drive the success of the golf enterprise. The five key areas of
NGF review will include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
External Market Analysis
Comprehensive Review of Operations
Comprehensive Review of Physical Plant
Operational and Physical Recommendations
Stakeholder Input
This proposal has been designed to provide the Authority with the appropriate information and
insights to assist in making key decisions about the future of Jekyll Island GC. The NGF is
mindful of recent changes to other aspects of Jekyll Island and the Authority’s desire to see that
the golf “brand” is a match with all that Jekyll Island has to offer. Although listed as the #5 key
element of our engagement, the NGF is proposing an extensive program of public/stakeholder
input to occur throughout the engagement period. The NGF will participate in several meetings
to allow Authority Board members and active users of the golf courses to provide insight and
direction to NGF in preparing our recommendations for the future of the Jekyll Island GC.
A summary of the consultants’ tasks and required fees and expenses are provided in the
following pages.
NATIONAL GOLF FOUNDATION CONSULTING, INC.
A Subsidiary of the National Golf Foundation
501 N. HIGHWAY A1A, JUPITER, FL 33477  (561) 744-6006  FAX: (561) 744-9085  www.ngf.org
Task One: External Market Analysis
NGF will identify the primary and secondary trade areas for Jekyll Island GC, and then analyze
key market demographic and economic factors, as well as the competitive supply/demand
dynamic for public access golf (municipal + privately owned daily fee), to assess the existing
and recommended market position for the golf facility.
Demographic and Market Supply/Demand Analysis
NGF Consulting will provide an overview of current and anticipated future golf industry trends,
based on our annual State of the Industry publication and latest proprietary consumer research.
NGF will also analyze the demographic profile of the southeast Georgia Coastal area and
identify relevant trends that are predictive of golf participation and activity. We will utilize
demographic research materials provided by NGF’s proprietary Golf Market Analysis Platform
(GolfMAP), which takes into account major factors that are influential in determining golf
participation rates, rounds demanded, and the number of golfers in a given market. This data
will be based upon local, regional and national markets, mindful of the destination nature of
Jekyll Island GC. This review will include:


Demographic and socioeconomic trends in the broader Georgia Coast area market including the large Jekyll Island area tourist/seasonal market - that have the potential
to affect the demand for golf at various price points. NGF will form a realistic picture
of the present and future status of the golf market, and identify any potential market
opportunities for Jekyll Island golf courses into the foreseeable future.
Key market demand and supply measures that are outputs of NGF’s proprietary Golf
Demand Model, such as total rounds demand, golfing households per 18 holes of
golf and golf participation rates. We will compare these measures for Jekyll Island
GC and compare them to regional and national benchmarks. This analysis will help
the Authority form a realistic expectation of the market support for Jekyll Island GC in
the short and longer term, and identify potential growth opportunities.
Competitive Analysis
NGF Consulting will document relevant local competition, with particular focus on the identified
primary competitors, to help establish the appropriate market positioning for Jekyll Island GC.
We will also identify potential future competitive threats, and make benchmark comparisons of
key metrics with other local resort areas such as Fernandina Beach or Myrtle Beach. For each
competitive location, we will assess key physical and operating characteristics, including:
location relative to Jekyll Island GC’s; facility types; market characteristics; rounds played (to the
extent made available); fee structures; food and beverage service; other amenities, etc. NGF
will document the supply of golf courses in each area market, with projections of changes that
may occur in supply of golf over the next five years (golf course closings, new course openings,
and renovations).
Benchmarking Analysis
The NGF team will provide a benchmark analysis to compare the expenditures for operations
and maintenance to other national and regional golf facilities with similar profile and operational
program. The NGF will utilize ongoing National Golf Foundation research into golf operations,
augmented by in-field local market research conducted specifically for this engagement.
Appropriate Configuration Findings
As a summary to the external market analysis, the NGF team will provide the Authority with an
estimate of the number of golf holes that are supportable at Jekyll Island, and begin to identify
any reconfiguration that may be required to meet the identified threshold of golf holes provided.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. – Proposal #216023 – Jekyll Island GC – 2
Task Two – Golf Operations Analysis
NGF will complete an initial “kick-off” visit to Jekyll Island (expected to be week of July 18, 2016)
to complete an on-site inspection of Jekyll Island GC, conduct interviews with key staff, meet
with selected stakeholders and collect documentation on the recent historical performance of
the facility. The operations review and subsequent analysis will give NGF the necessary
background to make recommendations that should result in improved economic performance.
The operations review will comprise the elements described below for Jekyll Island GC.
Golf Operations Analysis
The NGF Consulting team will review the operations of the Jekyll Island GC, including an on-site
visit/inspection that will involve key Authority personnel and club managers (Golf Course

1.1
INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS
Introduction
The Jekyll Island State Park Authority (the “Authority” or “JIA”) is seeking
proposals from qualified engineers with extensive experience in ocean-facing shoreline
protection and restoration projects to design, permit, repair/rehabilitate an existing
ocean-facing shoreline rock revetment on Jekyll Island, Georgia, along with associated
upland restoration and evaluation, design, permitting, and construction of engineering
alternatives to the revetment in select areas. The project area includes a maximum
extent of approximately 9,704 linear feet of shoreline as set forth in Exhibits A and B.
Within this area, a granite rock revetment currently armors the shoreline. The
revetment’s function as shoreline erosion protection is currently compromised, much
more severely at the northern end of the project area, due to a possible combination
of subsidence, displacement of rocks by wave action, and substandard construction.
The result is a rock revetment that is routinely overtopped by high tides that are
unrelated to storms. Upland erosion is occurring shoreward of the compromised
revetment and the severity of the erosion is likewise progressively greater approaching
the northern end of the project area.
Proposals responsive to this request should include all public engagement
design, permitting, and construction costs required to complete the proposed work.
This work may include a combination of revetment repair, addition of larger boulders,
and rebuilding to an appropriate and consistent peak elevation accounting for a
reasonable prediction of sea-level changes over the life-span of the structure.
Shoreward of the revetment, proposals my call for restoring eroded sand dunes and
upland sediment to create an elevated sand terrace that may be planted with
appropriate native vegetation and provide for public enjoyment of that space where
compatible with the primary project goals of shore protection and stabilization goals.
Proposals may also call for the evaluation, design, permitting, and construction of
alternative shoreline protection technologies in the zone identified in Green in Exhibit
B. Such alternatives, if proposed, should address the goals of slowing erosion of
uplands, capturing sand, and improving the status quo for availability of beach nesting
habitat for sea turtles.
Restoring the full-functionality of existing, compromised but still partiallyfunctional, revetment within budgetary limitations and the maximum project extent
identified in Exhibit B is the primary purpose of this project. Proposals should make
clear a commitment to a product that will not cause any negative environmental or
public-access impacts beyond those that may have resulted from the original
revetment project. Proposals that aim to minimize such negative impacts, improving
the status quo for environmental and public access conditions while still effectively
addressing the primary purpose, are preferred.
Further specifications for this proposal are outlined in the proposal package in
Section 2. Please pay careful attention to all requested items contained in this RFP.
Proposers are required to respond to all questions and provide all information
requested in the RFP. Proposals submitted which do not comply in all material
respects with the provisions of this RFP will be deemed non-responsive.

Draft Project Outline for the Jekyll Island Authority (JIA)
Comprehensive Disability Accessibility Assessment and Improvement Plan
Purpose:
The purpose for this proposed project is to update the JIA ADA Action Plan by
developing a Comprehensive Disability Accessibility Assessment and Improvement
Plan for the Jekyll Island Authority (“Plan”) to promote and enhance access and
inclusion for people with disabilities in recreation, leisure activities, and tourism offered
by JIA.
Recent History:
Over the past year, complaints have been filed concerning beach accessibility on Jekyll
Island. Over several months, a review of the applicable ADA regulations as well as
technical consultations with representatives from the U.S. Department of Justice and
U.S. Access Board, have occurred. Moreover, in response to a formal complaint filed
against the Jekyll Island Authority (JIA), the U.S. Department of the Interior determined
that the JIA was not discriminating against individuals with disabilities at beach access
points #32 & #38 (May 10, 2016). Before any complaints, the JIA was engaged in ADA
access improvements, however, as a result of the concerns additional time and
resources have been devoted to improved access.
The beach access challenge on Jekyll Island is not a matter of ADA compliance.
Rather, it is about working collaboratively to identify creative solutions that go beyond
the law’s minimum requirements. This is the approach the JIA has adopted to address
beach access issues, as well as disability access to its other programs, services, and
activities.
Proposed Project Start Date: September 15, 2016
Collaborating Agencies: Jekyll Island Authority, Georgia State Financing and
Investment Commission-State ADA Coordinator’s Office
Project Team Members: JIA ADA Team Members, GSFIC-ADA Staff, GSFIC-ADA
Consultant (proposed)
Estimated Budget Allocation: No cost to JIA for State ADA Coordinator’s services;
JIA’s implementation costs to be determined. 1
Estimated Total Project Hours Allocation: To be determined

Deliverables:
(1) Comprehensive Disability Accessibility Assessment and Improvement Plan 2
(2) Core ADA training curriculum for JIA’s key ADA Compliance Team;
(3) Provision of ongoing technical assistance to JIA’s key ADA personnel for the
maintenance and update of the ADA plan; and
(4) ADA-related training for JIA staff.
Introduction and Project Approach
As increasing numbers of people with disabilities visit our state’s vast array of natural
and cultural resources, including Jekyll Island, accessibility to the activities, facilities,
and events offered is critically important. The goal is equal opportunity and access in an
integrated setting. Everyone who visits Jekyll Island should be able to do so comfortably
and efficiently. To achieve this goal, this proposed project partners the Jekyll Island
Authority (“JIA”) with the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission - State
ADA Coordinator (“State ADA Coordinator”) to promote and enhance access and
inclusion for people with disabilities in recreation, leisure activities, and tourism offered
by JIA through (a) updating the JIA’s ADA compliance plan; and (b) identifying and
implementing best practices for designing or adapting JIA’s programs with the widest
range of users in mind.
Accessibility is a mandate covered in federal and state laws, standards, and regulations.
Title II of the ADA (Title II) covers the programs, activities, and services of public
entities, which include any state government and any of its departments, agencies, or
other instrumentalities. Title II states that “no qualified individual with a disability shall,
by reason of disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the
services, programs, or activities, of a [state government agency], or be subjected to
discrimination by any such [agency].”
Title II also directs state agencies to carry out specific methods of administration
enumerated in its implementing regulations to ensure compliance with the Act’s
mandate, which include:
2
The Plan formalizes JIA’s continuing actions to develop and increase meaningful disability access to its programs, services, and
activities. While the JIA proactively addresses accessibility on a regular basis, visitors have expressed ongoing concerns about
access to the beach. Although JIA’s current beach access is ADA compliant, this is an opportunity for JIA to look beyond the law’s
minimum requirements and advance its commitment to a customer-oriented culture that includes individuals with disabilities.
2
•
Designation of an agency ADA Coordinator to establish a single line of
responsibility and intra-agency coordination for the purpose of ensuring
that its programs, services and activities provide genuine, effective and
meaningful access to individuals with disabilities (28 C.F.R 35.107(a));
•
Development of the agency’s ADA self-evaluation (28 C.F.R. 35.105);
•
Development of the agency’s transition plan (28 C.F.R. 35.150);
•
Establishment and administration of the agency’s ADA informal grievance
procedure (28 C.F.R. 35.107);
•
Provision of public notice of the agency’s ADA-related activities (28 C.F.R.
35.106).
It is critical that state agency administrators, construction compliance specialists,
procurement officers, and facility operators understand and implement these basic
requirements. Accessibility laws and standards, however, only set minimum standards
for accessibility and accommodations. We want to rethink accessibility - not as a legal
requirement or unwanted mandate, but as the direct route to creating a customeroriented culture that includes individuals with disabilities and promotes full participation
and equal opportunity for everyone. Our challenge is to move beyond the minimum
requirements - and embrace a concept of universal design that serves everyone’s
needs and ensures designed environments that are functional, safe, and
accommodating. 3
The project outline includes four general phases:
•
•
•
•
Phase 1: Planning for ADA Compliance
Phase 2: Conducting an Updated ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan
Phase 3: Implementing the ADA Plan
Phase 4: Maintaining and Updating the ADA Plan as Necessary
The roles and responsibilities for JIA and the State ADA Coordinator, as well as
timelines to complete actions, will be established for each proposed action item. Each
action item is sequential unless otherwise indicated.
3
For some activities, other critical priorities, including environmental and endangered species protection
laws, must be considered when implementing accessibility solutions. Under these circumstances,
flexibility of approach is critical. In the spirit of collaboration, JIA will call on interested stakeholders from
environmental agencies and organizations, the accessibility profession, and the disability community to
develop a cross-disciplinary approach for addressing access challenges.
3
Phase 1: Planning for ADA compliance
Goal of Phase 1: Establish and train JIA’s ADA Compliance Team (lead and team
members) 4
1. Gather JIA’s key ADA personnel for coordination of the Plan and orientation to roles.
2. Identify each of the JIA activities, events, and facilities open to the general public.
3. Review current ADA-related protocol, policies, and grievance procedure.
4. Identify critical or time sensitive JIA ADA-related issues. Conduct outreach activities
with the general public to obtain feedback.
5. Deliver the next phase of ongoing training curriculum for JIA ADA Compliance Team
with a focus on conducting ADA self-evaluation and transition planning tasks.
6. Update informal grievance procedure and public notice.
End of Phase 1: The JIA ADA Compliance Team will be ready to carry out its
responsibilities.
Phase 2: Conducting an Updated JIA ADA Self-Evaluation & Transition Plan
Goal of Phase 2: Assess JIA’s current level of Title II compliance and disability access.
7. Conduct self-evaluations to identify potential barriers to access to services for
individuals with disabilities. 5
8. Identify potential new technologies and accommodation solutions to address
challenging accessibility issues.
9. Develop an access assessment, summary and action plan for barrier removal for
each of JIA’s activities, events, and facilities which includes:
4
While there is no requirement to designate a person in any particular position as an ADA team member,
it is critical to identify the right people for JIA’s ADA Team. When selecting team members, some
variables to consider are: (a) commitment to this initiative; (b) authority within respective division or office;
(c) experience working with disability-related issues; (d) knowledge of the programs offered; and (e)
strong organizational skills. Although familiarity with the ADA’s requirement is helpful, the State ADA
Coordinator’s Office will provide all necessary ADA-related training applicable to this initiative.
5
JIA and the State ADA Coordinator’s Office will review an inventory of JIA’s existing facilities (where no changes are planned) to
determine whether a consultant will need to be procured to conduct an updated accessibility assessment.
4
(a) current steps to address access barriers in accordance with JIA-identified
priorities;
(b) strategies for addressing those gaps in service delivery; and
(c) cost to implement the updated ADA Action Plan.
10. Share the proposed Plan with the general public for public input and feedback.
End of Phase 2: JIA completes assessment of their current level of Title II compliance
and disability access.
Phase 3: Implementing the JIA ADA Action Plan
Goal of Phase 3: Implement a comprehensive JIA ADA Action Plan.
Note - Timelines for action items 11-14 run simultaneously.
11. Revise and update the Plan in accordance with JIA-identified priorities.
12. Implement the Plan, including making accessibility-related alterations to facilities
(multi-year implementation). 6
13. Develop and/or update ADA protocols for collaborative partners, contractors and
consultants. JIA will identify ADA-related technical support and training needs for each
entity applicable to their public responsibility to JIA’s internal and external customers.
14. Provide technical assistance to JIA regarding the development of ADA protocols for
responsible collaborative partners, contractors and consultants. Provide technical
assistance related to technical support and training needs for each entity.
15. Provide ADA trainings to JIA staff/employees on JIA disability-related
protocols/policies.
End of Phase 3: The JIA ADA Action Plan is implemented.
Phase 4: Maintaining and Updating the JIA ADA Action Plan as Necessary
Goal of Phase 4: Ensure the JIA ADA Action Plan addresses ongoing needs at JIA.
16. Develop and utilize an ADA checklist when activities are added or modified within
each one of JIA’s offices, divisions or services.
6
This critical action will require coordination with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget to develop a comprehensive
approach to ADA-related capital planning.
5

JEKYLL ISLAND AUTHORITY SUMMARY
Recognizing that Jekyll Island’s natural beauty and vibrant history set it apart from any other
coastal retreat, the Governor and the Georgia State Legislature established the island as a state
park in 1948 and entrusted its care to the Jekyll Island Authority (JIA). The Jekyll Island
Authority is a self-supporting state authority responsible for the overall management and
stewardship of Jekyll Island.
On Jekyll Island our revitalization efforts have hit a crescendo. The new Westin and Holiday Inn
Resort have opened. The Convention Center continues to fill its schedule with new groups and
impress its visitors daily. Bike paths, golf courses, and beaches have never looked better, and
the new Beach Village is vibrant with shops, restaurants, and visitors. Along with all the
redevelopment, Jekyll has managed to maintain its impressive ratio of approximately 65%
undeveloped land. This pristine, beautiful, wild space is enjoyed by both wildlife and visitors,
and is a great example of the balance that can be struck between conservation and
development. Jekyll has never looked better and has never been more fun.
The Jekyll Island Authority has 16 Departments and 153 full-time and 140 part-time/seasonal
employees responsible for providing services to approximately 700 businesses and residences
that are dependent on the JIA for all municipal services, including water/sewer, roads, fire and
EMT services. In addition to a private contract through Waste Management, the JIA also
provides some garbage pickup. JIA employees also provide guest services including golf, tennis,
mini golf, waterpark, beach services, picnic areas, bath houses, landscaping, signature festivals
and events, park entertainment, Historic District & Museum tours, Georgia Sea Turtle Center,
and camp ground facilities to approximately 2.0 million visitors annually.
Throughout the year, the Jekyll Island Authority cooperates extensively with many state
agencies, especially OPB, DNR, DOT, AG, GSFIC, and DCA. The Jekyll Island Authority is
especially grateful for the support of Governor Deal and the State Legislature.

efficiencies, revenues and strategic direction. Enabling legislation drives a number of decisions in
planning and operations, including: operational self-sufficiency and development limitations. Historic &
2
DRAFT
natural resources of the island create limiting factors that impact the decision process as well. For
further assessment and strategic direction, additional studies are needed.
Measurable Objective 1: Overall Economic Impact of Jekyll Island
Strategy 1: Engage UGA Sellig Center to accomplish an Economic Impact Assessment of Jekyll
Island on Glynn County and beyond. Study to begin in 3rd Quarter of FY17 and to be completed
by end of FY17. Study will include impacts of JIA, business community, and Island residences.
Measurable Objective 2: Golf Master Plan
Strategy 1: National Golf Foundation will undertake a comprehensive assessment of golf on
Jekyll Island to allow proper planning for the future of Jekyll’s golf courses. This plan should
include external market analysis, comprehensive review of golf course operations, physical plant
assessment, operational and physical recommendations, and of course stakeholder input. Plan
will begin 1st Quarter of FY17 and should be completed by February 2017.
Measurable Objective 3: Infrastructure Assessment
Strategy 1: A comprehensive inventory of JIA infrastructure and thorough analysis of current
operational capabilities and capacities utilized will be accomplished. This effort will be
completed by the 2nd Quarter of FY17.
Strategy 2: Based on developed inventory and utilization information, a detailed study will be

estimated costs and time frames. This study will be accomplished by the end of the 4th Quarter
of FY17.
Measurable Objective 4: Hollybourne Structural Engineering Study
Strategy 1: Restoration of Hollybourne Cottage in the Historic District will continue during FY17.
Unfortunately, as the restoration continues, we have encountered concerns pertaining to the
cottage’s structural integrity. An engineering assessment of the materials and structure of the
cottage is needed in order to prioritize further restoration efforts. This assessment will be
accomplished by the 2nd Quarter of FY17.
Measurable Objective 5: Employee Benefits Review & Assessment
Strategy 1: Through the JIA Human Resources Department a thorough analysis of employee
benefits will be conducted with special interest in reducing the costs of health care and
retirement. Benefit programs are usually difficult to compare, and because of State and Federal
laws and regulations, any proposed changes may be cumbersome and difficult to implement.
However, an effort will be made to determine possible changes that could positively impact the
JIA Budget. To be accomplished by end of 3rd Quarter of FY17.
3
DRAFT
Measurable Objective 6: ADA Plan
Strategy 1: Working with the State ADA Coordinator of Georgia State Financing & Investment
Commission, an ADA Plan for Jekyll Island will be recommended to the JIA Board. In addition to
an update of recent ADA improvements and an assessment of facilities, activities, events and
services, the Plan will provide recommendations for immediate and longer term ADA
improvements. The outline for a plan will be accomplished during the 1st Quarter of FY17. Once
the outline receives Board approval, the formal plan would be accomplished before the end of
FY17.
Measurable Objective 7: Transportation Study
Strategy 1: The JIA is working with the Carl Vincent Institute at UGA to accomplish a
Comprehensive Transportation Study for Jekyll Island. This study will access the transportation
needs of employers, employees, visitors, and the JIA. The study will include recommendations
pertaining to connectivity among Jekyll Island, the mainland and St. Simons. Issues associated
with providing regularly scheduled service vs. occasional service will be researched and
recommendations given. It is anticipated this study will be completed during the 1st Quarter of
FY17.
GOAL 3 SUMMARY – SUSTAIN AND ENHANCE NATURAL RESOURCES
Measurable Objective 1: Protection of northern shoreline of Jekyll
Strategy 1: Engineering assessment of the present situation and recommendations for a
solution to the worsening problem. In additional to evaluation of the present problem,
the engineering study may include: design, permitting and construction of alternative
shoreline protection technologies. Assessment to begin 1st Quarter of FY17 with
completion by end of 2nd Quarter.
Strategy 2: Implementation of the recommended engineering solution.
Implementation anticipated to begin 4th Quarter. Total project costs not to exceed $4.0
million.
Measurable Objective 2: Restoration of Fortson Pond
Strategy 1: Preliminary assessment have documented hypoxic conditions in Fortson
Pond at Jekyll’s entrance. These conditions are believed due to a chronic
overabundance of cyanobacteria that generates decomposing, oxygen-consuming
gelatinous sediment. Few species of birds, fish, reptiles, or aquatic mammals, have been
4
DRAFT
observed utilizing the pond, an indication of impoverished habitat value at multiple
trophic levels. Fortson Pond also negatively impacts tourist experiences and perceptions
of JIA stewardship. JIA is therefore highly motivated to research, evaluate, and pursue
restoration strategies for the area. An application for a Coastal Incentive Grant has
been submitted. Grant approval is anticipated. If received, engineering assessment
would begin 2nd Quarter of FY17. Once final solution is determined, JIA will assess
construction funding options.
Measurable Objective 3: Ecological research evaluating the stability of barrier-island nativeplant populations exposed to multiple stress factors
In July 2014, a JIA Conservation staff report concluded that the deer population on the island is
too large and likely negatively impacting other elements of the island ecosystem. At that time,
the Conservation staff recommended that population control measures to be taken.
The population seems to be relatively stable at this high level and recruitment rates low.
However, the JIA is interested in avoiding a myopic focus on the single stressor of deer
herbivory. The JIA is specifically interested in evaluating the effect of herbivory in relation to
other environmental stressors, such as climate change, hydrologic changes, invasive plants, and
human activity that may be affecting locally rare or otherwise important native species.
Strategy 1: The JIA has been surveying the white-tailed deer population on Jekyll Island
for 5 years with a combination of spotlight and camera surveys and estimates the
density of deer on the island has averaged over 80 deer per square mile during that
time. Timeframe: On going.
Strategy 2: 4-year contract with the Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources at
UGA to study environmental stressors and priority plant communities on Jekyll Island,
including interacting effects, stakeholder values, and structured decision modeling.
Study has been underway now for 6 months and will continue throughout FY17. Funded
entirely by the JIA.
Measurable Objective 4: Assure Construction does not harm the natural environment.
Strategy 1: Review all construction projects for environmental impacts. Utilize specially
appointed environmental committee to review construction proposals. Make
appropriate recommendations for green enhancements and environmental protection.
Ongoing throughout FY17.
Strategy 2: Inspect construction projects for compliance with JIA ordinances and Design
Development Guidelines, as well as State and Federal Environmental regulations.
Throughout FY17.
5
DRAFT
Strategy 3: Review and recommend revisions to JIA Ordinances. To be completed by 2nd
Quarter.
Measurable Objective 5: Reforestation
Strategy 1: As trees die and are damaged, it is important that they be replaced to
continue the maritime forest and other naturally forested areas on Jekyll. Throughout
FY17, JIA will be growing Live Oak and Pine seedlings from existing trees for planting on
Jekyll Island.
Measurable Objective 6: Conservation Education & Recognition
Strategy 1: Continue adaptive development of educational and volunteer opportunities
through the Georgia Sea Turtle Sea, JIA Research Department, and other appropriate
groups. Programs to include Annual Green Screen Event, on-going Audubon
Certification process of Jekyll Island Golf Courses with volunteer involvement, Tree City
USA Certification and Bicycle Friendly Community designation programs, wildlife
educational programs such as Gatorology 101, turtle walks, and monitoring, Georgia Sea
Turtle Center enhanced distant learning transmissions, Sea Turtle Camp. In addition to
the public education components, specific conservation programs will education more
than 100,000 persons during FY17.
GOAL 4 SUMMARY – HISTORIC RESOURCE PRESERVATION AND
ENHANCEMENT
Measurable Objective 1: Historic Structures Assessment
Strategy 1: The Jekyll Island Authority attempts to preserve and manage 35 historic
structures and 7 support structures in the National Historic Landmark on Jekyll
Island. The Jekyll Island National Historic Landmark District is actually larger in area than
Colonial Williamsburg (173 acres). All facilities within the Historic District will be totally
assessed pertaining to their condition, improvements needed, and any special ADA
requirements. This assessment will be completed during the 1st Quarter of FY2017.
Measurable Objective 2: Adaptive re-use of Villa Ospo and/or Villa Marianna
Strategy 1: Explore options for higher and better use of two vacant villas within the
Historic District that are not part of the active tour. These villas are mostly vacant
today, except for a couple of JIA offices and archives. It would be more advantageous
for JIA to have a paying tenant located in one or both of these facilities. During the 1st
6
DRAFT
Quarter of FY2017, we will engage a commercial broker for assistance in promoting the
availability of these facilities to appropriate entities.
Measurable Objective 2: Improved sustainable business model for Historic District operations
Strategy 1: Even though the Jekyll Island Authority budgets annually for operation and
maintenance of the Landmark District, based on size and facility needs, it is impossible
for revenues generated from Historic District tours and activities to cover the costs
associated with preserving, restoring, and maintaining the District and its structures. In
FY2016 the JIA budgeted $1,155,474 for the District and in FY2017, JIA has budgeted
$1,428,465. Once completed, the new Mosaic museum should provide a boost to
Historic District revenues. However, the challenge remains. Secure an additional 3 tour
bus operators through the Historic District in FY17.
Strategy 2: Expand public programming in the Historic District. New program options
may include wine walks, improvements to the Rockefeller experience, more period
dress for interpreters. Consideration of broader audience including kids activities,
school programs, hands on archaeological research & learning for adults. End of 3rd
Quarter.
Strategy 3: Previously, the State of Georgia has supported the Jekyll Island National
Historic Landmark District. In FY 2005/06, the State invested $3.0 in GO Bonds primarily
for circulation improvements and paving in the Historic District. In FY2006/07 the State
invested $200,000 in development of the $2.8 million Georgia Sea Turtle Center
project. And, finally as part of island wide revitalization in FY2010, the State of Georgia
invested $1.5 million in the rehabilitation of the JP Morgan Center as part of a $3.5
million public-private partnership. JIA will request State funding to assist in
accomplishing capital improvements and historical structure rehabilitation that
otherwise cannot be accomplished.
Measurable Objective 3: Relocate tour operations and related services to temporary facility
Strategy 1: Because the Mosaic will be under construction by the 3rd Quarter of FY17,
Historic District tour operations must be relocated. This relocation must occur during
the 2nd Quarter in order to be fully established by the time construction on the present
site begins.
7
DRAFT
Measurable Objective 4: Historical interpretation beyond the Historic District
Strategy 1: Design, prepare, and install 1 main interpretive exhibit in the new
auditorium at the Youth & Learning Center and 7 wayside outdoor interpretive panels
on the Youth & Learning Center Site and adjacent to the site. Installation to be
completed by beginning of 2nd Quarter of FY17.
Strategy 2: Design development of Wanderer exhibit replacement. To be completed by
3rd Quarter.

Measurable Objective 5: Traditional Media coverage
Strategy 1: The number of stories about Jekyll Island generated or secured and the total
number of associated impressions are important to the overall image and promotion of
Jekyll Island. The JIA Marketing Department will continue its media outreach
throughout the year.
Measurable Objective 6: Convention Center groups
Strategy 1: The new Jekyll Island Convention Center coupled with the opening of the
Westin and Holiday Inn Resorts have attracted the interest of meeting planners. The JIA
Sales Department has a comprehensive strategy for promoting Jekyll to group business.
(attached) Sales efforts are constant. Sales numbers are tracked monthly and
comparisons of won and lost business reviewed. These efforts will be ongoing for 2017.
Strategy 2: Our Convention Center staff promotes the facility for local and regional
activities and events. During the previous 12 month period, this business was
significant. Again in 2017, we will attempt to secure as many local/regional events as
possible. An increase of five additional local events over 2016 is a goal.
GOAL 6 SUMMARY – EFFICIENT, COST EFFECTIVE AND EXTRAORDINARY
