repair and rehabilitation of the rock revetment on the north end of Jekyll Island. Engineering solutions will need
to be developed and proposed; and this will begin the process to remedy the situation on the north end. The funds
are a result of the $4M approved in the State Legislative budget and signed by Governor Nathan Deal. Mr. Hodges
asked for a motion to approve the request for sale of $4M GSFIC General Obligation Bonds. Mr. Krueger and
Chairman Royal moved to approve; seconded by Mr. Gross. Ms. Marjorie Johnson, Chief Accounting Officer
added JIA has been notified the bonds will be sold in June and funds will be available in July. The resolution is
the approval of the authorization of the project and the sale of the bonds. Mr. Hodges amended the motion. Mr.
Jones moved to approve the amended motion; seconded by Mr. Krueger. Unanimously approved.
Mr. Hodges called Mr. Daniel Strowe, Legal Associate, for an update on the previous request from AT&T for a
rent reduction (the Board had tabled this requests in two previous meetings to explore how to improve AT&T
service on the island). AT&T has withdrawn the request for a rent reduction and JIA is currently working on
further negotiations to improve services on the island and determine options to improve services in the Beach
Village area.
Mr. Hodges concluded his report. Vice Chairman Krueger asked if there was public comment. There was none.
Krueger, Chairman of the Historic Preservation/Conservation Committee called Dr. Brian Crawford and Dr. John
Maerz, University of Georgia (UGA) Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources for a report on Actionable
Science for the Jekyll Island Causeway.
Historic Preservation/Conservation Committee: Dr. Crawford introduced Dr. John Maerz, the principal investigator
from UGA, and summarized background information from a seven year collaborative research and decisionmaking effort to inform conservation management on the Jekyll Island Causeway. Dr. Crawford thanked the Jekyll
Island Foundation, AGL Resources Foundation, Warnell, Georgia Sea Turtle Center (GSTC) and JIA for their
support and partnership in the project. Monitoring data showed that diamondback terrapins around the causeway
were declining due to road mortality and nest predation from raccoons. Together with representatives from the
JIA and GSTC, state agencies, and local public groups, all steps in a decision-making process have been completed
to provide information for future actions to best address ecological, social, and economic goals. UGA and GSTC
researchers have monitored terrapin populations in two creeks adjacent to the causeway since 2010 and conducted
road surveys of females emerging on the road and struck during summer nesting seasons since 2009. Substantial
rates of road mortality (with 100-400 females killed per summer) have been observed and it is estimated the
population is declining rapidly.
To mitigate road threats, three management actions on the causeway have been investigated. Habitat management
(clearing of roadside hedges) increases scenic marsh views and also decreases nest predation, since predation is
higher in hedges than open areas. In 2011, a roadside barrier was constructed composed of nest boxes at the Cedar
Creek Bridge designed to prevent terrapins from emerging on the road and protect nests laid inside boxes from
raccoons. Lastly, two flashing warning signs were installed in 2013 to increase driver awareness during peak times
of terrapin crossing. Despite the effectiveness of each management action to reduce threats to terrapins, the
population was predicted to continue to decline within fifty years in the absence of additional management.
Since any management action on the causeway impacts people as well as wildlife, local stakeholders, including
public groups (JIA, Jekyll Island residents and business owners, GSTC, 100 Miles, Georgia Department of
Transportation, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and others), were engaged in a decision-making
process. Several meetings and an all-stakeholder workshop in 2014 have been completed to progress through each
stage. The process identified optimal decisions that consider stakeholders’ values as well as available information
from ecological and social research. Optimal decisions included roadside barriers with bike paths, on-road signage
and hedge removal. Thirteen-hundred visitors, residents, and employees of Jekyll Island were surveyed to gauge
3|Page
JEKYLL ISLAND-STATE PARK AUTHORITY
April 18, 2016
DRAFT
their attitudes toward management actions. These efforts revealed that stakeholders valued terrapin conservation,
driver safety, and road aesthetics, and doing nothing to resolve human threats to terrapins was the least acceptable
action. Jekyll Island’s terrapin population is declining without further action. Current actions are effective but not
effective in and of themselves.
Mr. Gross asked why turtles were attracted to the roads. Dr. Crawford answered research links these actions to
vegetation and the desire for turtles to get to higher ground to nest above the tide line. Turtles are attracted to
roads because they are the high ground on the causeway. Mr. Jones asked if there was environmental opposition
to clearing the vegetation on the causeway. Crawford answered that rotational clearing and vista opening of the
causeway has been conducted over the past four to five years. Most of the environmental community and
stakeholders supported this action.
Mr. Krueger thanked Dr. Crawford for his report and called Mr. Cliff Gawron, Director of Landscaping and
Planning, for an update on the Jekyll Island Club Hotel Beach Pavilion improvements. Gawron showed before
and in progress pictures of the project. A retaining wall was built to accommodate two large rain gardens to capture
run off and provide a seating wall. A small tabby plaza was added near the pavilion to provide an additional
gathering space for the public and ADA access from the parking lot to the bike path was added, which did not
exist prior to improvements. The project should only slightly exceed budget. Mr. Hooks added the Jekyll Island
Club Hotel participated financially in the project in a 50/50 public-private partnership.
Mr. Krueger asked if there was any public comment. Ms. Pat Overholt and Ms. Mindy Egan, residents thanked
Mr. Gawron and the crew for a beautiful job.
Mr. Krueger called Mr. Bill Gross, Chairman of the Personnel Committee.
Personnel Committee: Mr. Gross called Ms. Jenna Johnson, Director of Human Resources. Ms. Johnson presented
proposed changes and updates to the Employment at Will, Employment Categories and Introductory Period
policies.
The proposed changes to the Employment at Will policy clarifies that a letter extending an offer of employment
does not change the employees “at will” status. Mr. Gross asked for a motion to approve the change to
Employment at Will policy. Ms. Lynn moved to approve; seconded by Mr. Krueger. Unanimously approved.
The Employment Categories policy proposed change will update and clarify the definition of temporary and
seasonal employment. These are in accordance with the most recent guidelines provided by the Internal Revenue
Service and the Affordable Care Act. Mr. Gross asked for a motion to approve the update. To the Employment
at Will policy. Ms. Lynn moved to approve; seconded by Mr. Krueger. Unanimously approved.
The Introductory Period policy proposed change clarifies rehired employees will also serve a ninety-day
introductory period, just as newly hired employees. It also provides guidelines for introductory period performance
reviews so the supervisor can insure the employee is learning and performing job duties as expected. Mr. Gross
asked for a motion to approve the Introductory Policy update. Ms. Lunn moved to approve; Mr. Krueger
seconded. Unanimously approved.
Mr. Gross concluded his report. Vice Chairman Mr. Krueger asked if there were public comments. There were
none.

Vice Chairman Krueger called Ms. Joy Burch-Meeks, Chair of the Marketing Committee.
Marketing Committee: Ms. Burch-Meeks called Ms. Meggan Hood, Sr. Director of Marketing. Ms. Hood reported
the Spring Leisure Travel Campaign is underway and updated the Board on the engagement of the bloggers and
activity around their blog posts. In April 2015, Facebook had 79K followers and as of April 2016 followers have
increased to 120K. These followers heavily engaged in Jekyll Island. JIA Instagram followers have increase 500%.
The majority demographic is females between the ages 25 and 44 with most from the United States and Canada.
We continue to see growth from the Jacksonville market. Ms. Hood discussed the content that appears throughout
the social media channels that includes photos, promotions, historic/conservation features, press and events.
Ms. Hood reviewed the upcoming Beach Village event, Whiskey Wine and Wildlife, hosted and developed by the
Westin Jekyll Island with proceeds benefitting the Jekyll Island Foundation. Ms. Hood concluded her report and
Vice Chairman Krueger asked if there were any public comments.
Mr. Jim Reed, resident, announced that the Easter Egg Stroll was very successful this year and expressed
appreciation to various persons.
Being no further public comments, Vice Chairman Krueger moved to the Committee of the Whole and called Mr.
Jones Hooks. In June 2015, the Board approved Jekyll Ocean Oaks’ (JOO) concept for development on the south
end of the island just north of the Hampton Inn. Since that time, JOO has been working to refine the concept.
Mr. Jeff Homans, Owner, Land Design Associates Inc. was called to present the refinements to the concept plan.
Krueger noted to the Board that no action was required, as this was merely an update. Schematic drawings and
proposed lease terms will be brought before the Board for consideration at a later meeting.
Committee of the Whole: Mr. Gary Wadsten, Managing Partner, Carolina Holdings, has been added to the
development team. Mr. Jeff Homans, Owner, Land Design Associates, Inc. presented the update and refinement
of the JOO concept plan. The biggest notable change to the concept plan is a reduction in density and site
coverage, and the elimination of a four story condominium building. The development will consist of thirty-six
parcels with forty units (four parcels will contain duplex structures). In an effort to continue to marry growth
with ecological sensitivity, the architecture design elements will agree with the aesthetics of the island and the
preservation of the existing trees is a priority. Of the total 8.74 acres of the site, 6.27 will remain as open space.
28.3% of the site coverage of will include buildings, roads, an amenity center, pavilion and swimming pool. The
architecture proposed is traditional coastal southern architecture. Gross density dwelling units per acre is 4.57. Set
backs are tight to allow for placement around the existing trees, with ten feet between homes. The strategy of the
new concept is to create small footprints, with smaller structures that can easily be built around existing trees. Mr.
Hodges asked the anticipated build time? Mr. Homans answered it would be hard to say at this point but the plan
is to have consistent build out as opposed to phased development.
Mr. Krueger thanked Mr. Homans for his presentation and called Mr. Jones Hooks, for the Executive Director’s
report.
Mr. Jones Hooks called Ms. Dion Davis, Executive Director of the Jekyll Island Foundation (JIF) for a Mosaic
update. Ms. Davis, reported that after completing a successful thirty-day challenge to raise additional funds for
the Mosaic, and generous donations and commitments from JIA, Jekyll Island Citizens Association, Friends of
Historic Jekyll Island and many local citizens, a letter was received from Mr. Erik Johnson at the Woodruff
Foundation notifying JIF has been awarded a $750k grant for the Mosaic. Mr. Johnson and his family visited the

An update was provided on coal ash dumping in Glynn County and the Jekyll Island Airport operations and grants
involved for new fencing and security around the airport. JIA has been in negotiations with the Navy, who uses
the airport for training exercises, and an agreement was reached with the Commander in charge at Mayport and
Rich Van Idertstyne who runs operations at the airport, to limiting the hours of helicopter operations to daily
Monday-Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and no operations on Saturday/Sunday.
Discussions continue with the Department of Transportation for additional pedestrian crossings and additional
road resurfacing grants. JIA is hopeful for additional monies for paving to accompany the $50K budget item
appropriated by the JI Board.
Georgia Power has expressed a need for a new tower for communications in the location on the west side of the
island. The first proposal involved erecting a second tower. JIA has negotiated for a new tower to replace the
current one. The current tower would then be removed once the new tower is in place.
Glynn County initial discussions and consideration for SPLOST funds to pave roads and parking areas have
been favorable with $2.3M being considered for Jekyll. The hope is that these discussions remain favorable and
the funds are approved without issue. Mr. Hooks concluded his report.
Mr. Krueger announced the staff’s request for the Board to move into Executive Session in order to discuss
Request for Proposal (RFP) 321 (Beach Village Limited Service Hotel). Mr. Hooks recommended the Board
move into Executive Session as the items surrounding the apparent successful proposer of the limited service
hotel involve real estate matters. Therefore, Mr. Krueger asked for a motion that the Board enter into Executive
Session to discuss real estate matters and the RFP-321 apparent successful proposer. Mr. Jones moved that the
Board to enter Executive Session; seconded by Mr. Hodges; unanimously approved.
At 10:50 AM the JIA Board of Directors recessed for Executive Session. At 11:45 AM, Vice Chairman Krueger
asked for a motion to end Executive Session and call the Committee Meeting back into session. Mr. Jones moved
to end Executive Session; seconded by Ms. Lynn. Unanimously approved.
Krueger called Mr. Daniel Strowe, Legal Associate, to summarize the actions taken in Executive Session. Strowe
noted that in the prior Committee session, all Board members present, voted to enter into Executive Session to
discuss each proposal received for RFP-321. Following that discussion, the meeting now has been reopened and
all Board member are present. The Board may entertain any additional discussion and any recommendations for
RFP-321. It was also noted Mr. Gross recused himself from any vote regarding RFP-321 due to his involvement
in other matters with Leon N. Weiner & Associates and that Mr. Gross left the Executive Session due to a prior
engagement.
Mr. Krueger stated the Chair would entertain a motion to accept the staff recommendation that management
proceed with due diligence, including lease terms, with Mandala Holdings LLC (the apparent successful proposer)
for a limited service hotel in response to RFP-321. Expectation is that a proposal will be considered by the Board
at the May meeting. Ms. Lynn moved to approve; seconded by Mr. Jones and Mr. Royal. Unanimously approved.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION/CONSERVATION COMMITTEE
FROM:
BEN CARSWELL, DIRECTOR OF CONSERVATION
SUBJECT:
CONSERVATION UPDATE
DATE:
5/10/2016
Research and Monitoring
• Wilson’s Plover nesting season is well underway and monitoring efforts are ongoing with 11
nests documented so far. One brood has hatched, with three chicks banded.
• We are awaiting confirmation from DNR that our Bobcat research will be covered as
requested under the Scientific Collection Permit that covers many of our other research
activities. Confirmation is expected within 1 or 2 weeks. After some final internal discussion
about methods and strategy, we’ll move forward with the project.
Management and Planning
• Pre-sea turtle-nesting-season meetings were held with all concerned parties pursuant to the
beach lighting ordinance which is now back in affect. We anticipate that we are entering sea
turtle season at the highest level of lighting ordinance compliance yet achieved. Some follow

This center truly inspires us to appreciate the wonderful creatures all around this rich ecological niche.
The educational walk through area had enough information at varying levels to engage adults thru young
one. The tour of the hospital facility further added to an appreciation for these magnificent creatures. The
energy of the staff is very positive and enthusiastic - people on a mission to make a difference! Great way
to spend a morning before leaving Jekyll. Quote from Trip Advisor (April 2016)

Revenues
Revenues for April were $1,944,238, which reflects a favorable $186K (11%) variance from
budget. Revenues also reflect a favorable $1.5M (8%) variance from year to date budget as well
as a favorable $3M (18%) variance from prior year to date.

The largest variances for the month are:
 Business leases ($40K) – Percentage rental is higher than anticipated for the month.
 Parking (+$38K) – Daily parking fees +$32,683 and Annual pass sales +$5,342 were
both higher than budget for the month. Traffic counts reflect 42,687 daily entries and
49,140 pass entries for the month.
 Convention Center (+$142K) -Staff was able to contract 5 conventions “in the year for
the year”. One of these was a 3 day event that brought in an additional $44K. (See
convention center report for more information).
 Lot leases ($31K) – Primarily from participation fees received from The Cottages at
Jekyll Island, which were $26K in April.
 Campground (-$30K) – This variance is a timing difference resulting from changing to a
POS system that properly tracks advanced deposit payments. (Revenue is recognized
when the customer checks into the campground and not when the deposit is received).
Expenses
Expenses were $2,063,047 for April and reflected an unfavorable budget variance of $195K
(10%) for the month. Expenses reflect an unfavorable $75K (0%) variance from year to date
budget and an unfavorable $1.87M (11%) variance from the prior year to date expenses.

The largest variances for the month are:
 Supplies & Materials (+$33K) – the largest variance is in Chemicals & Fertilizers
(+$21K), it is expected that some of this is a timing variance. Uniforms (+$7.5K) also
reflect an unfavorable variance from budget this month: Convention Center +$1.5K,
McCormick’s Grill +$1.4K, and Turtle Center +$2.4K.
 Advertising & Sales (+$84K) – variance is in Group promotions and Brand &
Advertising expenses. Currently, the Advertising & Sales category is on target with
budget for the fiscal year to date.
 Repairs – Facilities & Grounds (+$92K) – Summer Waves +$15K (refinishing slides and
prepping for season), Retail Village +$18K (purchase of additional lighting), Guest
Information +$25K for gate maintenance and part replacement. This category is over
budget for the year by $137K due to unexpected building and equipment maintenance.
Net Operating Cash
The Net Operating Cash loss for the month is $118,809, which is a $9K (8%) unfavorable
variance from the budgeted net operating cash loss of $110,254. Net Operating Cash Income
reflects a favorable $1.4M variance for the fiscal year and a favorable $1.2M variance from the
prior fiscal year.

Notes:
Great job by the Museum staff, according to Clint you only missed the
record for April that was set last year by $2,000. The disparity at Summer
Waves is mostly a timing issue with online sales and Groupon payments.
Summer Waves opens Saturday 5/7 at 10AM.

Exception Notes: When we completed the budget preparation for FY16 we had only 6 events
contracted for this month. It included only one small meeting, 4 weddings and the Red Carpet Event
from the GA Chamber. We were able to contract 5 conventions “in the year for the year”. This was a
record for fill- in business. One of those was Region 8 Men’s Gymnastics Championships. This one group
brought 850 competitors and with families and friends, coaches and others – we had more than 2000
per day through the facility. The island hotels and most of the hotels at Exit 38 were sold out. That one 3
day event gave us $44K+ in revenue that had not been planned. With 4 additional conventions and 4
weddings we exceeded budget by more than $150K. Unfortunately the gymnastic meet and the other
meetings will not become annual events but we are working on getting them rebooked for the future.

JEKYLL ISLAND-STATE PARK AUTHORITY
POLICY MANUAL
Section: Human Resources Standards of Practice
Section: 5.3
Subject: Employee Assistance Program
Original Date: 4/1/00
Revision Dates:
STANDARD
The Authority recognizes that at times employees may have personal concerns or issues that may
affect their ability to perform their jobs. In order to assist employees in resolving those concerns and
issues, and to help them perform at maximum capacity, the Authority offers an Employee Assistance
Program.
PRACTICE GUIDELINES
1. Eligibility. Full and part time employees and seasonal employees are eligible on the date of
hire. Immediate family members who live in the same household as the employee are also
eligible to participate in this benefit. Immediate family members need not be enrolled in group
medical benefits to be eligible for the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
2. Program provisions.
a. Employees may call the EAP provider confidentially and voluntarily to arrange for an
initial assessment.
b. The EAP counselor will prescribe a program of intervention and treatment suited to the
individual’s needs.
c. Services are pre-paid up to a specific number of visits per person, as outlined in the
accepted contract.
d. Participation in EAP services must not hinder routine job expectations or will excuse
employees from warranted disciplinary action.
3. Self-Referral. Employees may refer themselves to the EAP for difficulties related to marital,
family, child behavior, financial, chemical dependency, emotional, eating disorders, legal
trouble, or any other personal problem that may eventually affect the employee at work.
Employees who call the EAP do so confidentially. The EAP provider does not report who
visits the EAP or why.
4. Supervisory Referral. Supervisors may offer a referral employees to the EAP when job
performance appears to be affected by a personal issue. Such referrals are also confidential and
voluntary.
5. Mandatory Referral. Employees may be mandated to participate in the EAP when personal
issues become so critical that they threaten the employee’s continued employment. Employees
who are mandated to the EAP will be asked to sign a written agreement promising to keep all
appointments with counselors, to follow the prescribed treatment identified by counselors, and

to participate in random drug and alcohol testing, as appropriate. Failure to honor the terms
and conditions of the agreement will lead to termination of employment. Employee
participation in mandatory EAP referrals is usually a requirement for continued employment,
copies of agreements with employees mandating referral are sent to the EAP provider.
6. Confidentiality and Reporting. EAP visits and the contents of treatment programs are
confidential. The EAP program provider reports to the employer quarterly showing the number
of visits and the general type of problems with which employees seek assistance. Such
utilization data provides the employer with evidence that the program is needed, is being used
by employees, and it provides indicators about the kinds of difficulties which affect work. The
employer may find such information useful in implementing training programs or providing
other employee services.
7. Records. All records and discussions of personal problems are to be handled in a confidential
manner and shared with other individuals only on a “need to know” basis. Reference to
participation in EAP or behavioral health services is not to be maintained in official personnel
files.
For additional information or assistance, please contact the JIA Human Resources Office.

otherwise should not have paid.
4. Claim Response: Human Resources staff, with assistance from department supervisors, will

2017 and thereafter on June 30th of each year of this Agreement, Operator shall pay into the
Reserve Account all gross revenue in excess of expenses (each a “Reserve Deposit,” and
collectively “Reserve Deposits”). All interest earned on the Reserve Account will be added to
and become part of the Reserve Deposits. Operator may make withdrawals from the Reserve
Account from time to time for capital repairs, replacements, improvements, upgrades and any
other capital or maintenance items for which funds in such a Reserve Account are customarily
utilized. Operator may further make withdrawals from the Reserve Account from time to time
for other non-capital or maintenance related operating expenses provided that Operator obtains
the Authority’s consent to withdraw funds from the Reserve Account if used for such purposes.
Operator shall inform the Authority of any planned withdrawals from the Reserve Account at
each quarterly meeting as set forth in Paragraph 10 of this Agreement. Each Authorized
Representative of the Operator and Authority shall further review each proposed withdrawal to
ensure the funds are used for the purposes set forth herein. Any portion of any funds in the
Reserve Account which are not expended in any fiscal year of this Agreement shall be retained
in the Reserve Account until expended.

representative (the “Authorized Representative”) to meet and confer with the other party with
respect to Facility operations. Each party shall be entitled to rely upon all consents, approvals,
disapprovals and other actions of the other’s Authorized Representative. The initial Authorized
Representative of Operator shall be the Director of the University of Georgia 4-H Program and
the initial Authorized Representative of Authority shall be the Executive Director of the
Authority. The Authorized Representative or their designees shall, at a minimum, meet quarterly

other such insurance fund to commence to repair, restore or replace the facilities in strict
accordance with the plans, specifications and drawings of the presently existing facilities, or in
accordance with such new and different plans and specifications as may be approved by Authority,
and shall complete the repair, restoration or replacement of the facilities in a timely manner.
Authority, acting in its reasonable discretion, shall determine the construction activities of
Authority which shall constitute commencement of repair, restoration or replacement. Authority’s
obligation to so repair, restore or replace the facilities shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Destruction of or damage to the facilities shall in no way relieve Operator from its
covenants, agreements, duties and obligations herein made and agreed to be performed, observed
and kept by Operator, nor shall such destruction or damage relieve Operator of the provisions of
this Agreement, except that management services shall abate following such damage or destruction
and through and including the date of substantial completion of the repair or restoration of the
Facility.
13.
INSURANCE
13.1 At all times during the term of this Agreement, Authority and Operator
acknowledge that the facilities shall be insured against any loss or damage caused by fire,
lightning, windstorm, hurricane, tornado, cyclone, hail, explosion, riot, civil commotion, aircraft,
smoke, land vehicles, boiler explosion, or any other like or different type or kind of catastrophe
which can be insured under the State of Georgia Insurance And Hazard Reserve Fund or other
such insurance fund. Such insurance at all times shall be maintained by Authority for those
structures owned by Authority in accordance with policies of the Department of Administrative
Services. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a bill from Authority, Operator shall reimburse
to the Authority the amount of any premium attributable to the premises and paid by Authority for
the insurance herein required.
13.2 Operator covenants and agrees that it will not do or permit to be done, on, upon,

pertaining to the facilities.

duty, obligation, term, condition or provision of this Agreement which is to be performed,
observed, kept and complied with by Operator, and remains in default for thirty (30) days after
notice of such default by Authority; or if Operator shall attempt to make an assignment, transfer
or sublease in violation of Operator’s acknowledgements and agreements set forth in this
Agreement, then, and in any of the above said events, Authority may at once after such event of
default or at once after expiration of the particular grace period provided herein, as the case may
be, terminate this Agreement, whereupon Operator shall be deemed to have abandoned the
premises, and without legal process, Authority may enter upon and take immediate possession and
control of the premises to the complete exclusion of Operator and remove some or all persons and
their effects and the effects of Operator therefrom using such force as may be necessary without
being guilty of trespass, forcible entry or detainer or other tort. The failure of Authority to exercise
such rights after one or more defaults of Operator shall not be a waiver, or be construed as a waiver,
of the rights of Authority upon any subsequent default.

any or no reason. Either party terminate this Agreement for convenience upon sixty (60) days
written notice, which shall commence upon the date of said notice.

be made only on prior written consent of Authority.
