Bryant Associates of Wilmington was the original firm that oversaw the first project and developed our 30 year plan.\u00a0 As is the course with businesses things change and now, our Town is served by TI Coastal of Wilmington to carry out the rest of the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Midstream of this plan, the Army Corps of Engineers dropped inlet dredging as a priority.\u00a0 Well, in addition to a beach, a coastal community blessed with an inlet needs to have an inlet that is navigable.\u00a0 This fall we embark on the first ever combination project of inlet dredging and placement of sand on the beach accomplishing two things at once.\u00a0 An inlet that is 8\u2019 deeper that it is currently and ranging from 80 to 150 feet wide in places allowing a much safer course through New Topsail Inlet.\u00a0 This project is slated to begin in November and finish in March just before tourist season cranks up.\u00a0 This effort required multiple permits and cooperation among state and Federal agencies.<\/p>\n<p>The 30 year plan was initially supposed to transition into a 50 year Federal project that not only re-nourishes the beach, but also includes dune and berm construction for the added feature of Hurricane Protection.\u00a0 The Town is currently evaluating these plans to maximize protection and watch project costs to reduce mission creep.\u00a0 Also the Town has had to secure easements twice for projects and will be tasked with securing another round of \u201cpermanent\u201d easements should the Federal Project receive funding.\u00a0 Hopefully, this has given readers insight to one of the challenges for beach managers and I hope to relate other challenges in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Holloman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picking a career as a City\/Town manager in itself is a challenge to balance the needs and wants of a community while doing it in a fiscally conservative manner, but throw in the location of the Town next to the Ocean and the task can expand exponentially.

Tim enjoys working with people and the fact that every day as a Town Manager is different. Serving as Town Manager offers him a way to influence and shape the community. Encouraging others to consider public service is a high priority and he utilizes graduate students and interns when possible to allow them to gain experience and complete projects that benefit the community. He plans to stay in city and county service many more years and possibly serve outside his home state of North Carolina.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.topsailbeach.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Town-of-Topsail-Beach-North-Carolina\/138345019542554"],"url":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/author\/timh\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2974"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3649"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3649\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3710,"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3649\/revisions\/3710"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
