Navarre residents representing “Citizens to Incorporate Navarre” attended the Monday Santa Rosa County Commission meeting and brought a petition with more than 800 signatures in support of placing a non-binding straw poll on the August ballot in hopes of determining whether or not the community supports moving forward with the incorporation process. They also asked for $27,500 to fund a Feasibility Study that will be required by the Florida State Legislature.

The Fort Pickens, Naval Live Oaks and Okaloosa Areas of the Gulf Islands National Seashore all experienced impacts from heavy rain and flooding last week.

Organizers hoped for better weather this year in Navarre than what Relay for Life participants and volunteers had to contend with last year. The 2013 event saw rain, wind and chilly conditions. The 2014 closing ceremony at Navarre High School was held under bright sunshine.
