The Holley Navarre Water System, Inc. is accepting resumes for general manager. Longtime general manager, Ken Walker, is retiring at the end of March. The qualifications include a “solid” understanding of all aspects of water and sewer utility to include planning, water resources, budgeting, management and related technology. Engineering is a good degree to have to be a manager of a water department, or business – or both. The full list of qualifications can be found in an ad on the classified page of this issue.
This Saturday morning is the 2015 Health & Business Expo at the Navarre Conference Center. There will be local health agencies and businesses that will offer many free health screenings.

There will also be door prizes and a chance to win a 40” LED Smart TV. Check out the Navarre Beach Chamber’s ad for more details. There will also be a blood mobile at the Health Expo.

Work described as “erosion control” on the 40 acres of Holley by the Sea (HBTS) common properties closest to the Sound has come under scrutiny after a county engineer determined that basins located near the recreation center were never approved by the county.
The Holley-Navarre Water Board election is from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., this Tuesday, Jan. 20. If you are going to turn in your proxy, you need to do so by 4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16. The water board proxies are very frustrating – and we write about them every year. The proxies list the current board members and then have a nebulous space that says “other member.” That is the space where you write down a name of someone other than a board member to vote on your behalf.
The Naval Live Oaks Visitor Center at Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) headquarters in Gulf Breeze closed Jan. 10 for mold remediation in the aftermath the April 2014 declared flooding event.
