That does not include staff time. That s checks cashed to consultants, Coastal Director Jessica Winterwerp noted.
Staff have logged an estimated 2,525 hours on the project, including 325 from the legal department. Let s make this bleeding stop so we can move on, said Councilman Danny Robins, who represents New Smyrna Beach. We re not going to use past administrations as a crutch. We are the leaders now. I m truly just horrified at this whole thing, Councilwoman Heather Post said, in motioning to abandon the parking lot in favor of a dune walkover.
All voted for the motion except Councilman Ben Johnson.
Johnson said he was upset the county was being painted as the bad guy, as the city of New Smyrna Beach had initially asked for a project at 16th Avenue, albeit not the one the county settled on.

NYPD cancels contract with Boston Dynamics for police robot
Shane McGlaun - May 3, 2021, 7:04am CDT
The New York Police Department had a contract in place with Boston Dynamics for a quadruped robot known as “Digidog.” The robot came under fire by representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after a video of the robot being used on patrol in a Manhattan housing project went viral. The video sparked backlash, with some comparing it to the TV series “Black Mirror.”
The New York City Council later subpoenaed images of the robot after the video went viral. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio also asked the NYPD to rethink its use of the robot. The subpoena issued by the City Council was meant to determine the cost of the robot.
