During the discussion of this ordinance Mr. Anderson, the Village Attorney, advised that the people should be informed of the ordinance. Mr. Webb stated that he would advise the Villagers of the Ordinance and the location of the areas in a News Letter.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Faulkner and upon vote, passed unanimously. Mayor Brown then requested that Mr. Webb give a report to the Council on the present status of the Baker's Haulover survey. Mr. Webb stated that he had had a call from O. W. Campbell, the County Manager, requesting that this matter not be taken before the County Commission at this time. Professor Bruun had been retained to make a further study January 24, 1959 30 and recommendations to correct this condition permanently instead of a temporary measure. Mr. Campbell said that he did not feel that taxpayers money should be spent to make only a temporary correction by pumping sand onto the beaches when the sand could all be washed away in a few days time if we should have a series of Northeasters, and had not required proper protective measures to be installed to retain the sand after it was pumped onto the beaches. The University of Florida has built a testing lab at Gainesville, Florida and they now have a scale model of Baker's Haulever where they are making a complete study of the wave action, etc. and after completing their study they expect to be ably to advise where groins should be placed and what should be constructed as a permanent method of prot€.ctiny adjoining property. Mr. Campbell and Mr. Andersen, Dade County Engineer, suggested that Mr. Webb and Mr. Whittaker, dal Harbour's Engineer, should make the trip to Gainesville sometime late in January or early February to see this model and go over the matter with Professor Bruun and others who are studying the model. Mr. Broeman suggested that the Council authorize Mr. Webb and Mr. Whittaker to go to Gainesville in connection with the Baker's Haulovex situation. Mr. Broeman also requested that Mr. Webb make certain that the minutes of the Council show that everything possible has been done by the present council to try to correct the conditions. Mr.Anderson stated that the County might do all the temporary work recommended and it would all be wasted if the balance cf the work is not completed. He also stated that he felt that the record of the Council will show that the Village Manager and the Council have tried to accomplish something over a period of years but something of this nature requires a joint operation. 9a1 Harbour Village cannot be held responsible for condition of beaches as deposit of sand is controlled by ocean tides, etc. The hotels can protect their beaches by putting in bulkheads which is not a permanent answer but a temporary measure. The final item under Old Business was a report on letters re temporary buildings. Mr. Webb reported to the Council that he had written letters to Mr. Whitman and Mr. Wolfe as instructed at the last council meeting and had received replies from both Mr. Whitman and Mr. Wolfe confirm- ing the action of the council. The only item under New Business was the audit for the three months period ending 12-31-58. Mr. Webb explained that it was a normal three months audit and that +here was nothing unusual to report as each department was in balance. Mr. Broeman made the motion that Council accept the audit as submitted. Mr. Hard seconded the motion and upon vote passed unanimously. There being no furthez business, the meeting adjourned.
