The next order of business was the Trash Disposal Area

be accepted as submitted. The motion was seconded by Mr.

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

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.
