April 9th, 1971.
Present: WILLIAM F. KOCH, JR. Mayor
JOHN G. HART Vice -Mayor
J. PHIL HOYLE Commissioner
WILLIAM S. LaPORTE Commissioner
GEORGE W. WALKER Commissioner
Also attending: R. D. Worthing, Att'y. Henry F. Lilienthal,
and Kathleen Kirton.
10 Mayor Koch called the meeting to order.
2. The Mayor announced that Dr. Harrison A. Hoffmann, Ph.D., who is
Acting Chairman & Professor of Microbiology, Department of Biolo-
gical Sciences at Florida Atlantic University, desired to address
the Commission. Dr. Hoffmann stated that while he opposed Ocean
Outfall Sewage Systems he also was not in favor of Septic Tanks,
as a method of waste disposal.
Dr. Hoffmann, commenting further on the results of Septic Tank
usage, stated that he opposed Septic Tank Disposal methods be-
cause in periods of heavy rains he felt they contaminated surface
water, and, therefore, he felt that Gulf Stream is between the
devil and the deep blue sea, as a result of which, he favors ter-
tiary treatment plants rather than secondary sewage plants.
Tape recording of Dr. Hoffman's comments is on file in the Town
Hall of Gulf Stream.
3. The Commission unanimously approved acceptance of the 'Minutes'
of the March 12th Meeting on motion of Mr. LaPorte, duly second-
ed by Mr. Hart.

7. On motion of Mr. Hart, seconded by Mr. Walker, The Commission u-

Re: Town of Gulf Stream Beach Erosion District
Dear Sirs:
I have previously indicated to you my opinion that the
Commission should not accept or be responsible for the expenditure
of funds being donated by ocean front property owners in the
town for the purpose of defraying expenses for the contemplated
creation of a Beach Erosion District by the Legislature of Florida.
While such property owners should have, and I am sure
do have, the cooperation in every possible way of the Town Com-
missioners to accomplish their purpose, nevertheless the donated
funds should be handled and expended by a trustee of their choice
since the district when created would be an entity governed by
a commission separate and apart from the Town Commission.
May I suggest that the checks already received by the
Town, most of which are made to the order of a non - existent district,
be returned to the donors and others in lieu thereof be sent to
a trustee of the property owners' choice. This could be a property
owner, a bank, or the attorney selected to handle the legal affairs
of the proposed district.
I hope the interested parties will understand that the
Town Commission is sympathetic with their goal and will assist
in every legal way possible but that the funds cannot be escrowed
and spent by the Commission.
HFL: vB
Sincerely, ^ `
