DISCUSSION CONTINUED, AND IT WAS GENERALLY AGREED THAT WE OBJECT <br />TO GROINS AND SAND PUMPING AND WISH FURTHER STUDY ON THE OTHER ALTERNA- <br />TIVES - THE JACK CONCEPT, THE SABECON REEF, BULLDOZING, BUT THAT WE MUST <br />REPLY. <br />ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, <br />THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN TO RESPOND TO THE CORPS OF <br />ENGINFERS REQUEST FOR OUR PERTINENT REMARKS PERTAINING TO THE FEASIBILITY <br />STUDY AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH WERE PRESENTED TO US IN REGARD TO BEACH <br />EROSION CONTROL AND AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN TO INCORPORATE IN HIS LETTER <br />THE REMARKS OF THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STATE <br />OF FLORIDA WITH REFERENCE TO THE SEBASTIAN INLET COMMISSION, AND ASK THE <br />CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO CONTINUE SEARCHING THE ALTERNATIVES WE HAVE PREVI- <br />OUSLY PRESENTED TO THEM AND INCORPORATE THE WELL-KNOWN PROJECT IN OCEAN <br />CITY, MARYLAND. <br />RALPH SEXTON APPEARED REPRESENTING THE VERO BEACH HOTEL & MOTEL <br />OWNERS ASSOCIATION AND STATED THAT THIS ASSOCIATION WISHES THEY HAD BEEN <br />CONSULTED BEFORE THE BOARD ADOPTED RESOLUTION No. 77-35 WH' --H REQUESTS THAT <br />THE FOOD SERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM BE PLACED IN THE HANDS OF THE DEPART- <br />MENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AND LOCAL COUNTY HEALTH DEPART- <br />MENTS RATHER THAN THE HOTEL & RESTAURANT COMMISSION. MR. SEXTON POINTED <br />OUT THAT THEY ARE PAYING LICENSE FEES WHICH GO TO THE HOTEL & RESTAURANT <br />COMMISSION FOR THEIR INSPECTIONS. HE FELT THIS�ORGANIZATION IS MORE <br />FAMILIAR WITH THEIR PROBLEMS AND BUSINESS AND BETTER TRAINED, AND THE HOTEL <br />AND RESTAURANT PEOPLE AS AN INDUSTRY WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THEIR PREMISES <br />INSPECTED BY THE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT COMMISSION. <br />COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED HOW MANY INSPECTIONS THE STATE PERFORMS <br />ON THE RESTAURANTS DURING THE YEAR AND WHETHER THEY HAVE ENOUGH INSPECTORS. <br />MR. SEXTON SAID THERE ARE THREE OF FOUR INSPECTIONS, BUT NOTED <br />THAT THE GOVERNOR CUT THE HOTEL & RESTAURANT COMMISSIONS BUDGET SO THEY <br />DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH INSPECTORS AT PRESENT. HE STATED THAT THE HOTEL & <br />RESTAURANT COMMISSION AT THE STATE LEVEL IS SEEKING TO FORM A COMMISSION <br />SIMILAR TO THE FLORIDA CITRUS COMMISSION WHEREBY THEY WOULD PAY ALL THEIR <br />OWN EXPENSES, AND IF THAT CAME ABOUT, THERE WOULD BE ADEQUATE INSPECTORS. <br />HE CONTINUED HE WOULD NOT ASK THAT THE BOARD RESCIND THE RESOLUTION, BUT <br />WOULD ASK THAT HIS ASSOCIATION BE CONSULTED IN THE FUTURE. <br />22 <br />J <br />
