Commissioner Lyons agreed that the proposal that came to the Board re Jungle Trail was not all good nor all bad, and one thing it has accomplished is to give us some impetus to get started on the preservation of Jungle Trail. Commissioner Wodtke expressed concern about the legal status of the procedure followed today, noting that in seven years on the Commission this is the first time he has ever seen a public hearing conducted with a Motion on the floor 1 and seconded before anyone even spoke. He hoped this is not a practice we are going to continue. Commissioner Wodtke noted that one of former Commissioner Ed Massey's main concerns was the preservation of Jungle Trail, and an effort was made some years ago to get a Special Act passed, but there were some problems. As to the comment that a need has not been shown, Commissioner Wodtke stated that while he did believe there is a need for a yacht club and marina somewhere in the county and he could not argue the technical presentations made, and although he had hoped the plan set out in Alternate "B" for rerouting of Jungle Trail and granting of additional parkland might be acceptable, he would never support a drawbridge in Jungle Trail. Chairman Scurlock asked the Attorney if there should be another Motion and second because of the irregular procedure. Attorney Brandenburg felt the procedure was good the way it stands since debate followed the Motion. The Chairman called for the question on the Motion to deny the request to cut a channel in Jungle Trail. It was voted on and carried by a unanimous vote. Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by Commissioner Bird, to get proposals from various organizations as to what might be done to help with the erosion problem along Jungle Trail and to appoint Ruth Stanbridge chairman of an ad hoc committee to come back with proposals for ways of improving Jungle Trail.
