not a long time, but in a large river such as the Indian River, <br />3,800 cubic yards is not a lot of material. . <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if we surveyed the specific <br />place to which Mr. Sabonjohn is referring, and Director Davis did <br />not think we had a cross section in that exact place. We have <br />representative cross sections. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if we have a "before" survey on <br />that point, and Director Davis confirmed that we do and it was <br />-0.2. We have a post survey a little bit to the north at the <br />beginning of the project, and there it is -5.9. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if we identified that we have <br />gone all the way to the rock or if there is another 3' of <br />siltation, because he felt it would be easy to suck out that 3' <br />but if there is rock at 611, then we can't do it. <br />Attorney Vitunac did not believe that we could take out rock <br />under the DER permit. <br />Commissioner Scurlock continued to stress that if we can <br />identify that there is 3/4' of sand at this particular point; <br />then it should be excavated, and Chairman Bird agreed that we <br />should get this resurveyed and clear the area. <br />Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that he did not think Jim <br />Davis did anything wrong here. He did his job, but you can't <br />survey every inch. <br />Director Davis noted that our crews can do this; it will <br />take about 2/3 days and cost about $560 a day, but his feeling is <br />that this was not a high priority item to schedule as we have <br />major contracts being awarded at this time. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked Mr. Sabonjohn if that is the <br />only point where it is not deep enough, and Mr. Sabonjohn stated <br />that there are two areas - as you come out to the river and after <br />you make the turn. It is a large area, but this is affecting his <br />property value and it should be corrected. He again stressed <br />that the County can levy on this contract. He did not care how <br />wide the channel is; it is not there. <br />Stanley Lethig, 1420 3rd Court, advised that his residence <br />is on the water in this area and he wished to make it part of the <br />record that 90 days after the dredging, he took his pontoon boat <br />which draws 16" of water out and it got stuck and he could not <br />get to..the river. He felt the Board should know of this problem <br />and he also felt the contract should be done right. <br />Ruth Chapman, Rockridge resident, felt that as far as the <br />County is concerned, they did exactly what they proposed to do <br />which was clear the area under the bridge and the entrance so <br />people could get in and out. She believed Mr. Davis did <br />precisely what was expected of him, and when you consider that <br />19 BUOK CE J F'AU e�� <br />JUN ii 1 <br />
