KOOK 97 P.�1.281 <br />Relevant to the lawsuit, Commissioner Macht asked if the case <br />could be tried on the basis that the loss of sand was not an <br />isolated incident, but on-going, and that at least two studies <br />indicated that 70% of the littoral drift sand is either swept out <br />to sea or into the inlet, thus starving our beaches. <br />County Attorney Vitunac pointed out that the District's <br />position is that, according to the Supreme Court case which they <br />furnished him, jurisdiction is no longer in Circuit Court for that <br />type of suit. <br />Commissioner Macht pointed out that if the beaches are <br />replenished, you have, in effect, created a sacrificial beach with <br />a sacrificial source of sand that would, sooner or later, benefit <br />the entire coast. He indicated his agreement to move forward <br />toward agreement with the SITD to move sand to the south inlet <br />beaches. <br />Chairman Adams indicated that the concern, at this point, was <br />to try to restore the dune line which is being lost. Then, at some <br />future time, they would be able to move toward some beach <br />stabilization program. <br />Commissioner Tippin complimented Chairman Adams for a big <br />first step and indicated his readiness to have things move forward <br />as quickly as possible. <br />There was CONSENSUS to move ahead to negotiate with the <br />Sebastian Inlet Taxing District and pursue legal remedies, if <br />necessary. <br />TREASURE COAST PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL <br />TREASURE COAST TOB TRAE <br />NING CONSORTIUM <br />The Board reviewed a Letter of February 6, 1996, and a <br />Memorandum of February 8, 1996: <br />February 6, 1996 <br />Commissioner Richard Bird <br />Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />PIC 1840 25th St., -Suite N 158 <br />( ( Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />i <br />D er Bird: <br />T1zEa►s[1RE CoasT <br />PRIVATE Attached please find the revised agreements to be approved for signature <br />INDUSTRY at our next Treasure Coast Job Training Consortium meeting.
