Ralph Sexton also praised the reef and commended Commissioner Adams for her <br />efforts in pulling the project together. Before the reef was installed he had put in 8500 yards <br />of sand in that area. Since the installation of the reef, he has not had to haul any sand at all. <br />Now the City has to dig sand out of the sewer drains. The reef is protecting Conn Beach and <br />has deposited about 12 feet of sand under the Ocean Grill. Before the installation of the reef <br />you could not walk down that beach without wading and now there is approximately 175 <br />feet of beach. He asked the Board to continue with the reports on the reef through June of <br />2002 as the beach did not start to rebuild itself until about 2000. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board <br />unanimously accepted the Performance of the P E P <br />Reef Submerged Breakwater Project Final Report as <br />submitted and authorized staff to forward the Report <br />to the State of Florida Department of Environmental <br />Protection, as requested. <br />COPY OF REPORT IS ON FILE IN THE <br />OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />JANUARY 22, 2002 <br />
