Councilmember Gemino also requested that the Administration investigate the possibility of leasing the land adjacent to the park property located behind the North County First Aid Squad Building. b) Discussion of Village Council support of Palm Beach County Jupiter/ Juno Beach Restoration Project. Councilmember Nelson reported that he attended the last meeting held by the Palm Beach County Beach and Shores Council where they discussed in detail, the proposal presented at the April 8 Village of Tequesta Council Meeting. One other item was also discussed which involved a request from the • Passages, a condominium Association to permit a rock revitment to be built at their expense in an effort to help replenish their beach. Their request was not acted upon by the Palm Beach County Beach ~ Shores Council pending further study. Mr. Nelson recommended that the Tequesta Village Council support the project as presented by Mr. Klinger, County Beach Erosion Engineer, since the improvements to be realized at Carlin Park beaches would also be enjoyed by Village residents. Mrs. Dorothy Campbell, Village resident of 4 Tradewinds Circle, objected to the proposed beach erosion restoration project. Mrs. Campbell stated that the County's intentions were wonderful, however, the indirect project costs were excessive and the plans did not address main- tenance or possible destruction to the natural underwater reefs, located in the area. Councilmember Nelson noted that past studies revealed that longer and wider beach restoration projectssignificantly extended the beaches life expectancy, until the next beach restoration was required. He also noted that the Town of Jupiter supported the beach restoration project proposed by the County. There being no further discussion, Chairman Howell recommended that no action be taken on the matter this evening. This item is to be placed on the agenda of Council to be resolved at the next regular scheduled meeting • of Council. Minutes of the Meeting • April 22, 1986 Page 6 - c) Discussion of Helping Hands Across Palm Beach County. A discussion of the May 25, 1986 efforts by Hands Across Palm Beach County, Inc. to raise funds for the hungry and homeless in the County received Council's full support. It was noted that approximately 250 of Tequesta's population would be needed to support this event. In Palm Beach County, approximately 65,000 people will be involved. At the $10.00 contribution per person, the County would raise $650,000.00 for this worthy cause. Councilmember Gemino moved, second by Councilmember Nelson, "that the Resolution authorizing the Village Manager to support the May 25, 1986 efforts by Hands Across Palm Beach County, Inc. to raise funds for the hungry and homeless in Falm Beach County, including the other provisions contained in the Resolution be approved." The vote on the motion was: Jill K. Gemino - for Edward C. Howell - for Ron Mackail - for Edwin J. Nelson - for Resolution No. 8-85/86 was therefore approved and adopted. d) Authorization to sell the Disk Drive from the old computer. Chairman Howell reviewed a Memorandum requesting authorization to sell the 20 Mega Byte Disk Drive, from the old 8150 computer system, to the City of South Bay for $1,200.00. Mr. Howell stated that the 8150 computer system, annual maintenance costs, render this equipment obsolete. He also noted that he was surprised at the opportunity of selling any segment of the old system. He indicated, any delay on this matter could jeopardize the sale. The possibility of selling the equipment to any current users of 8150 systems is very unlikely. There being no further discussion on the matter, Councilmember Nelson moved, second by Councilmember Mackail, "to authorize the sale of the 20 Mega Byte Disk Drive from the old 8150 computer system to the City of South Bay at the price of $1,200.00 and to declare the equipment surplus Village property." The vote on the motion was: Jill K. Gemino - for Edward C. Howell - for Ron Mackail - for Edwin J. Nelson - for the motion was therefore passed, CJ • Minutes of the Meeting April 22, 1986 Page 7 - 4.
