Mr. Wilson advised that in the past,where brick pavers have been used this had not been a problem: the bricks are originally set on an interlocking sand bed. Belen Brown asked about an article she had seen regarding a boardwalk at Clearwater Beach and was concerned as to whether or not any palms will be taken out. Mr. Wilson stated he had not heard of any plans being made to remove palms. However, there has been interest expressed in a boardwalk on Clearwater Beach that would stretch from the Adams Mark Hotel, north toward Pier 60, that would follow the sandwall.

It is felt that the boardwalk would relieve some of this problem.

Rabun, City Manager, to ask when it may be convenient for him to attend a Committee meeting after January. ~ final decision will be made at the November meeting regarding the cancellation ~f the December meeting.
