that one block of Ocean Boulevard, between Atlantic Boulevard and
Ahern Street, would be closed to traffic. It was moved by Commissio-
ner Rosborough, seconded by Commissioner Cook and carried that the
Artist Guild be given permission to close off Ocean Boulevard from
Atlantic Boulevard to First Street provided the Artist Guild pay
and maintain off-duty policemen to direct traffic and to notify the
citizens of the detour.
Mrs. Barbara Reynolds, 945 Sailfish Drive, requested information
pertaining to Fred Mills additional buildings on Mayport Road.

will be submitting additional plot plans to the City Commission at
a later date. Mayor Howell stated that no action would be taken on
Mr. Mills plans until he is present and re-submits the plans and
specifications to the City Commission. Mrs. Ruth Gregg, 905 Sailfish

struct his offices, stores and motel complex. Mayor Howell instruct-

MINUTES, PAGE TWO, APRIL 22, 1974
Mayor Howell stated that House Bill 3265 abolishes all special dis-
tricts and transfers all taxing and other authority, and all lia-
bilities, to general purpose local government within which the
special district is located has recently been introduced by Rep.
Carl Ogden. Mayor Howell stated that he had talked with represen-
tatives in Tallahassee and it is possible that this bill could be
construed to mean that the Beaches and the Town of Baldwin are in
fact some sort of special governing district within a municipality
and according to this bill, the House version is a mandatory bill.
The Senate bill, which is 614, is an optional type thing which
would be left up to the city; meaning in our situation, the City of
Jacksonville. Mayor Howell requested that Representative Earl Dixon
take the initiative and introduce an amendment to this proposed bill
to provide that House Bill 3265 not include the Urban Service Dis-
tricts in Duval County. This is for information only and the Cities
of Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach are doing
what they can to prevent passage of House Bill 3265 without an
amendment.

RESOLUTION NO. 74-5
Establishment of Beach Erosion Control Line
Know all men by these presents:
That whereas the City of Jacksonville, Florida, in coordination with the governments
of the State of Florida and the United States, is embarking upon a beach erosion control
program; and
Whereas, such program requires the cooperation of owners of property abutting the
mean high water line along the beaches involved; and
Whereas, Chapter 161, Florida Statutes, empowers the Trustees of the Internal Improve-
ment Trust Fund to establish an erosion control line at the request of the county or city,
provided the owners of more than 50% of the number of linear feet of property abutting the
proposed line consent thereto in writing; and
Whereas, the establishment of such a line and the restoration or creation of public
beaches seaward of said line will be of considerable benefit to the owners of upland pro-
perty as well as to the public.
Now therefore, the premises considered, the undersigned, as owner of the following
described land abutting the proposed erosion control line, to-wit:
As described on attached sheet and made a part
hereof.
(sheet 4$ )
acknowledges that he has been advised and understands that the erosion control line, if
established, will be the seaward boundary of his proprty; that he will not gain any lands
resulting from the beach nourishment program or from natural accretion seaward of said line;
and that he will not lose any of his land which may erode by natural or other actions of
the wind and waters. He also understands that if the erosion control line is placed at any
point seaward of mean high tide abutting his property, as extended to such line, then such
submerged land -becomes his as upland owner and he will not be required to pay any compensa-
tion for same. In full knowledge of the above conclusions of law, the undersigned hereby
consents to and authorizes the establislunant of the erosion control line as recommended by
the City of Jacksonville to be established by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improve-
ment Trust Fund.
This instrument shall constitute the consent in writing of the undersigned, as owner of
the land herein described above, and abutting the erosion control line, to the location and
establishment of the erosion control line by the said Trustees of the Internal Improvement
Trust Fund.
Witness my hand at Duval County, Florida, this 22nd day of April 1974.
This Resolution was approved by
the City Commission of Atlantic
Beach on the above date.
