Unfinished Business
A. George Bull re Selva Marina Garden
Mr. Davis outlined that at the last meeting the decision was made
that the Selva Marina Garden matter would be settled between Mr.
Davis and the two engineers. He stated that each Commissioner had
received copies of all correspondence on the subject, and he, in
addition had met with both engineers, but he still does not have
an agreement between the two engineers on the complete drainage
system for Selva Marina Garden. Mayor Howell asked Mr. Parks, City
Engineer, what was still unresolved, and Mr. Parks replied that
approximately three items have still not been agreed upon. They
are: the proposed use of valley gutters; direction of rotation
of the gate valves of the fire hydrant, and that a representative
of the City be present when the existing water main is tapped and
when a new line is tested. A discussion followed and the decision

Miscellaneous Business
Mayor Howell announced that he had received late this afternoon
a copy of a Resolution passed by the City of Jacksonville to the.
Duval Delegation proposing legislation to add a new section to
allow the Duval County Beaches Public Hospital Board, subject to
prior approval of the City of Jacksonville, to sell, lease or trans er
all of its assets and liabilities to a not-for-profit corporation
on certain terms and conditions and, if such transfer occurs by sal
of all assets and liabilities, repealing said Chapter 25807, Laws
of Florida, as revised and amended. Mayor Howell urged all of the
Commissioners to contact the Duval Delegation to discuss the matter
The Commission will be furnished copies of the proposed Resolution
and the subject will be brought up at a later date.

Commissioner Van Ness requested that Mr. Davis call the City of
Jacksonville and report the street light is out at the corner of
Ocean Blvd. and Seminole Road.

Commissioner Van Ness asked for a report on the 201 meeting and
Mayor Howell answered that apparently the Environmental Protection
Agency is throwing out the regional treatment plant proposal. They
now apparently want each Beach to retain their own plants, The Cit
of Atlantic Beach would probably double the size of our plant to
take care of our future growth. It is still uncertain if the city
will have to run a line to the St. Johns River.

Mayor Howell announced that on April 5-h at 2:00 p.m. the Beaches
Historical Society will be holding a dedication down at the Pablo

There being no further business, the Mayor declared the meeting
adjourned.
