Summary Minutes:Regular City Commission Meeting December 18,2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach,Florida <br /> it from the agencies that do that and that is where Vice Mayor Aelion is coming from and he <br /> is absolutely right. But we could afford to possibly put some mitigation in that helps slow <br /> down the erosion. Mitigation, and we don't have expertise in this area. He and the City <br /> Manager have talked about hiring an oceanic or geological engineer who understands this. <br /> For instance,if you put an undersea rock jetty 300 or 400 feet off shore,would that undersea <br /> rock jetty create any kind of a barrier that would break that down? The other piece might be <br /> can we put a rock jetty like at Haulover under the Pier, and at least about half or two-thirds <br /> down the City that mitigates the sand shifting all the way down into Haulover. Because that <br /> is really what happens Haulover doesn't have the problem because every time that sand <br /> wants to shift to the south and Haulover has always been beaches. So the point is that we <br /> have a three-prong attack which might be an undersea technique,a jetty mitigation technique, <br /> and also going after our State and Federal Agencies that could undertake the beach <br /> renourishment projects. We all understand what is out there, especially this time of year <br /> when a storm gets exacerbating because behind folks buildings a lot of times that beach <br /> erodes very quickly, it comes back but it never comes back to the same place it was when it <br /> started eroding. He thinks the City Manager has a clear indication of what we are looking for <br /> and he would hope that he would undertake looking into some of those issues. <br /> 13.
