Action: Mayor Edelcup said that we had a report a couple of months ago from the Beachwalk Fact Finding group and at that time we heard their report and found from the facts that the only area that we would accomplish in that beachwalk proposal is to have a cement truck with a trailer pulling a cement iron barge to create a compressed sand approach for the beachwalk. He suggested that staff look at the feasibility of doing this from Samson Oceanfront Park south to the Newport and see if we can implement a test basis on that area of sand and see if we can accomplish a compressed sand walk in that area. Vice Mayor Thaler said he agreed with that direction and that we will find that they are still working on the Sole and those buildings and that they are throwing dirt and bringing dirt onto the beach from there, and if they try to put the compression on there that we are going to lose it or it is going to be covered. Assistant City Manager Vera said the movement of the sand is only going to take a couple of days. Mayor Edelcup said that we basically are directing staff to come up with a plan and time table. Public Speakers: none 12B. Add-On New Item: Discussion regarding Closure of Beach Access. Action: Assistant City Manager Vera said he received a letter from the Sole project which is just north of Florida Ocean Club and they are requesting to close that beach access for approximately three and a half (3 Y2) weeks so they can raise the second floor because they fear ifthey keep that beach access opened it will be a safety hazard for patrons that are using it. It was the consensus of the Commission to close it but to do it as soon as possible. 21
