Councilman McCoy entered the RECONVENED SESSION at 4:12 P.M. - 37 - Item II-D.1 RUDEE INLET ITEM # 25289 The City Manager advised Council of a possible EMERGENCY situation entailing a SAND BAR at RUDEE INLET. Donald Trueblood, City Engineer, provided City Council with information concerning the extent of the Corps Project. The Army Corps of Engineers' project entends outside the mouth of Rudee Inlet about 550 feet. Mr. Trueblood noted on a drawing the Sand Bar referenced by the City Manager. Application for a permit to dredge this area was made a year ago and this Permit has now been received. If a further "emergency" developes, it would necessitate immediate action and the City Manager requested City Council's authority to act if said need arises. The City Manager advised "Soundings" completed by tbe EROSION COMMISSION dated April 9, 1986, and April 22, 1986, were distributed to City Council. (Said "Soundings" are hereby made a part of the record). The gray areas are the jetties. On the North side the "yellow or gold area" reflects three to four feet with the channel ranging anywhere from 4 1/2 to 5 feet. The small dredge was in the INLET most of the month and same is evidenced by the improvements made by April Twenty-second. The only areas reflecting 4 feet are just two areas against that North Jetty and one area in the center of the Inlet reflecting 4 feet. Nick Wright, Chairman of the Erosion Commission, explained the considerable improvement as shown in the drawings. As soon as the weather provides an opportunity, the Commission will remove the SAND BAR. The dredge is now working in the western part of the jetty by the lighthouse. Mr. Wright advised the boat which overturned was a small sailboat and the seas were rough. He did not think the SAND BAR necessitated the overturning of the boat. Kenny Melson, Superintendent of the Erosion Commission, advised the SOUNDINGS were plotted at "low tide". The City Manager advised Great Lakes Dredging has been involved in a project in Norfolk and they possibly have an ocean-going dredge available which could dispose of this SAND BAR very quickly. The City Engineers' Office was in touch with them the next day and they were going to provide the City with a proposal tbis week. However, GREAT LAKES had proposed to take tbe sand and dispose of it out in the Ocean, and the City does not have a permit for this type of disposal. If the City is to do this, the Corps of Engineers advised the City must go tbough environmental analysis. The Permit does not allow this at the present time. It will cost more to pump sand onto the beach. The City Manager suggested a Resolution that would authorize him to Declare an Emergency and take tbe appropriate action to remove said SAND BAR. Mr. Wright advised the larger of the two dredges should be returned after repair by NORSHIPCO within ten days. BY CONSENSUS, City Council SCHEDULED the possible emergency situtation involving the SAND BAR at RUDEE INLET for the City Council Meeting of April 28, 1986, for further discussion and additional data to be received from the Corps of Engineers, City Engineers' Department and Great Lakes Dredging. Staff will request the Coast Guard post a sign WARNING of temporary problems existing at RUDEE INLET. - 38 - Item II-F.1 ADJOURNNENT ITEM # 25290 Upon motion by Councilman Louis Jones, seconded by Councilman Baum, City Council ADJOURNED the meeting at 4:28 P.M.
