Mr. Scofield statedhe was sure all fears will be overcome when their engineers solve the big problem they are up against at the present time. The bridges which were put in at first with palmetto logs are not satisfactory and Florida Shores recognizes this and are working to make corrections. They have tried \'lith Concrete bags and are now expermenting \'lith transite boards which are 4 x 8 and go into the ground and are capped with cement on top. The engineers are already drawing plans for retaining walls. We realize these bridges in this size development are a problem and probably will not all be corrected by next May, but two years from May they hope to have the problem solved and all replacements in and satisfactory to every one. They do not intend to pullout until all corrections are made if it takes two years. '\ITe are now working on this condition as fast as possible and we do have the interest of Edgewater at heart and we do hope the people understand and have patience. The chair will now recognize the spokesnwm for Florida Shores residents who have signed this petition. Mr. Teidi stated he was acting President of Edgewater Property Owners Association. He stated this was a big job to see that all the improvements were completed in Florida Shores and he wanted the Council to know they were not complaining'but only try~ng to help the Council in every way possible to over come bad situations like this. He ask if it were possible to have Magnuson Properties post a performance bond and if the work promised was not completed the bond be forfeited and the City do the job. Mr. Scofield stated they were adverse to bonds, and if it was put in writing just what they would do, that should be enough. Vice-Mayor Shaeffer stated a letter would be written to Mr. Moynahan stating the complaints and asking him about a performance bond. Bids on Insurance Policy on Water Project discussed.

Vice~layor Shaeffer stated there had been nothing done to his knowledge. Mr. Brown then stated it was tying up the growth of all the property in the western part of the City and if the City thinks this is too large an expenditure, why not contact the Mosquito Control for a third, the County Commissioners for a third and the City a third. This way it would only cost about $1,700 each. Then it was suggested it be taken up with the Interstate Commerce Commission.
