Bill Moore spoke re trash receptacles, no cans have been ordered at this time. We
currently have 9 trash receptacles on the beach; the town empties these 3 times a week.
Ruth Samuels will ride with Bill Moore along the beach and see where to place the
additional trash cans. Possibly have the Town of Highland Beach logo placed on these
trash receptacles. Bill Moore will need a listing of where to place these trash cans with
authorization from the homeowners to place them on their property. Ruth Samuels will
take over the trash can responsibility.

Subject: Over a week, no trash pick-up...
Hi Bill,
I thought that you may want to know, that the town's guys on the 4-wheeler who empty the beach trash cans,
have not been by for over one week now, and our can is overflowing! (Last pick up was Wednesday 9/19.)
Today is Friday, so you may want to remind them to still do this today. If my can is past full, I'm sure there must
be others, as we have had a very "trashy" week with the tides and rain, and barrels, bottles and buckets washing
up!
Thanks.

Kim,
Thanks for looking into this and for the update. I am fine with whatever can be done in-house; I still feel we do not
need to go into an elaborate solution. Count me out of anything that entails more personal disbursement than I
have already agreed to contribute.
Thanks again,

Hello everyone,
I checked with Stan Novak (Finance Director) re the Beaches & Shores budget. Per Stan, Beaches 8~ Shores
Advisory Board does not have a budget. I have been told by Stan and Dale Sugerman that I can run the copies
you need as well as bind them in our binding machine and make the color copies as well. Otherwise, the Kinko's
cost etc would come ftom your own pockets. So, if there is anything I could help you do ftom this end to keep the
cost down I will be happy to do so. Bev, you and David were going to work together on the pictures and getting
the booklet together with a final draft of booklet being shown at the Oct 9~' meeting or the Oct. 16~' workshop
correct? Please let me know if this something you want to do. The turtle pictures would just be a color copy on
paper, not sure how you all feel about that?
Thanks,
Kim

Hi Everyone;
Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, Susy, my wife, and I have decided to take
a long trip to Buenos Aires, leaving Oct. 7u' and returning in a month or two {when we run out of things
to do). I'm sorry to miss the presentations and meetings but I know it's in excellent hands. You can
always get me via the Internet, as we usually check messages every day or two when we are gone.
Good Luck and Best Regards,

Kim,
Thanks for the heads up, but I have had a change of plans. I'm being called away because of a very serious illness in my
family. I will be leaving on Friday, September 21 and won't return until October 1 (Hopefully). I will advise you further if I will
not be able to make the October meeting, but at this time, I expect to be there. My apologies to all.
Please ask Dale to reschedule the presentation for the October regular meeting of the commission. Meanwhile, they have the
information of what we want to present and I'll plan to keep it within the required time limit.
Thanks, Lucy

Hi everyone,
Dale Sugerman has said today that the Beaches & Shores presentation to the Commission will be limited
to 10-15 minutes; this is including the slide show and Lucy's part. Just wanted to make everyone aware
so that you can plan accordingly.
Call me with any questions.

HI David, and all board members,
David, Martha was going to coordinate this with you. I highly suggest we should schedule a shortmeefing inthe
back room at town hall with all of us, so we all know what we're doing. Lucy leaves on Friday and returns on
October 1st, so that ony leaves tomorrow to meet with Lucy here. If we pass on the October 2nd meeting, the
next is when? The last Tuesday in October'? We need to be prepared visually, now that the text is done.
I had originally checked out the prices for the printing of the photos (or blow ups) and no one thought it was going
to be effective, and was going to cost too much. But now that you have researched the equipment and the need
for transparencies (the oki-fashioned way), we need to re-visit this, or figure out a way to still do the PowerPoint
(Martha, any suggestions?). Digiplot in Boca off Dixie (347-1005), can blow up a digital file any size up to 11 x
14 for $5 per color photo. Or we could have each photo printed on 8x10 (costs?) and then color Xerox them at
kinkos (do-it-yourself) for I think about $1 a piece, and put them in an inexpensive folder/binder-type for the

To Bev & Lucy,
I would love to have a discussion or phone call about the presentation. I went to commissioner's
meeting room yesterday to checkout what they have for presentation.
They have a pull down screen and a transparency projector. It would be costly to transfer digital
photos to transparencies and not a very powerful presentation. I am looking into what I need to make
a power point presentation. But that might be overkill for a ten minute show. I like the idea of
material that can be permanent and dispersed without the need for technology.
Rather than a packet, how about making nice booklets at Kinkos that the commissioners can keep and
also be passed around. Of course, there would be some cost. Is there a budget to do this?

I guess it's time to make phone calls to Lucy & Martha, to see about calling an impromptu workshop meeting. (I

You don't have the text? Lucy or Martha was getting that to you. I have so many versions, that I don't want to

Subject: Found good picture...
I was going thru my old turtle pictures (and I have seven years of them!) and found this one with a Mama
with trash and with the boat, too. Good one to use for our presentation?
I'll keep looking, if not too late. Let me know when the "cut-oft' is for pictures.
Thanks,

Subject: Highland Beach Color Logo Decals for garbage cans...
Hi Guys,
After spotting those colorful round "Town of Highland Beach" logo decals on the white trucks today after the
meeting, I saw Bill Moore out front, and asked him if we could use them for our garbage cans.
He said "yes" and because he only has a few left on file, will be putting in new order for more. He said that he
can order them for our trash cans, too. They are perfect for us and it eliminates the cost & time of an artist! They
are also the right size. But we need to let him know.
I told him that Ruth would be the one to contact him to do so (if we want to do that).
What do you think? If you all are OK with that, Ruth please call him and make sure he orders enough for us! His
email address is bmoorela~mail.ci.hiahland-beach.fl.us
Thanks,
Bev

Dear Kim - to follow are the numbers as of this date to fill in the blanks for the draft.
1. about 95 surveys were sent to beach front condo owners/managers/private homes.
Postage and addresses supplied by the Town of Highland WBeach.
Some were returned marked,"wrong address, moved, partially completed...etc.
Forty-five (45) surveys answered all questions and signed their name.
This was a better than
50$ return.,
Contract Cleaning by a company results are manual 11, mechanical 27, other 2, no
reply 6.
Would you consider a single company to clean the beaches under town supervision?
Yes-28, No-B, Maybe-8
Sample of comments:
1. It should be the towns' responsibilitiy to clean beaches for towns'
usage.
2. Better if all bechfronts are cleaned since some owners do not have their's cleaned.
3. As per Dept. of Natural Resources - Beach raking is determental.
4. Depends on Cost.
Results of petion, Clean Beaches for Highland Beach" as of this date approximately
400signatures of private home owners, condo owners, turtle volunteers, etc.

Dear Lucy,
Hope you are feeling better. You were missed at the meeting this morning.
What do you think of this?
Formally ask Barbara James in writing via email, on behalf of the Beaches and Shores Advisory Board, to
ask all turtle volunteers to start "documenting" the garbage on the beach with pictures, and stories, for
our file, if needed for the Commission to see. Anything that is sign~carrt enough to mention.
You can use the below 8~ pictures attached, as an example, if needed. Q sent to Dr. Kirt at Gumbo Limbo)

Ask Turtle Volunteers to "Document" beach garbage...
Dr. Kirt,
If you need any info for "beach trash" problems, we documented the below.
August 12, 2007
Zone Two
We called it "Greenie Mania" and here are pictures from this rooming! This was a nest that nature covered with a
lot of sand 8~ debris after the mom layed the nest back on June 18th in front of 4117 (Tulin residence). Yesterday
we saw only 2 turtle trax and when we dug down, we couldn't find the nest.
Today, after more babies got out, we dug again and this time there was a huge piece of fiberboard buried there
way down from when Hurricane Wilma took roofs apart two years ago.
I remember seeing that stuff around Boxwood's destruction, all over the beach!
Well, it created a shelf, stopping all these turtles from getting out (see pixy. 63 total would have died. There
were 90 empty (hatched) shells so we know that 27 turtlers got out OK on their own. And there were 6 unhatched
eggs that we reburied.
Lucky we found them. Neat, huh? Look at their little flippers going like wind-up toys!

Subject: Very Rare Hawsbill Babies in Highland Beach
Attachments: Hawksbill (4 scutes).JPG; Hawksbills next to dime.JPG
To share this with those of you who never get to see the turtles.
Highland Beach, in Zone Two, had the only Hawksbill hatching in the entire State of Florida.
It has been documented and recorded. Here are a couple of photos. There were only 5 last year in the entire
state.
I took a "Hawksbill Birthing Video" and as soon as I can get if down in megabyte size (it's 51 mb), I'll email that,
too. Hawksbills look similar to Loggerheads, so it is important to note that they have 4 "scutes" instead of five
scutes down the side of their shells. Scutes are the little square-like designs on the bads of their shells.
And Hawks are "chocolate" in color, top 8 bottom.

Thank you so much! You have been very helpful !!! As, 1 am getting a little confused about all of this.
I have been forwarding your emails to me, to the other board members & David, so we're all in the loop.
So, if you don't mind, whenever you email me, can you copy the others? Just set up a "group"
labeled "Beaches & Shores" so you only have to hit one contact to CC.

Yes, 1 sent final final final to David of the "Standards for Beach Cleanliness and Maintenance"
however, I do not have the ordinances and rules on my computer, and I did tell him he could come
here and pick up a copy. Town Hall closes at 4:30 in regards to holding an evening meeting.

1 think you, Kim & 1, at this point, are having our own -itde conversation here!
I guess it's time to make phone calls to Lucy & Martha, to see about calling an impromptu workshop
meeting. (I think Ruth is out of town.)
You don't have the text? Lucy or Martha was getting that to you. I have so many versions, that I don't
want to forward the wrong one to you. Kim, do you have the final, final?
Will get back to you about the meeting after I talk to Lucy 8~ Martha.

'ould you send me the text you've prepared?
don't think we need to do the step of printing pictures at Digiplot. Until a couple of days
go, I could have printed them myself. But the colors on my printer are screwed up and I
aven't got it fixed yet. However, if we bring a disk to Kinko's with the booklet laid out, the

jest: Re: Found good picture... Sorry but I can't make presentation on Tuesday
Bev ~ Lucy,
would love to have a discussion or phone call about the presentation. I went to commissioner's meeting room
esterday to checkout what they have for presentation.
hey have a pull down screen and a transparency projector. It would be costly to transfer digital photos
~ transparencies and not a very powerful presentation. I am looking into what I need to make a power
pint presentation. But that might be overkill for a ten minute show. 1 like the idea of material that can
~e permanent and dispersed without the need for technology.
than a packet, how about making nice booklets at Klnkos that the commissioners can keep and also be
'around. Of course, there would be some cost. Is there a budget to do this?

and David,
is a great demonstration picture. Maybe just have an enlargement of this to post for the camera.
just sent an email to Dale Sugarman and Kim. Unfotunately, I am not going to be able to make the meeting next
'uesday. My nephew (and traveling companion) is having a tumor removed from his eye that day. I'm going to be
paving here on Friday (9/21) and will be returning probably on October 1. I asked Dale to reschedule the presentation for
he October commissioners meeting (which I think is on October 2 at 1:30).
e commissioners are limiting the presentation to 10 minutes. How do you feel about just having the pictures available
packets to be given to all the commissioners and several sets to pass through the audience? !0 minutes does not allow
xh time for discussion. Let me know your thoughts on this.
Kim Gray ,Gary Guertin , Evie Weiss
wvis going thru my okt turtle pictures (and I have seven years of theml) and found this one with a Mama with trash and
rath the boat, too. Good one to use for our presentation?
keep looking, if not too late. Let me know wt~n the 'cut-o1T is for pictures.

Subject: Re: Ask Turtle Volunteers to "Document" beach garbage...
Bev,
As you and I are quite aware, these are the types of things that we are attempting to stop by having the Commission agree to
standards for the beach. Please print out copies of this evidence of the danger of beach garbage on the turtle population. Ask
Barbara James to send a copy of this to Megan as evidence of interference with turtle nesting.
Copies of this and all other evidentiary material needs to be compiled for presentation to the Commissioners with our request
for beach standards.
I agree that asking the turtle volunteers to gather pictures of anything that is intertering with the turtles nesting or hatching is
desirable so we can compile the information to present to the Commissioners.
I'm going to forward a copy of your memo to Barbara James to ask for her (as well as all the turtle volunteers) help with this
project.
Thanks for such good pictures and evidence. And also for your good wishes...l'm getting really tired of this being sick bit.
Hope to see you on the 28th. Lets get together as much evidence as we can -including addresses of the offenders.
• Thanks again, Lucy

Zone Two
This morning at 6:30 am, right next door to our house, was a huge Mommy Green stuck tight in a lounge chair up
against the boardwalk landing, at 4019 (Toth Residence). She was not ony wedged in, but her right flipper was
also wrapped around the rectangular chair leg, into her armpit. It is the type of chair where the legs are
continuous and go all the way around and she went right into this metal circle. It was awful. And she may have
been there all night trying to get out, as she was exhausted. She had already finished her nest underneath the
stairs. They can't survive in full sun and she would have died, or would have tried to take the chair with her into
the ocean and she would drown. We almost called Dr. Kirt at Gumbo Limbo. But...
Our Zone 2 turtle crew (Amy, Suze, Bill 8~ I, and Coty, our dog) worked our butts off to get her out before the hot
sun came up. And after awhile we did it! And once free, she turned on a dime and hi-tailed it to the ocean. We
didn't think she could go that fast, but she took off, flippers flapping, due east. We could hardly keep up with her
to get these pictures.
• I've also attached a picture of a baby Green so you can see how tiny they start out, in comparison to how big they
get!
We had a busy day...see the "Greenie Mania" email next.

Subject: Highland Beach Color Logo Decals for garbage cans...
Hi Guys,
After spotting those colorful round "Town of Highland Beach" logo decals on the white trucks today after the
meeting, I saw Bi!! Moore out front, and asked him if we could use them for our garbage cans.
He said "yes" and because he only has a few left on file, will be putting in new order for more. He said that he
can order them for our trash cans, too. They are perfect for us and it eliminates the cost & time of an artist! They
are also the right size. But we need to let him know.
I told him that Ruth would be the one to contact him to do so (if we want to do that).
What do you think? if you aN are OK with that, Ruth please call him and make sure he orders enough for us! His
email address is bmcore!a~maii.ci.'highiand-beach.ti.us
Thanks,
Bev

THE PALM BEACH POST • FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2007 15A
•
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Beach restorations do more
damage than they. repair
I am sick of local govern-
rnents`burying their heads
in the sand when it comes to
beach erosion ("Beach erosion
problems spread,"'Iitesday).
Whenever a beach area starts
to erode, local politicians just
throw sand - or a pitiful,.
muddy excuse - at the prob-
letn, hoping that it will go away.
The problem is that each time '
they do that, they are throwing
away taxpayers' money in the
ocean while they destroy valu-
able public trust resources such
as reefs and surfuig areas.
Right now, even though the.
beach sn'tcritically~roded,
the town of Palm Beach is
seeking a permit froth. the U S.
Army Corps of Engineers for
what local surfers, anglers and
divers have dubbed the "Reach
8 Dredge and Dill Project." Con-
tractors hired by the town would
dredge and fill the entire shore-
line from approximately the par-
3 golf course in Palm Beach to
about one-third of a mile south of
`the Lake Worth Pier.
Have we not learned from
our past experiments with this.
practice in Southeast Florida?
Are we going to strip-thine the
continental shelf of every grain
of sediment vaguely resembling
sand, no matter how close it
lies to a coral reef, until it is all
exhausted? These projects per-
form so poorly that they require
frequent maintenance, despite
rapidly if not totally diminish-
ing sand resources left on the
continental. shelf -
There's asimple reasonwhy
.they perform so poorly Thee
material is much lighter and
of a different shape and dear
sity than natural beach sand.
Remember 1Yapic;al Storm
Andrea- and how it washed away.
the fill so easily? Just look at
..the recentlywashed-.away 2006
dredge-and fill project by the
town of Palm Beach at Reach
? (Phipps Park to the par-3
golf course): Or, if that doesn't
convince you, take a'look at the
recentlywashed-out 2006 dune
restoration project by the town:
(within Reach S), which was
constructed using 6,000 truck
loads of the.. same poor-quality
dredged material.
These projects aren't just a
waste oftaxpayers' money;. they
destroy. The dredging silts over
coral reefs next to the "borrow
areas" (read. dredge sites), and`
then the silt from the material.
used in these projects smothers
the nearshore hardbottom.
As a Palm Beach bounty,
residentwho enjoys our golden.
beaches, I call upon fellow
surfers, divers, fishermen and
ocean lovers to stand-up against
Palm Beach`trying to destroy
another beach

• STANDARDS FOR BEACH CLEANLINESS AND MAINTENANCE
The Beaches and Shores Advisory Board wishes to bring to the attention of the Town
Commission the concern of the citizens of the Town regarding the cleanliness and
conditions of the beach.
The members of this advisory board have received more complaints about this
subject than any other. To date there are over 400 "Clean Beaches for Highland
Beach" petition signatures from private home owners, condo owners, turtle
volunteers etc. during the months of June, July, and August. Many citizens will
be returning to our Town in October and November and we estimate at least a
considerably higher number that will sign. Hundreds of residents want the
beaches clean.
New owners have expressed their dissatisfaction with having purchased an
expensive residence in a town that does not consider beach cleanliness of vital
importance.
Realtors have complained to us of having lost sales as a result of the poorly
maintained condition of the beach.
Probably our most important group of citizens who are concerned about the
cleanliness of our beaches are the Turtle Volunteers. These 25 or so volunteers
who daily work our beaches from March through October can testify to the poor
conditions they encounter such as broken glass, metal pipes, splintered wood and
hypodermic needles which are revealed; often scraping the hands of our
volunteers as they go about the task of excavating sea turtle nests. They report
weekly how dangerous it has become for them as well as the hatchlings while
excavating turtle nests.
To date we rely on property owners from private homes to large condos and Palm Beach
County to clean and maintain our beaches on a daily basis. The Town of Highland Beach
defines beach cleanliness as follows.
Sec. 5-4 Rules regulations for use of beaches:
(4) No person shall place or deposit on the beach any loose paper or other trash or
refuse but shall d~osit same in receptacles.
Page 1
• Sec. 5-6 Unlawful deposit of glass, crockery etc:
It shall be unlawful for andperson to throw, cast, la~posit a glass bottle or
piece of crockery or any lag ss or glassware, or an~part thereof on any beach,
whether the ocean beach or Inland Waterways Canal, or other part of the
waterfront.
Sec. 5-9 Littering:
(a.) Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this
section shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except
where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Beaches means that area abutting the Atlantic Ocean consisting of
predominantly sand, whether below or above the mean high water mark.
(b.) Prohibited. No person shall leave or deposit any trash, refuse or debris on any
Beach. Any such trash, refuse or debris shall be placed, when available in a
container clearly marked by the town for such purpose. If there is no
receptacle, or if the receptacle is full, all trash or refuse must be removed from
the beach.
~ (c.) Private beaches. In regard to that portion of the beach determined to be
• Private property no person shall place or deposit on any such beach and
refuse or debris. Further, the owner of the private property shall not allow
trash, refuse or debris to remain on his property for a period of time rg eater
than seven (7) days after notification by the town. Any such trash, refuse or
debris located upon private beachfront property shall be properlyposed of
in a manner otherwise provided by the codes and regulations of the town.
(d.) Violation. AnYprivate property owner found to be in violation of this section
Shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the town's code enforcement ordinance,
and subject to penalties- prescribed by the code enforcement board for each
day a violation is determined to exist.
The ordinances specifically refer to beach cleanliness, but the town's "Nuisances"
ordinance (Chapter 17) is the overall ordinance in which town cleanliness is defined and
enforced.
Page 2
w_ t
An informal survey of beachfront properties conducted by the Beaches and Shores
Advisory Board in January 2007 showed that beach clean-up methods, and frequency of
cleaning are at best inconsistent and at worst non-existent. Our investigation into the
possibility of enforcement of cleanliness codes was disappointing. It is well known that
three (3) beach cleaning companies work our beaches and that the methods of cleaning,
use of equipment, etc. is inconsistent between the three, giving different results from the
standpoint of cleanliness and beach preservation.
The Beaches and Shores Advisory Board believes the current situation should not
continue. We request your approval to proceed with a 4 part action plan toward
"cleaning up" our beaches:
1. While some of the current (old) ordinances should be maintained, they should
be expanded upon and strengthened to include more specific standards.
2. Cleaning of beaches should be studied from a "town" perspective rather than a
"Private owner perspective".
3. Professional beach cleaning services standards need to be tightened to include
~ ~ more consistent methods of cleaning.
4. Enforcement of whatever direction is taken needs to be determined. What is the
• Public's role and what is the role of local Government Enforcement?
We have studied all of the above actions and are ready to move forward at the direction
of the Town Commissioners. We are prepared to respond to your directions.
JC
Sincerely,
The Beaches and Shores Advisory Board ~~~
