Mayor Porter began the work session at approximately 6:00 p.m.
City Manager Koch provided an overview of the 2013 Dip Net Report and noted it was another
large salmon run this season; however, different than previous years on the length and timing of
the runs. Koch also reported on the increase in high tides this season. Most notable difference
this year was the reduced amount of fish waste on the beach as a result of the disposal of fish
waste required to be placed in the water and time provided for evening beach raking.
Parks & Recreation Director Bob Frates reported on the operations and maintenance of the
fishery and spoke in favor of the increased amount of signage placed on the beach instructing
dip netters of the rules and regulations.
Finance Director Eubank provided a financial report advising the City collected $440,000 in
revenues, $43,000 under what was projected. Eubank reported the fishery was categorized as
a separate enterprise and a new cashiering system was implemented. Eubank reviewed capital
and additional expenditures versus revenues.
Police Chief Sandahl provided a public safety report advising fewer citations were issued
compared to previous years due to new law requiring citations to be issues in person and for an
increased presence of Temporary Enforcement Officers.
Council reviewed the 2013 Dipnet Report and allowed for public comment.
The following items are to be discussed for the 2014 dipnet season:
• Elimination of on-street parking in Old Town, July10-July 31
