5. 4LD BUSINESS
a. Mooring Buoys - Barry Eldridge stated that the city would have to keep an eye out to
make sure that a navigable channel is maintained. Swede said he has already spoken
with the Coast Guard and they are willing to work with him on this. He felt it would
be beneficial if the city had a deep anchor at the mouth of the river though for boats
with a deep draft.

b. Float Access Ramp - Swede explained how the floats will be extended to 10 feet,
which will help for stability. There would be no metal plate at the bottom of the
ramp to prevent a tripping hazard.
c. Designated Lease Lots - Barry Eldridge suggested designating some lease lots to be
made available near the docks for local marine businesses. He suggested putting them
out to bid to see if there is any local interest. There would need to be some sort of
specifications as to building size and conditions. Barry suggested the lot size be 50
feet by 50 feet. Tom Thompson suggested the lot size be 25 feet by 25 fee, if a
larger lot were needed they could lease two. Jim Bookey stated that electricity and
telephone would need to be made available.
Barry Eldridge MOVED to have the harbormaster and Council look at laying out lots
of approximately 25x25 feet and solicit by publication for interest. George Spracher
SECONDED the motion. A vote was unanimous. Jim Bookey will approach
Council at their next meeting.

8 COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND OUESTIONS
Swede stated that the floats are not in yet. He stated that the launch ramps will probably be
put in on the 15th.
Will Jahrig asked about an update on the rip rap. Swede stated that the pillars are 2-1/2 feet
up to 6 feet wide and up to 65 feet in length. Their estimated value was approximately
$11,000 each with a total valuation of about $875,000.
Jim Bookey stated he would discuss with Council at their next meeting the possibiliry of
using the rip rap. He was concerned about the cost of an engineering study and placement
costs. Barry Eldridge recommended asking Council to do a feasibility study. Jun stated he
didn't see the city jumping in to do something like that any tune soon.
Swede stated [hat Homer will be putting in green buoys. They are also going to be marking
the channel there. He stated that they will be taking IKE out.
