discussed again at the next meeting. Kornelis will provide the material.

Kornelis noted there were no major changes to the budget and there were no capital
projects planned for the Harbor.
Councilman Bookey reported Representative Lancaster will introduce a bill to charge a
$10.00 fee to dipnetters. Discussion took place on the fee structure and it was noted
that if the bill were to pass, the money would go into the General Fund but efforts
would be made to assure those funds would ultimately support that fishery.
Discussion took place on fish cleaning done by the dipnetters and it was noted there
had been a tremendous improvement from previous years due to enforcement and
efforts on behalf of the City and State by providing dumpsters, etc.
