ITEM 7: REPORTS
7-a. Director-- Kornelis reported the dock was nearly shut down. The
Manager is on vacation but Bob Dietrich is still on site. Restroom renovation is taking
place at the dock in an effort to prevent any more vandalism.
Discussion took place on the revenue generated during the dip net season and it was
reported to be in excess of $30,000. When asked what the overhead cost was at the
dock, Kornelis replied the cost was fairly low because of the assistance provided by
State Parks as well as the summer hire positions.
Discussion took place on options for additional boat launch pads at the dock and
Kornelis explained the cost involved at the dock for start up and shut down. Kornelis
added the City was required to perform many of the functions at the dock to include
crane inspections, fuel line hydro-testing, etc.
Kornelis reported R&J Seafoods had their boats in the storage yard.
7-bo
Dock Foreman -- No report.
7-c. City Council Liaison -- Councilman Bookey gave a brief report on status
of the boat launch proposal for Cunningham Park. It was noted the State and City
were looking at property further down river. Bookey reported the parcel of land below
Cunningham Park was too small for the type of launch the state had in mind.
