Fishery Committee in the near future. General comments and discussion included: · Concerns of people leaving fish carcasses on the beach.
· Use of turnout at the bridge; it was noted the turnout is State owned and

It was suggested the city research liability responsibilities relating to
death caused by persons stepping out too far into the river and being carried away by
the current. (It was noted signage may help in that regard.)

operations seem to be getting better each year. There were no questions.
7-bo
Dock Foreman -- No report.
7-c. City Council Liaison -- Council Member Bookey reported the following:
· A helmet ordinance was passed by council at the August 4 meeting. He
explained the ordinance and noted it would affect persons under the age of 16.
Morris Porter, who previously donated antique Snug Harbor equipment to
the city, would like to have it donated back to him. There is a tax problem in allowing
that to be done. If the city declares it surplus equipment, it would have to go to
auction. Bookey stated he believed the city should keep the equipment.
