3.                 Land Clearing:

Port Manager Chris Phalen said she and Commissioner Stevens met with Mr. Moore the other day. Mr. Moore called later saying that is not 2 ½     acres but only 2 acres. Port Manager Phalen called Shelton to confirm this and was told that it is only 2 acres. Mr. Moore was going to fax Port Manager Phalen his bid for clearing that night, but didn’t receive it before leaving the house. Mr. Moore is charging us $4000.00 per acre and he will do the burning. Commissioner Steven’s said Durbin was charging $2,900.00 per acre. We still haven’t heard from Mike Huson. Port Manager Chris Phalen was asked to call Durbin and ask him to change his bid.

 

The campground was discussed on ways to improve the park. Port Manager Chris Phalen said we need to do something with the kitchen down there, that the ceiling needs to be covered with plywood. Commissioners told Port Manager Phalen to get bids on doing the work and get back to them at the next meeting.

 

The Oyster house was discussed and in what ways we might work with Mankee to lease that property. A boat launch was discussed.

 

Park fees were also discussed. No decisions were made at this time.
