Commissioner Stevens said we have two bids. One from South Shore Construction, and one from Durbin Resources & Excavation.

Commissioner Edwards made a motion to accept Durbin’s bid. Motion carried. Commissioner Edwards said, we need to get a time frame. Port Manager Chris Phalen said she got an email from Mrs. Durbin today and she asked to be informed as soon as I knew something. Port Manager Phalen added that she would email her tomorrow that they got the bid. The contract was signed.

 

                                     

4.                 Budget:

Port Manager Chris Phalen said she put the budget together, and when she called Kathy, in Shelton, she said the Port did not have to hire an auditor. We need to set a date and tie to come to Shelton, and they would show us what and how we needed to handle the paper work. They will still take care of everything, but it will be done differently. She said the budget would also be done differently too.

A date was set to go to Shelton either the 22nd, or 23rd of October. Port Manager Chris Phalen will set up date and time and contact the Commissioners. Commissioner Edwards said he would like to have Joel Manke’s phone number. He had talked to someone that told that Joel was getting married and would like to set up an appointment with him if possible. Port Manager Phalen was going to contact him with the number.
