MARINA Assistant City Manager Scharer reported on the preliminary
Hart, Krivatsky & Stubee (H.K.S.) report which was
prepared for the Army Corps of Engineers. Al Alys,
Chairman of the Council Marina_Committee, addressed the
Council and expressed his feeling that the project
should not be aborted at this time,, even though the
financing picture is not good. He suggested we communicate
with our Legislators to see if we can cause the interest
rate on a State loan to be rolled back from the current
rate of 8 %. Staff advised they would be working on
reduction of the restrictive BCDC permit requirements,
the possibility of using aerators in the Marina, and
determination of responsibility for downstream erosion.
The City Manager noted the City should send comments
back to H.K.S. by December 1, and the Marina Committee
was asked to give its input to the Army Corps of Engineers
as quickly as possible. Mr. Bob McLaughlin addressed
the Council in support of the Marina.
Morgan Nobel's November 5 letter, proposing that he do
temporary in—house work to aid the City in development
of the Marina, was determined to be premature. Council
agreed to discuss that proposal after the H.K.S. final
report has been issued.
ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 5:40 p.m.
