Honorable Board of City Commissioners, City of Clearwater, Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: A number of boat slips have been completed and within a very short time others will be completed and ready ror occupancy at the City's new Uarinus at Clearwate~ Beach. A number of boat owners a~e already using the dock space without paying any rental to the City. It 1s my opinion that this is a source of revenue that the City should immediately avail itselr of, even though the City's plans for the completion and operation or this faoility are in no wise complete. Since there is now under advisement by the Commission a plan by which the facilities o~ the lmrinus will be greatly expanded by the construction and improvements on the land adjacent to the docking area, it has occurred to me that it 1s impractioal for the City Manager or the City Commission to determine at this time the qualifications and experience bacltground that will be necessary for a dock master. I feel that the best interest of the City can be served by employing immediately a person to ma'nage the operations of the incompleted facility until such time aa it can be definitoly deter.mined by the City ~mnager and the City govermaent the exact status of the posi~ tion to be created for the overseeing and management of the facility as a whole. It is, therefore, my recommendation that the City Commission authorize the City Manager to employ, at a salary to be established by the Commission, a person to nanage the Marinus facility until such time as the City formulates definite working plans and can employ a regular dock master.

In making this decision the Board ~eels that to proteot the City and the sanitation of Itplumbing" the Board must be rigid and not accept any examinations or licenses of other oities. To do so would have a tendency to lower the standards of "plumbing" and give,less protection to the public health of the community. . '. 'j, . ,', ":. ,." ',.:' ...... """ , " ,...

A number af boat owners are alreacly using the dock spaca without paying any rental to tLze Cit�*. It is my opinion that thia is a source of revenue that the City should itr¢ne+�iately avaal 3tself o�, even though the City�s plans for the completion and oper��tion of this faci7.ity are in no wise complete. Sincts thore is now ur.ider advisement by the Conunisaian a plan by which the facilit�es of tYie P,4arinus will be greatly expanded by the constructian and improvements on the land �djacent to the doc�ing area, it has occurred to me tha� i� 3s impractical for the C,ity Mana�er or the City Co�iasion to deterniine at this time the qualifications ancl experionce background that will be necessary for a dock master. I feel that t?-ie best interest of the City can b�, served by employ3ng inmediatel� � person to manage the operations of the incompleted facility until such time as it can be clefinitely determined by the City PrIanager and the City goverru,�ent the exact status of the posi- tic�n to be created for the oversseing and rianagement of the facility as a whole. It is, therefore, my recommendation that the City Corunission authorize the City Managar to emplog, at a salary to'be established by the Counnission, a person to manage the hiarinus facil3ty untiT :�uch time as the City formulates definite workin� plans and can amploy a regular doek master.
