The Chair called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. at the City Marina. To
provide continuity for research, the Items will be in agenda order although not
necessarily discussed In that order.
Approval of Minutes. August 12, 1998
No corrections or changes were suggested to the minutes and the Chair
declared them approved as submitted in writing to each member.
New Member
The Chair welcomed new member Hank Epstein and acknowledg~d a letter
from the Mayor thanking former member Eric Spaulding for his time on the ,board.
Mr. Epstein reviewed his background.
ITEM 1 . Discuss Wake Zone in Mandalav Channel
Discussion ensued regarding the wake zone in Mandalay Channel. Don
Harrill, an area resident, had requested moving the marker farther north, to the
center of the channel., The no wake zone sign is on a separate piling. Red marker
2 and green marker 1 are on the east side of the channel. It was suggested the no
wake zone piling be removed and the sign be placed on green marker 1 at the north
end of the ch'annell. Concern was expressed too many wake zones exist. Acting
Harbormaster Mike Hancock said moving the wake zone requires a rewrite of the
City ordinance. Coast Guard and State approval a/so is required. It was suggested
the Coast Guard be requested to review markers. If no resolution is possible, the
board can re-address this issue.
Member Hemerick moved to recommend moving the no wake zone one
quarter mile north to green marker 1. Members Martens, Dohrman, Hemerick, and
Cline voted "Aye"; Members McFarland, Wilhelm, and Hank Epstein voted I'Nay."
Motion carried.

Consensus was to not recommend moving markers 1 and 2 to the center of
the channel. It was felt if the no wake zone is extended to the north, moving the
channel would not be necessary.
Mr. Hancock said he will start the process related to the motion, and will
inform the new Harbormaster of the board's concerns. In response to a question,
he' said the City Commission will make the final determination regarding this
recommendation.
ITEM 2 - Status of Fishino Piers at Clearwater Pass Bridae
.~. .
Mr. Hancock anticipates the fishing piers at the Clearwater Pass bridge will
be completed by November 30,,1998. The decking'will be constructed with
recycled lumber with a life expectancy of up to 20 years, will be ADA (Americans
with Disabilities Act) accessible, and free of charge. Approximately 6 trash
receptacles will be available. In response to a question, he said a recent newspaper
article had referred to piers on the north end of the causeway and one in the
Seminole area. These piers will not be funded with Penny for Pinellas funds.
Construction of 3 fishing piers on the north end of Sand Key are on schedule, with
an anticipated completion date of November 30, 1998.
, I
Other Business
.,
"--? Mr. Hancock said Dunedin had requested a County-wide ordinance regarding
jet ski operators. Police Chief Sid Klein. Planning and Development Services
Lorenzo Aghemo, and other City personnel have expressed interest in drafting the
ordinance. Current!y, no City ordinance addresses the use o'f personal watercraft in
Clearwater. Consensus was for the Chair to attend all related meetings.
Discussion ensued regarding accidents involving personal watercraft. It was
remarked 5% of accidents involve jet skis operated by untrained people. It was
noted the government does not require insurance for personal watercraft
operations. A member stated Texas had passed a mandatory education program
for watercraft operators.
In response to a question, Mr. Hancock said 6 months ago Pinellas County
Solid Waste and the Center for Marine Conservation had completed a survey
regarding where to dump waste, what to do with used oil, etc.
Discussion ensued regarding board members' terms. Member Cline stated
he will not extend his term. He has enjoyed his tenure on the board. Member
Dohrman was unsure if his term will be extended.
