To provide continuity for research, items are in agenda order although not necessarily
discussed in that order.
ITEM 1 ~ Call to Order ~ 8:00 a.m. at the municipal marina
ITEM 2 - Minutes Approval - April 7. 1999
;.,,,)
'.......,/
Item 5 should read "Mr. Epstein". also Mr. Wilhelm was absent and they recessed at
9:00 and rejoined at 9:07 am. Approved as amended.
, '
ITEM 3 - Mission Statement to Commission
The board looked at the ordinance outlining the board's powers and duties. As stated in
the ordinance the board can "make recommendations on marine related matters", to advise the
commission. The Memorial Causeway was considered a enforcement matter and was not
brought before the MAS for discussion. Mr. Morris stated that at the end of summer the city will
be granted jurisdiction over the beach area and may put up fences to restrict use of area after
sunset. He felt that the board could make recommendations or proposals about what they
would like to see done, maybe in letter form. The ordinance leaves room for a broad
interpretation of their powers and duties and doesn't restrict them by naming specific waterways
or accesses.
ITEM 4 R Siqnage in the Channel
Mr. Morris stated that we had received a verbal "ok" from the state, but are waiting for
the paper documentation and will be done as soon as It comes. The USCG is looking at
changing one of their signs so we could change the direction of the sign. The sign on the jetty is
as large as we could make it because of winds. The state gave us the additional yardage past
the jetty.
There is a problem with the wakes around Harbor Island, maybe a green sign should be
put up to keep them away from the docks. Mr. Morris will check into the county ordinances to
o see if we can adopt something similar. He will bring info to the next meeting.

Mr. Martens referred Commissioner Clark to Mr, Hemerick concerning acting as liaison
.with the commission as contact people. June will be Mr. Martens last meeting as his 2 term limit
will be up, '.
Concerning the park garage sites, the board unanimously voted to send a letter to the
. commission to strongly suggest that they not use the marina site for the garage. .
. Mr. Morris talked to Terry Finch, Environmental Programs Manager with the city,
regarding the bird sanctuary signs on the spoil islands and she reported that these signs were
put out by the Audubon Society and was not enforceable by the city but just to tell people to
keep off the' islands.
