The Chair called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. at the Marina.
. To provide continuity for research, items are in agenda order although not
necessarily discussed in thot order.
ITEM 2 - June 14. 2000. Minutes Approval
8 Member Wilhelm requested the minutes reflect he was present at the June
. 14, 2000, meeting. It also was requested that Item 3, paragraph 7, sentence 6
read 1I".one'nay for Mr. Wilhelm.,," The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
ITEM 3 ...: Amendment to Ordinance Draft
Harbormaster Morris said staff is proposing a change to a City ordinance that
limits vessel speed at 5 miles per hour within 50 feet of shore or docks. Staff is
concerned that there is no buffer at Island Estates along Harbor Island and
Windward Passage. Smaller power boats and jet skis are posing a problem in that
area. Mr. Morris said staff plans to place buoys in those areas in a public education
effort to make those areas safer. It was requested that no pilings be used in those
areas due to safety concerns. The County is proposing the idle speed limit extend
out to 200 feet. It was remarked that no-wake zones keep expanding and too many
restrictions are being placed on the waterway and boaters' rights.. It was remarked
that it is difficult to remove a boat from a 11ft because of the intense wakes in these
areas from large, careless boaters and jet-skiers near docks.
',-)
Member Horne moved to recommend to the Commission that from the
northern end of Harbour Island, a 200-foot no~wake zone be extended from the
northern tip to the eastern side of Harbour Island through the eastern edge of Palm
Island southeast. The motion was duly seconded. Concern was expressed that the
extension will cause boaters to run up on banks on the opposite side. Discussion
ensued and it was remarked the 200~foot no-wake zone would not run boaters into
the mud flats. Upon the vote being taken, Chair Hemerick and Members Epstein,

Mr. Morris said nothing has been done to the Sailing Center's ramp where
more sand is needed. Staff is waiting for a SWFMO (Southwest Florida
Management District) permit as the issue involves leasing bottom land from the
State.
Member Wilhelm moved to recommend to the Commission that the
Engineering Department use the existing footprint of the current Memorial
Causeway Bridge for some type of marine activities. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously. Member Wilhelm will write a letter to the
Commission and City Manager with copies to the City Engineer regarding the bridge
footprint being salvaged for marine activities and the MAS's desire to be included in
development proposals of marine activities, especially near the bridge.
