Meeting Minutes
2.16..21
Discussion Items:
A. Lafarge update from Randi Willie regarding the status of the gravel pit.
Plan review is required every year and Randi Wilie gave the over view and presentation to The
Counsel. The phases of mining were explained, explained that they are still in the dry mining
phase, next is the wet mining phase, they were behind from last year to the events that have
occurred in 2020. Only one complaint this year from neighbors, a good track record.
B. All Marine Retro Rental Expansion Proposal
Presented by Bill Hobson, met with Michelle and Dillan Streit, boat rentals concessions etc.
They were able to open after Labor Day, due to all that occurred in 2020. The owners were on
the call and they talked about signage and how to make them more visible to the public. One
idea was placing a boat at Miller Point Pier with advertising or the Buddyz' Pier. Talk about
interest in a liquor license also occurred, it would be nice for those waiting in the area to enjoy.
The extension of the license agreement for another year was also discussed, due to what
happened last year. The kayaks and pontoons are the best-selling features.
Staff Reports:
Director Hobson, Shamrock of the Fox 5k, dying of river and open carry are the three easiest
to address right now during the pandemic. The parade may not be the safest part at this
moment and would be the one event that may be held off, he will keep The Counsel updated.
