Special Executive Board Meeting December 28, 2015

RE: Marina Dredging

The meeting was called to order at 12:00 PM by President Don Williams.  In attendance were Jan Thompson Vice President, Andy Koosman Secretary, and Tom Moore Member at Large.

A discussion was held in regards to the BCCA permitting process to dredge the marina opening.

All County and State permits are in place.  Missing is the permit from the Army Corp of Engineers.  The Corp has stated its request that the BCCA and the Rock Point Oyster Company, Inc. (Rock Point) reach an agreement in regards to BCCA dredging material being placed on the Admiral Row beach front.

Rock Point has a concern that sediment from the dredging material will cause damage to their oyster and clam beds and wants BCCA to accept liability for any such damages.  BCCA has presented Rock Point with information from Marine Surveys and Assessments and Coastal Geologic Services, Inc. that show no damage would (should) occur.

Agreement was reached concluding:

1. A meeting to be set up with Rock Point Oyster Company, Inc. to discuss and hopefully reach an agreement that will allow BCCA to continue with the marina dredging process.
2. Have MSA review Rock Point permits including county, state, and federal.
3. Ask Rock Point if they can delineate their property used for clam and oyster beds.
4. Jan Thomson and Andy Koosman will be gone after the first week of January until April.  It was asked if a conference call could be placed where they could be included in the meeting with Rock Point.

A motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting at 1:00 PM

Respectfully submitted by Andy Koosman, Secretary
