Suzanne Buxton and Joann Hasman volunteer to help OJ Dave get current on who is current and up to date on the pier.

New Business- Don Sullivan informs us that the City of KW wants to install a fence around the pier on the land side and across the pier from the stage to the "T". The City claims it is due to Security reasons for the cruise ships. City claims FDLE is mandating a fence if they want to continue docking ships.

Bob Goldman speaks- suggesting that if the city doesn't renew the Bay Bottom Lease it we will need the public help to get it back.

Eddy W. says let's start making calls to the state. If the City rollsover the lease it will have to be inspected by the state and if the City wants changes in the lease Eddy will be able to find out ahead of time. Eddy's contact with the Sate says it would not be in the best interest of the City to let the lease lapse because the pier would become a personal watercraft pier and no more Cruise Ships could dock there and we won't be required to pay rent to the City either.

Attorney Bob says to ask for FDLE mandate from the City asking for the fence. Create a pattern in writing in regard to all issues concerning changes that may take place at Mallory.

Get a copy of all Land use agreements and send letters to all parties involved. Request the City put on the City Commision Agenda the Renewal of the Bay Bottom Lease. Remind them the lease is up and that we are here.

Letter 1 - Proposed by Don. Eddy W drafts a letter to City and CC FDEP.

Letter 2 - Letter to the city asking who has requested the fence. Ask for a copy of the letter requiring this.

Letter 3- Letter to Navy, if necessary re: Navy/ Cruise ship issue. Ask for meeting with the Navy.

Wink recommends going right to the Navy Base Commander and ask for guidance in regard to this matter.

Don S. motions Sabrina, Eddy and Don be the letter writing committee. Antonio 2nds. Passed.

OJ Dave has an add in the pap for Pier Manager. It will run for one week. The starting pay for the new Pier Manager will be $12.

Meeting Adjourned.
