   D. Pier Managers Report. Not much to report in this period. We seem to be in season and there has not been much grumbling or thrashing. Mondays have become reasonably workable with the ship out well before sunset. Performers have been behaving and we have no had much need to use the revolving circus spot. The shared music pitch has been employed a few times without and difficulty. I recently did a key count and had Wink replace the missing keys form regular and snowbird in waiting, keys that have been missing a number of months. There has been suspicion voiced about a certain participant, fut frankly I don't believe that person has been lifting keys. I watch people's hands pretty closely when they draw and unless they are really good at sleight of hand I have not seen any nonsense. Other than a complaint that has been formally filed which does not relate to my or Annie's duties, there have been no untoward incidents. Even the spring breakers seem like a fairly courteous lot. Motion to approve by Christi8ne, second by Danielle.
