Unfinished Business
1. Port of Orcas Capital Projects for 2003: status report
- Drainage
Commissioners McCoy and Hopkins reported a synopsis of the meeting held on April 17, with representatives from SJCPW, Hart Pacific, SJC Permit Center and the airport manager. SJCPW needs to complete work before it can determine how they might cooperate in a stormwater drainage plan and work with the Port. It was also noted that issuance of an occupancy permit for the new hangar project would assure that all the criteria had been followed. Amanda Azous will be contacted by the lessees to determine how runoff from the hangar project might/might not affect the wetland to the west. The AM reported that Jan Flagan of SJCPW had mentioned the lessees were examining the use of grasscrete to fulfill detention and treatment issues. Ed LeCocq noted that onsite treatment would be great, and hoped it would be possible.
- GPS approach
Chairman Cantwell reported on the upcoming April 30 meeting with the FAA and wondered whether the aircraft fuel costs for the trip might be reimbursable. A positive voice affirmation was given.
- Electrical building and generator
Some discussion was generated relative to the recommendation by the FAA to include a new 15KW generator. After discussion, the Commissioners agreed that it would be in the best interests of the Port to install a new generator, and perhaps declare as surplus the current generator.
2. Pending litigation: status report
No new information had been received.
3. Port of Orcas Logo Contest: results
After contemplating the entries from three individuals, the Commissioners selected a concept and asked Commissioner McCoy, whose mother's entry (Louellen McCoy) had been selected, to ask for a few modifications and present the finished product at the next regular meeting.
4. Bob Schoen Memorial: status report
Commissioner McCoy reported that a meeting with Barbara LaBrash, Louellen McCoy and Mary Schoen was scheduled for Monday, April 28 to discuss details for the proposed photograph and plaque. She also
noted that the family would be on the island at the end of June for a memorial service, which would be an appropriate time to hold a ceremony.
Cantwell moved, Abood seconded naming the terminal portion of the building the Bob Schoen Terminal, and the motion was unanimously carried.
5. Access Document: status report
This item was postponed until the next regular meeting.
6. Proposed frequency change: status report
Chairman Cantwell reported that he had a conversation with Pat Mayo from the Port of Friday Harbor related to this topic. After discussion, there was general consensus that no meeting with the FAA would be scheduled until there is more definite action on their part. He also reported that the Washington DC FAA representative(s) wish the frequency change, but several other FAA personnel do not.
New Business
1. Marlo access to Port property
Commissioner Abood presented a rough drawing representing the proposed fence line for the new hangars proposed at the landing.
