2. Report from Special Meeting April 30, 2005
Commissioners agreed that better time management would have been helpful so as to promote inter-port discussion, but all agreed that meeting the other commissioners, the county commissioners, and economic development staff had been valuable. The Port of Orcas will host this next spring.
New Business
