Port of Orcas
Minutes of the Regular Meeting
July 15, 2004
Call to order and confirmation of a quorum
The meeting was called to order at 7:00P.M. in the Port conference room by Steve Hopkins, Chairman pro tem. A quorum was present. Attending were: Steve Hopkins, Frank Cantwell, Al Edwards, Jack Becker, Bea vonTobel, Eric Johnson.
Approval of minutes
Edwards moved, Becker seconded approval of the minutes of the regular meeting of June 24, 2004 as presented, and the motion was unanimously carried.
Public access time
Eric Johnson was present to inquire of Commissioners whether they were familiar with any stormwater drainage easement across lot #1 and then through the beach to the outfall at the northwest corner of the airport. His perusal of the Ferris deed had found some reference to same, but no specific language except that "grantee shall have the right to construct . . . " such conveyance. Because he had an interested buyer for the property, he wanted to know whether to retain a drainage easement across the property, as had been recommended by Gregg Bronn, who had completed other engineering work for lots #3 and #4.
The Commissioners agreed that Johnson might wish to seek legal advice on the matter.
