[Items 1 & 2]
          [00:00:08]
          ADVISORY BOARD MEETING OF JANUARY 27TH. LET'S HAVE THE ROLL CALL, 
          PLEASE. >> PAUL LORE. >> HERE. 
          >> ALLEN MILLS. >> HERE. >> JOE BLANCHARD. 
          >> HERE. >> TERRY LACOSS. >> HERE. 
          >> KEVIN MCCARTHY? >> HERE. >> LET'S HAVE A PLEDGE OF ALLE ALLEGIANCE, PLEASE. 
          >> THANK YOU. IF EVERYONE'S HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE MINUTES, THEY SHOULD 
          [Item 3]
          BE ON EVERYONE'S SCREEN NOW. >> YES. MAKE A MOTION. 
          >> SECOND. >> ALLEN'S MADE THE SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          OKAY. THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED. THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          [Item 4]
SO, WE DO HAVE MR. BRONSON LAMB HERE TONIGHT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK FOR JUST 
          A SECOND? YOU'RE HERE. >> OKAY. 
          >> GIVE US A LITTLE UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE. >> GOOD EVENING. 
          >> YOUR NAME? >> BRONSON LAMB. THE SOUTH BASIN IS OPEN AND THE CONTINUE ATOR IS OPEN. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR HELP FOR THE LAST YEAR AND HOWEVER 
          MANY MONTHS. >> SO WHERE'S THE CHAMPAGNE? >> WILL FOLLOW. 
          THAT'S ALL GOING IN. ALL THE ELECTRIC, ALL THAT'S DONE AND BEEN CHECKED OFF. 
          >> OKAY. >> TOMORROW I'LL BE DOWN IN ST. PETE LOOKING AT THE SHOP DRAWINGS FOR THE NORTH CONTINUATOR. THERE'S SIX SECTIONS GOING IN THERE. EACH SECTION IS DIFFERENT, UTILITIES, CONDUITS. 
          I'LL BE DOWN THERE TOMORROW LOOKING AT THOSE. AND THEY SHOULD START ORDERING THOSE FAIRLY SOON. HOPE TO HAVE THEM OPERATIONAL JUNE. 
          WE HAD THE CONTRACT, THE PIECES WILL SHOW UP, THE SECTIONS, AT THE PORT, JUST LIKE WE DID THE SOUTH. 
          THEN THE CONTRACTOR WILL SHOW UP WITH THE TILES AND TAKE THE OLD OUT, PUT THE NEW IN. ONCE THOSE ARE ALL IN, THEN THE UTILITIES GO IN, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE FUELING. 
          THAT'S THAT. 300 FEET OF DOCK VERSUS WHAT WE JUST PUT IN, WHICH IS ABOUT 3,000 FEET. 
          SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALLER. 13 PILES. 
          SAME DIAMETER PILES, JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER, DEEPER AND THICKER. WALL THICKNESS IS THICKER. 
          ALL THREE QUARTER, 90 FEET LONG, 30 INCH IN DIAMETER. 
          >> THOSE ARE PAINTED INSIDE AND OUT? 
          >> THE TOP 45 FEET ARE. >> TOP 45 FEET? 
          >> YES. 150 MILLS. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> THANK YOU FOR OVERLOOKING EVERYTHING. 
          THAT'S GREAT. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. 
          >> THANK YOU, BRONSON. ANOTHER ITEM THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT AND I'LL BRING THIS UP BECAUSE IT'S BEEN KICKED AROUND THE LAST WEEK OR SO. I THINK IT'S CALLED ST. MARY'S 
          TALL SHIP ASSOCIATION. >> ALLIANCE. 
          >> TALL SHIP ALLIANCE. >> JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW, THEY WANTED TO BE HERE FOR THIS. IF WE CAN CIRCLE AROUND TO THIS A FEW MINUTES. I SAID IT WOULD BE ON THE AGENDA AT 6:15. IF YOU COULD JUST MOVE TO SOMETHING SO HE HEARS THE SEGUE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT 
          OURSELVES. >> THAT WOULD BE FINE. 
          HE DID SAY HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO BE HERE TONIGHT. 
          WE WANT TO INCLUDE HIM IN THAT DISCUSSION. 
          >> I HAVE GOT A QUESTION FOR BRONSON, IF HE'S UPDATING ALL, CAN I ASK HIM ABOUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO TALK? 
          >> IF YOU COULD COME BACK UP, PLEASE. 
          I'M SORRY. >> I SAID I WAS GOING TO BRING IT UP LATER, BUT WHILE BRONSON IS HERE, MIGHT AS WELL ASK HIM. 
          THE THROW RING. WE DON'T HAVE OUR THROW RINGS ON THERE. NOW WE GOT IT BACK OPEN OR SOMEBODY FALLS IN, WE HAD THE PEDESTALS BEFORE BUT THEY'RE NOT THERE. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS CONCERN THEY MIGHT FLY OFF BECAUSE OF THE ALARM SYSTEM. 
          >> THE THROW RINGS ARE PRESENTLY IN THE DOCK MASTER'S OFFICE. 
          [00:05:03]
I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT OUT OPERATIONALLY, WHAT THEIR INSTALLATION PLAN'S GOING TO BE. 
          >> IF YOU COULD PUT A PIECE OF VELCRO OVER IT SO SOMEBODY COULD SEE IT TO PULL IT AND THROW SO IT THE WIND WOULDN'T BLOW IT OFF. SOMEBODY MIGHT FALL IN WITH ALL THE PEOPLE DONE THERE NOW WALKING AROUND. 
          EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. 
          GOT A FEW THINGS WE'LL BRING UP LATER ON, BUT I THINK THAT'S THE MOST CONCERNING THING I SAW DOWN THERE WITH THE SAFETY. 
          >> WE STILL HAVE THEM ON THE NORTH SIDE. 
          >> NOW THE NEW ONES HAVE ALARMS ON THEM. 
          JUST LIKE IF YOU OPEN UP THE DOOR FOR THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER THE ALARM GOES OFF. IF YOU PULL THE RING OFF, THE ALARM GOES OFF. I CAN UNDERSTAND MAYBE THE WIN MAKING IT BLOW OFF. IF THEY COULD PUT A PIECE OF VELCRO AT THE BOTTOM OF IT WITH A RED TAB TO PULL IT. 
          >> WE MAY NEED TO UPDATE THE THROW RINGS ON THE NORTH SIDE, TOO, THEN. GOOD POINT. 
          >> YEP. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. WE'LL COME BACK TO THE TALL SHIPS. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. OH, YEAH. 
          SO, IF YOU WOULD LIKE, STAND UP FOR JUST A SECOND. 
          THIS IS THE MAN THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO JOIN US ON THE BOARD. 
          CITY COMMISSION HAS YET TO APPROVE HIM. 
          BUT WE THOUGHT WE'D INVITE HIM TONIGHT SO WE COULD PUT A FACE TO HIS NAME. MIKE, THANKS FOR COMING. 
          THERE'S THE FACE. GREAT, MIKE. 
          THANK YOU. THAT WAS OFFERED BY JOE BLANCHARD. LET'S SEE. 
          SO THAT WILL BE ON THE AGENDA FOR FEBRUARY 4TH, CITY COMMISSION. I MAY OR MAY NOT BE HERE. 
          I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE OUT OF TOWN THAT DAY. 
          [Item 5.1]
OLD BUSINESS THEN. WE NEED TO SELECT BOTH OUR -- THIS IS THE TWO NEXT ITEMS. WOULD BE TO SELECT THE VICE CHAIR AND THE RECORDING SECRETARY. 
          PAUL LORE WILL STEP DOWN AS RECORDING SECRETARY. 
          >> I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE ALLEN MILLS. 
          >> BOTH? >> OH, NO. 
          >> VICE CHAIR. >> I'LL TAKE THE VICE CHAIR. 
          NOT THE SECRETARY. >> I THINK AL IS A GREAT CHOICE. 
          SO WE HAVE A NOMINATION. >> I SECOND IT. 
          >> OKAY. ANY DISCUSSION THEN? EVERYONE PLEASED WITH ALLEN, DO YOU THINK? ANYONE ELSE VYING FOR THAT POSITION? OKAY. VERY GOOD. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? SO ALLEN TAKES POSITION AS VICE CHAIR. COME ON. 
          STEP UP. YOU'RE COMFORTABLE OVER THERE. 
          >> I LIKE PAUL OVER THERE. >> MOVING ON UP. 
          MOVING ON UP. >> SO, RECORDING SECRETARY. 
          [Item 5.2]
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY -- THAT ONE IS ALMOST GONNA HAVE TO BE A 
          VOLUNTEER POSITION, I GUESS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK PAUL IF HE WOULD THINK ABOUT IT. I LIKE PAUL'S THINKING AND ORGANIZATION. THAT'S PART OF DOING THIS KIND OF JOB, TOO. I NOMINATE PAUL. 
          >> I'LL SECOND THAT. >> OKAY. 
          ANY DISCUSSION? LET'S SEE. 
          JOE? >> JOE WAS THE SECOND. 
          >> I GOT A QUESTION. LIKE, WHEN I CAME TO THE PARKS, COUPLE OTHER MEETING ADVISORY BOARDS. 
          THEY HAVE -- THE CITY HAS A SECRETARY TAKING THE NOTES. 
          >> OKAY. ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU IS WHEN THEY SET THIS COMMITTEE UP, THE OFFICERS AT THIS PARTICULAR GROUP WAS A CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR, RECORDING SECRETARY. 
          >> THEY STILL WERE DOING THEIR RULES AND THEIR STUFF AS WELL. 
          >> I MEAN, YEARS AGO WHEN WE HAD THE OTHER MARINA COMMITTEE, IT WAS STAFF TAKING NOTES. WHAT THE CITY CLERK MENTIONED, SHE WANTS TO DO BASIC NOTES. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS IN DEPTH NOTE TAKING AS YOU NOTICE FROM MINE. 
          ALSO, AS A SIDE NOTE, I HAVE BEEN TOLD I CAN'T TALK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON WHAT I DID. 
          >> YOU CAN OR CANNOT? >> I CAN. 
          MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY FELT FINE. I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT TAKING ON THE ROLE AND BEING A REALLY IN DEPTH NOTE TAKER. 
          THAT'S NOT MY FORTE. JUST BASIC RECORDING OF STUFF IS FINE. I THINK THAT'S WHY THEY WERE 
          [00:10:01]
          OKAY WITH US DOING NOTES. >> I'M FINE WITH IT. 
          >> THE ONLY THING I ASK IS TONIGHT I HAVE TO LEAVE AT 6:35. 
          NEXT MONTH I WILL BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR THE WHOLE MONTH. 
          I WILL NOT BE HERE. >> WE DO HAVE A STAFF BACKUP. 
          HE'S HELPED ME IN THAT REGARD. >> OKAY. 
          JOE'S ACTUALLY SECRETARY TONIGHT. 
          >> I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD COME UP WITH ONE, SO I WAS PREPARED. 
          >> GREAT. THANKS, ALLEN. 
          THANKS, PAUL. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          >> ALL IN FAVOR? GREAT. THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. >> SORRY, I GOT AHEAD OF MYSELF. 
          [Item 5.3]
ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM THE 5.3, IS THE CHANNEL UPDATE FOR THE REALIGNMENT OF THE CHANNEL. 
          MR. COLEMAN LANGSHAW DID ATTEND THE MEETING THIS MORNING. 
          AND MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE US A LITTLE UPDATE. 
          I MIGHT ASK BOTH COMMISSIONER, TWO OF THE COMMISSIONERS WHO ARE HERE TONIGHT, COULD MAYBE GIVE US THEIR VIEW ON HOW THE MEETING 
          WENT. >> YEAH. 
          IT REALLY ENDED UP, IT WAS NOT A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CHANNEL AT ALL. IT WAS ABOUT THE CITY AND THE PORT AUTHORITY AND TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO FIGURE OUT THEIR PROBLEMS AND ENDED UP DECIDING TO GO TO MEDIATION. 
          IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PILOT IN LIEU OF ANY TAXES. 
          I GOT UP AS A CITIZEN NOT AS A MEMBER OF THE ADVISORY BOARD. 
          I DID THANK BOTH BOARDS FOR WORKING ON THE CHANNEL REALIGNMENT ISSUE, WHICH WAS GOOD THAT I ALL MENTIONED I HOPE THEY CAN FIND A WAY TO WORK TOGETHER SINCE WE EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN. AND SO, I THINK THE COMMISSIONERS MAY WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. 
          THEY KIND OF BASICALLY BOILED IT DOWN TO THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO MEDIATION ON THIS TOPIC. IT'S NOT A HUGE SUM, BUT EVIDENTLY THE PORT AUTHORITY DOESN'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL MEANS TO MEET THE COMMITMENT OF THE AGREEMENT THE CITY HAD WITH THEM FOR YEARS TO GO. I PROBABLY SHOULD GO INTO MUCH MORE GREATER DETAIL. I'M NOT AN AUTHORITY ON THIS. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF EITHER COMMISSIONERS WANT TO ADD, IF I'M MISSING SOMETHING, OR YOU JUST WANT -- 
          >> WAS THERE ANY MENTION OF THEIR PAY RAISES? 
          >> YES, THERE WAS. THERE WAS A CERTAIN CITY COMMISSIONER WHO MIGHT BE RAISING HIS HAND WALKING TO THE 
          PODIUM RIGHT NOW. >> I FIGURED. 
          >> BECAUSE THE MATH DID WORK OUT IF THEY TURNED THAT BACK -- AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COST OF MEDIATION WILL BE, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE MORE THAN 50,000. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. 
          >> CHIP ROSS. NUMBER ONE, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CHANNEL FIRST. THE CHANNEL IS  GOING TO BE -- RESPOND TO OUR PROPOSAL. THE PORT AUTHORITY ATTORNEY WAS SUPPOSED TO TWEAK THAT AND MEET WITH STURGESS, WHO IS ONE OF THE COMMISSIONER. SO FAR THERE'S BEEN A WALL OF SILENCE WITH HOW THAT WENT. WE'RE STILL WAITING. 
          IT'S IN THEIR BALL COURT. IT'S BEEN IN THEIR BALL COURT FOR YEAR. THE CITY'S BEEN ACCOMMODATING AND THEY ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING ELSE. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. 
          AS FAR AS THE $50,000, WITH PAYMENT IN LIEU, WHAT WAS BROUGHT UP THIS MORNING IS THAT IF THOSE FACILITIES WERE BEING USED BY A NONGOVERNMENT CORPORATE -- NONGOVERNMENT ENTITY, THEY WOULD BE PAYING $183,000 A YEAR IN TAXES, JUST TO US, AND PROBABLY THE SAME AMOUNT TO THE COUNTY. 
          OKAY? WHAT WE HAVE HAD FOR YEARS AND WHAT THEY AGREED TO TO GET THE PORT THERE. 
          THE PORT, WHEN IT WAS FIRST TO COME THERE WAS A VERY CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE. COLEMAN LANGSHAW CAN TALK TO THAT. LOT OF PEOPLE DID NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. THERE'S WHOLE BUNCH OF BOXES AND STUFF THAT IF YOU GO THROUGH ALL THAT HISTORY, THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE OPPOSED TO IT. SO TO GET THEM TO DO IT, THEY MADE AGREEMENT TO A LOT OF THINGS. 
          ONE OF THEM, AT LEAST $50,000 A YEAR IN PERPITUITY. 
          [00:15:07]
THE OCEAN HIGHWAY PORT AUTHORITY HAS MADE A BAD DEAL -- WELL, THEY MADE A DEAL WITH THEIR CURRENT PORT OPERATOR. 
          THEY DON'T GET ANY MONEY FOR YEARS. 
          AT LEAST FOUR MORE YEARS. AND THEY GET VERY LIMITED FUNDS. 
          AND THEY, QUOTE, DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY. 
          WELL, WHAT THEY DO HAVE, THEY INCREASED THEIR SALARY FROM $1,000 A MONTH TO $2,000 A MONTH. 
          IF THEY HADN'T HAVE DONE THAT, YOU CAN DO THE MATH. 
          THAT'S $60,000 A YEAR THAT WOULD EASILY PAY THE $50,000 A YEAR. 
          SO THEY CLEARLY DO HAVE THE MONEY. 
          THEY GO TO ONE MEETING A MONTH, MORE OR LESS. 
          YOU CAN DO THE MATH FOR THAT, TOO. 
          BASICALLY, THE CITY'S POSITION IS THAT YOU ARE HERE. 
          WE PROVIDE SERVICES TO YOU. AND WE THINK YOU SHOULD CONTRIBUTE. AND YOU, AS ALL TAXPAYERS, ARE SUBSIDIZING THE PORT. GOOD THING OR BAD THING, I'M NOT GONNA ARGUE, BUT YOU'RE DOING THAT. 
          THEY ARE NOT GOOD NEIGHBORS. THEY WANT OUR SERVICES. 
          I WAS UP THERE TODAY. THEY HAVE A GRAIN SHIP THAT'S COME IN. THAT GRAIN IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. 
          ALL OVER THE PORT. THAT GRAIN WILL GO INTO THE AMELIA RIVER. IT IS A POLLUTANT. 
          THEY HAVE RAT TRAPS OUT THERE, RODENT TRAPS. 
          THEN ALL THIS GRAIN OUT THERE. GOT GRAIN ON THE ROAD FOR A RODENT TRAP, YOU CAN FIGURE THAT ONE OUT, TOO. 
          SO I DON'T THINK THEY'VE BEEN GOOD NEIGHBORS. 
          I HAVE SAID THAT MANY TIMES. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. 
          SO WHERE WE'RE GOING TO IS ARBITRATION. 
          I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA WORK OUT TOO WELL. 
          I THINK WE'RE GONNA END UP IN CIRCUIT COURT. 
          >> QUESTION, THEY JUST RECEIVED SOME MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL 
          GOVERNMENT. >> PORT AUTHORITY DID NOT RECEIVE A NICKEL. THAT WENT TO REGUCCHI, THE WORLD WIDE TERMINAL, TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT. 
          >> DOES THAT REQUIRE THE CITY'S APPROVAL? 
          >> NO. >> JUST STRAIGHT TO THE -- 
          >> YEP. >> OKAY. 
          >> SO WITH MOVING THE CHANNEL, WHICH I KNOW YOU'RE ALL VERY INTERESTED IN, THAT'S SORT OF IN LIMBO. 
          WHAT I DID DO, I DID A SURVEY OF ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE OWNED BY THE CITY BECAUSE TURNS OUT THE CITY DOESN'T KNOW ALL THE PROPERTY THEY OWN. TURNS OUT THAT THE TAXES THAT SAY WE OWN THE 400 ACRES OF WATERFRONT IN FRONT OF THE PORT. 
          I THINK THE TAX ASSESSOR IS WRONG, BUT I'M WAITING TO HEAR FROM THAT. I THINK IT'S THE STATE OF FLORIDA. IF WE DO OWN THAT, WE HAVE A GOOD ARGUMENT TO SAY WE SHOULD BE THE OWNERS OF THE CHANNEL, NOT THE PORT AUTHORITY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? 
          >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. 
          NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 5.4, THE WATERFRONT PARK UPDATE. 
          [Item 5.4]
AND I THINK WE'RE AB ONE DAY PREMATURE TO ACTUALLY GET THAT. 
          I'LL JUST MAKE A COMMENT THAT TOMORROW MORNING THE WORKSHOP FOR THE CITY COMMISSIONERS AT THE GOLF COURSE BEGINS AT 8:00 
          A.M., I BELIEVE. >> THE PART THAT YOU WOULD BE 
          INTERESTED IN IS 9:00 A.M. >> THE THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. 
          THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION OF THE WATERFRONT PLAN WILL BE AVAILABLE AT 9:00 A.M. SO FROM 9:00 A.M. UNTIL NOON TOMORROW MORNING AT THE FERNANDINA GOLF CLUB. 
          IF ANYONE IS PLANNING TO BE THERE. 
          >> I'LL BE THERE. >> I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. KIND OF AFFECTS US BIG-TIME. 
          SO PERHAPS WE'LL JUST -- UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANY DISCUSSION THIS EVENING? DO YOU WANT TO HOLD COMMENTS ON THAT UNTIL WE SEE THE PLAN? WE CAN PROBABLY MOVE THAT TO NEXT MEETING. THAT WILL BE OLD BUSINESS. 
          >> I WAS ASKED TO KEEP THAT ON THERE EVERY MEETING. 
          >> I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. >> ALSO THE MEMBERS FOR THE TALL 
          [Item 5.5]
          SHIP. >> NEXT ITEM IS 5.5. 
          THIS IS ONE THAT WE NEED SOME DISCUSSION TONIGHT ON, I THINK. 
          IT'S SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE COLEMAN BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST 
          [00:20:01]
MEETING. TRANSFERRING OR FINDING OUT WHO'S ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RAMP, WHETHER IT IS MARINA PROPERTY OR PARKS AND REC. AND COLEMAN BROUGHT THIS UP AT THE LAST MEETING. PERHAPS HIS -- 
          >> IF I MAY? THE REASON I BROUGHT THIS UP, FIRST OF ALL, THE BOAT RAMP IS NOT REALLY A MARINA ASSET AS FAR AS BUSINESS. THERE'S SOME LIABILITY AND EXPENSE. BUT IT'S A PUBLIC FACILITY, LIKE THE OTHER PARKS AND SO FORTH, KAYAK LAUNCH AREA AND SO FORTH. 
          MY THINKING WAS REALLY IT'S KIND OF IN THAT QUASI UPLAND MARINA GEOGRAPHY BUT FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, IT'S A RECREATIONAL FACILITY. IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER RAMP. 
          I DON'T THINK IT FITS WITH THE MARINA'S ENTERPRISE FUNDS BUDGET. IT'S GREAT THAT THERE ARE BOATS COMING AND GOING. BUT JUST FROM THE BUDGET STANDPOINT, I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE A GENERAL FUND. 
          THAT'S MY THING. CERTAINLY, THE COMMISSION WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION. IF IT'S A QUESTION OF WHO WOULD WATCH OVER IT, MAYBE THE MARINA DEPARTMENT COULD BE WORKING JOINTLY WITH THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT, MAKING SURE THAT THE RAMP IS NOT BEING ABUSED AND THAT THERE'S SOME DAILY OPERATIONAL THINGS THAT MAYBE STAFF IS MORE EXPERIENCED IN DEALING WITH THE MARINA. SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THAT RAMP AND THERE'S WHATEVER, WE CAN'T PAY SOMEBODY TO MONITOR THAT OUT OF THE MARINA BUDGET. WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY REVENUE FROM THAT. I JUST WANT TO SEE US TRY TO PUSH THOSE KINDS OF THINGS FROM THE MARINA BUDGET OVER TO THE 
          GENERAL FUND. >> I DISAGREE WITH COLEMAN. 
          I THINK THE RAMP SHOULD BE PART OF THE MARINA BECAUSE WE ALSO -- IT DOES GENERATE REVENUE, IN THE SENSE THAT WE ARE CHARGING CHARTER CAPTAINS $1500 A YEAR TO USE IT AND STAGE THERE. 
          WE ALSO LAUNCH BOATS THERE THAT TIE UP TO THE DAY DOCK AND STUFF. SO IT IS A REVENUE GENERATOR. 
          MAYBE NOT MUCH, BUT IT CAN BE. AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE PART, OVERSEEN BY THE MARINA STAFF. IT'S GONNA GET TO BE AN ISSUE HOW LONG PEOPLE HANG AT THE FLOATING DOCK. 
          ALSO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE FLOATING DOCK, WHICH NEEDS RUB RAILS AROUND IT NOW AND OTHER THINGS. 
          AND I THINK THAT THE MARINA SHOULD FUND IT. 
          >> MYSELF, I'M TOTALLY AGAINST TAKING PUBLIC ACCESS AWAY FROM THE MARINA. I THINK IT'S A PIECE OF THE WATERFRONT. IT'S A PIECE OF THE PUBLIC ACCESS. I THINK TO TAKE AWAY SOMETHING FOR THE FUNDING INSTEAD OF MAYBE FIGURING OUT HOW THAT COULD BE FUNDED SEPARATELY, I'M NOT FOR IT. 
          >> I'M NOT SAYING TAKE AWAY THE ACCESS. 
          >> I KNOW. I'M JUST SAYING TO ME, IN MY OPINION, THE ACCESS PIECE, THE WORKING WATERFRONT PIECE, THE RECREATIONAL PIECE I GET. YOU CAN EVEN USE THAT WORD AND SAY PARKS AND REC OR THE RECREATIONAL PIECE. 
          JUST LIKE SCOTT'S SAYING, THERE IS -- IT'S A PRETTY HOT ITEM OUT THERE FOR CHARTER BOAT CAPTAINING TO USE IT. 
          IF THEY ARE USING IT, THAT'S PART OF THE WHOLE WATERFRONT PIECE. IT'S A FACIAL PIECE OF THE ARENA. I'M TOTALLY AGAINST IT AND GIVING IT TO PARKS AND RECREATIONAL. 
          >> THOSE PEOPLE BUY FUEL, BUY ICE, SHIP STORE. 
          THERE'S A STORE DOWN THERE. SO IT IS A REVENUE PRODUCER OF 
          SOME SORT. >> BUT IF THAT RAMP COLLAPSES AND IT'S GONNA COME OUT OF THE COFFERS OF THE MARINA FUND. 
          THE PUBLIC ACCESS WOULD REMAIN EXACTLY THE SAME. 
          IT IS, JUST LIKE I SAY, THE KAYAK LAUNCH THERE. 
          WE SHOULD CHECK WITH THE COUNTY. THE COUNTY DOESN'T HAVE AN ENTERPRISE FUND RUNNING THE BOAT RAMP. 
          THAT'S A PUBLIC ACCESS GENERATED BY THE PUBLIC FUND. 
          I WAS CURIOUS, JOE, IF YOU HAD ANY THOUGHT. 
          THEY TALK AB REVENUE BUT I DON'T SEE THAT AS A REVENUE STREAM DIRECTLY FROM THE BOAT RAMP. MAYBE I'M MISSING SOMETHING THAT INDIRECTLY THERE MAY BE SOME REVENUES BUT I DON'T SEE THE RAMP ITSELF BEING A REVENUE STREAM. 
          AM I MISTAKEN? >> I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU 100%. 
          AS SCOTT BROUGHT OUT, THERE IS A CHOICE FOR THE FOLKS WHO DON'T HAVE THAT, BUT THEY CAN PICK UP PASSENGERS. 
          NOWHERE IN THAT ARGUMENT DOES IT SAY THAT WE PROVIDE THEM WITH A BOAT RAMP. OUR CHARLOTTERS ARE GETTING TK 1500 IS THEIR ABILITY TO COME ON THE PROPERTY AFTER BEING PROPERLY SCRUTINIZED WITH THE RIGHT INSURANCE AND RIGHT 
          [00:25:02]
REGISTRATION AND PICK UP AND DROP OFF PASSENGERS AND TO WAIT FOR THEIR PASSENGERS OR TO MOVE THEM OUT OF THE AREA AROUND THE RAMP. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AS FAR AS, DOES IT GENERATE INCOME? OTHER THAN THOSE FOLKS WHO PAY THE MARINA FOR THAT FEE, WHETHER IT'S ON A DAILY BASIS OR ANNUAL BASIS, WE RECEIVE NO INCOME FROM THEM. 
          WHAT I HAVE FOUND IN TEN YEARS BEING HERE IS THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO THE BOAT RAMP, CAME THERE PULLING A TRAILER WITH A BOAT IN IT AND THEY STOPPED A LONG WAYS AWAY FROM US TO FILL UP THEIR FUEL TANK. THEY STOPPED A LONG WAY TO PICK UP THEIR SANDWICHES AND ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO DO. 
          THEY PROBABLY STOPPED SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PICK UP THEIR ADULT BEVERAGES OR THEIR TEA OR WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING. 
          VERY RARE DID WE SEE JOHN Q PUBLIC, NOT THE COMMERCIAL GUYS, JOHN Q PUBLIC PUT THEIR BOAT IN AND THEN COME OVER AND PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THE MARINA. MAYBE CHARTER DOES. 
          I DON'T SEE IT. I NEVER SAW IT. 
          >> ONE WAY I LOOK AT IT, YOU HAVE A BOAT RAMP, IT'S STATIC. 
          IT STAYS THERE. NOW WE'RE ASKING THE MOBILITY TO MAKE ANOTHER DIVISION OF THE CITY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE AND PAYMENT AND CARE OF IT INSTEAD OF WHY NOT JUST RESTRUCTURE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE AND CARE FOR THAT WITHIN THE RAMP I JUST DON'T GET WHAT WOULD BE 
          THE DIFFERENCE? >> WE'VE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THAT, RIGHT? ONCE THIS MARINA GETS UP AND GOING, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO BE OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OVERALL STRATEGY KEEPING THE MARINA MAINTENANCE, RIGHT? IT'S GOING TO HAVE WEAR AND TEAR. THE BOAT RAMP WILL HAVE WEAR AND TEAR. WHY NOT JUST BUILD A VERY LOGICAL SCHEDULE IN FOR MAINTENANCE? 
          >> IF I COULD MAYBE DO ONE MORE SPIN ON THAT, MAYBE ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS. I JUST THINK FROM A PURELY BUDGETARY STANDPOINT WITHIN THE CITY'S BUDGET, IF THAT WAS UNDER THE GENERAL FUND, BUT ADMINISTERED EVEN BY THE MARINA DEPARTMENT, IF THAT'S ALLOWABLE. TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, TAX GENERAL FUND REVENUES. I'M NOT CHANGING ABOUT -- BASICALLY, YOU WOULD NOT SEE HOW IT LOOKS OR HOW ANYONE WOULD USE IT. THAT WOULD BE THE SAME. 
          THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WOULD BE THAT WHEN THERE ARE THOSE RUB RAILS NEEDED AND SO FORTH, THAT IT COMES OUT OF A LINE ITEM UNDER PARKS AND REC THAT PERHAPS THE MARINA DEPARTMENT IS AUTHORIZED TO BE OVERSEEING. I KNOW THAT'S MAKING THINGS COMPLEX. I'M SURE THE COMPTROLLER MAY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT. I'M JUST SAYING TAKE THE MONEY IN THE BUDGET AND LET IT BE ALLOCATED. 
          EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT WOULD BE THE SAME. 
          EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO EVER WENT THERE AND LOOKED AT IT AND USED IT WOULD NEVER SEE ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL. 
          THIS IS REALLY A BEHIND THE SCENES BUDGETARY THING. 
          I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THAT. IF THERE'S SOME WAY TO MAKE THIS THING WORK OUT, THE MARINA DEPARTMENT COULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE IT'S BEING USED PROPERLY, THAT PEOPLE AREN'T -- THERE'S SOME CHARTER BOATS THAT MIGHT BE COMING AND GOING, NEVER PAYING A FEE. MARINA MIGHT WANT TO BE IN ON THAT AND SAYING, HEY NOW, WE HAVE A FEE FOR USING THE MARINA. 
          BUT FOR THEM TO STAGE A STAFF PERSON OVER THERE AND NOT HAVE ANY REVENUE FROM THE GENERAL USE OF THAT, IT'S A BURDEN ON THE BUDGET, THAT'S ALL. I'M NOT SAYING IT WOULD BE CHANGED ANY OTHER WAY. GUARANTEE YOU WOULD LOOK AT IT AND IT WOULD LOOK, TASTE, ACT EXACTLY THE SAME. 
          I AGREE WITH YOU, WE WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT PUBLIC ACCESS. 
          NEVER JEOPARDIZE THAT. BY PUTTING IT IN THE GENERAL FUND, MAKES IT MORE ASSURED THAN WHEN YOU PUT IT IN THE ENTERPRISE FUND. THE MARINA MIGHT SAY, IF WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BOAT RAMP, WE MIGHT START CHARGING. 
          BUT IF THE RECREATIONAL DEPARTMENT IS OVER IT, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CHARGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN ADEQUATE TAX BASE TO SUPPORT IT. I THINK IT GOES STRONGER TO YOUR ARGUMENT PUBLIC ACCESS BY LETTING THE GENERAL FUND 
          SUBSIDIZE IT. >> ALLEN? 
          >> I DISAGREE. I THINK THAT BOAT RAMP SHOULD BE PART -- IT'S ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THAT MARINA AND IT SHOULD STAY PART OF THAT MARINA. AT ONE TIME THE MARINA WAS FUNDED THROUGH THE PARK AND RECREATIONAL BEFORE THEY TOOK IT OUT TO WHEREVER MR. -- GOT A BRAIN CRAMP. 
          WHENEVER THEY LEASED IT OUT BEFOREHAND. 
          IT WAS PARK AND RECREATIONAL DID IT. 
          THEY WOULD GET PARK AND RECREATIONAL TO TAKE CARE OR KICK IN FOR THE BOAT RAMP PART ITSELF. 
          BUT THAT BOAT RAMP KEEPS THAT WATER FLOWING HERE IN THE WINTERTIME. THAT BOAT RAMP IS A GREAT PUBLIC ACCESS. IT'S THE ONLY BOAT RAMP IN THE CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ALSO, IS ANYTHING WEST OF BULK HEAD IS THE MARINA, ANYTHING EAST IS 
          [00:30:04]
PARK AND REC. IT MAY BE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PUBLIC USING IT AS A PUBLIC ACCESS, MAYBE PARKS AND REC WOULD KICK IN FOR YOUR RUB RAILS. 
          I THINK WE ADDRESSED THE WEIGH PROBLEM. 
          ONLY TWO AXLES. THAT TOOK CARE OF A LOT OF BURDEN ON THAT DOCK ITSELF, ON THE CONCRETE STRUCTURE. 
          DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU NEVER KNOW. 
          EVERYTHING'S GONNA BREAK SOONER OR LATER. 
          >> I AGREE WITH YOU. I AGREE WITH COLEMAN THAT MAYBE PARKS AND RECREATIONAL SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THE BOAT RAMP. 
          I GUESS ALLEN DOESN'T AGREE WITH THAT, BUT COLEMAN DOES. 
          WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE, WE TALKED ABOUT ATLANTA BAIT AND SEAFOOD BEING UPLIFTED. MOVE ATLANTA BAIT AND SEAFOOD SOUTH AND BUILD A BETTER BOAT RAMP. 
          YOU KNOW? THAT BOAT RAMP, LIKE PAUL WAS SAYING, IS THE HEART OF FERNANDINA BEACH. 
          WHETHER THEY SPEND THE MONEY ON ATLANTA BAIT AND SEAFOOD, THEY'RE GONNA SPEND IT SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW ON AMELIA ISLAND. IF YOU ASK 50% OF THE PEOPLE SAY THEY COME TO AMELIA ISLAND TO GO FISH. 
          WHETHER WE CHARGE THEM A FEE TO USE THE BOAT RAMP OR IT GOES TO PARKS AND RECREATIONAL OR GOES THROUGH THE MARINA, THAT BOAT RAMP IS A SORE SIGHT RIGHT NOW. EVEN IF YOU BRING THE BOAT UP THE RAMP, IT'S DRAGGING ON THE TRAIL. 
          THE PEAK OF THE RAMP IS TOO HIGH. 
          IT'S NOT ROUNDED. IT'S DRAGGING. 
          THE WHOLE BOAT RAMP NEEDS TO BE DONE. 
          ATLANTA BAIT AND SEAFOOD NEED TO BE MOVED. 
          >> IF YOU GET A DIFFERENT TRAILER HITCH, IT WON'T DRAG. 
          THAT RAMP HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT A HIGHER ANGLE THAN ANY OTHER RAMP THERE IS. THAT'S JUST PROPER LOCATION OF 
          PEOPLE'S -- HOW YOUR HITCH IS. >> IT IS HIGH. 
          I GOT A 2500 CHEVROLET AND IT'S HIGH. 
          THAT'S MY OPINION, YOU KNOW. IF I OWNED THAT MARINA, THAT BOAT RAMP WOULD BE THE HEART OF THE WHOLE MARINA. 
          >> LET ME MAKE AN OBSERVATION. >> I'D LIKE TO GET INFORMATION AND DATA BEFORE I MAKE A STATEMENT. 
          FIRST THING I WOULD SUGGEST, IF THE MARINA ASKS FOR IT, I'M SURE THE CITY WOULD PROVIDE IT, IS THE FUNDING THAT PUT THAT BOAT RAMP IN. I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT. 
          I PROBABLY LOOKED AT IT AT SOME POINT, BUT I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION. I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THERE'S SOME RESTRICTIONS ON THAT. 
          BECAUSE IT'S A PUBLICLY FUNDED BOAT RAMP. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESTRICTIONS ARE, BUT WE TOOK PUBLIC FUNDS TO DO IT. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THOSE RESTRICTIONS. MY SECOND COMMENT IS THAT ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES WITH THE CITY IS WE ARE ON A BARRIER ISLAND. 
          IT'S NOT IF IT'S GONNA FLOOD. IT'S WHEN IT'S GONNA FLOOD. 
          HOW MUCH IT'S GONNA FLOOD AND HOW OFTEN IT'S GONNA FLOOD. 
          ONE OF THE TOPICS TOMORROW IS THE SHORE LINE PROTECTION. 
          AND SO I THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED THAT THE BOAT RAMP IS A PLACE WHERE WATER IS GONNA COME IN TO THE DOWNTOWN AT THE CURRENT HEIGHT. 
          SO I THINK THAT IT WILL BE ADDRESSED TOMORROW. 
          SO BEFORE I THINK YOU SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME ARGUING ABOUT YOUR PHILOSOPHIES, WHICH IS WHAT I SORT OF HEAR HERE, I WOULD LISTEN TO WHAT THE ENGINEERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO WITH THE SHORE LINE PROTECTION. 
          BECAUSE I THINK THE BOAT RAMP MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED NO MATTER WHAT FOR SHORE LINE PROTECTION. 
          I HAVEN'T SEEN THEIR PLAN. I HAVE TALKED TO SOMEONE IN THE PAST. BUT I THINK BEFORE YOU -- YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT THIS OFF AWHILE UNTIL YOU GET MORE INFORMATION. I THINK THE TWO KEY PIECES OF INFORMATION IS WHAT SHORE LINE PROTECTION IS GONNA BE AN WHAT THE GRANT THAT GAVE US THAT CONSTRICTS US TO. 
          >> THE GRANT THAT WE HAD A LONG TIME AGO. 
          >> I DON'T REMEMBER. >> IT'S PUBLIC ACCESS. 
          PUBLIC ACCESS IS GUARANTEED. I BELIEVE IN PUBLIC ACCESS. 
          WHETHER THAT'S TWO BOATS OR THREE BOATS IS ANOTHER STORY. 
          [00:35:04]
BECAUSE FOR A WHOLE BUNCH OF REASONS. 
          WHAT'S ALSO GONNA CONSTRAIN THAT IS ACROSS THE STREET, IT'S A TIGHT SPOT DOWN THERE. FDOT IS GONNA REQUIRE GATES. 
          SOME OF THOSE GATES ARE GOING TO BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ASH STREET, WHERE IT IS. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME FINAGLING OF THE ROAD AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK. 
          IT'S NOT A SIMPLE, WE WANT A BOAT RAMP. 
          IT'S HOW THAT CAN BE WORKED IN WITH THE CROSSING AT ASHE STREET THERE. I THINK WE'VE HIRED AN ENGINEER TO DO THE STORM WALL. WE HIRED AN ENGINEER TO DO WHAT I CALL THE MIDDLE OF THE SANDWICH, PARK, AND ONE TO DO THE ROAD. ALL OF THEM TOMORROW MORNING ARE GOING TO BE PRESENTING. YOU KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT IT AS I DO BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THEIR PLAN. 
          I SAW A VAGUE DRAWING. WE'LL SEE. 
          MR. MCCARTHY PROBABLY KNOWS MORE THAN I DO BECAUSE HE'S ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE. BUT I THINK BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHO'S GOING TO OWN IT, LET'S FIND OUT WHAT THE RESTRICTIONS 
          ARE. >> WHILE YOU'RE UP, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO GENERATE FUNDS USING THE WEBSITE FOR THE MARINA BY SELLING ADVERTISING AT THE RESTAURANT. 
          IN OTHER WORDS -- >> I HAVE NO IDEA. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S LEGAL OR NOT. 
          >> I DON'T KNOW. >> ANOTHER IDEA THAT'S BEING FLOATED, AND I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS FLOATING IT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A GOOD IDEA OR A BAD IDEA. 
          BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THE MARINA'S GOING TO GET DEVELOPED AND THE CITY'S GONNA SELL IT OFF, SO ON, SO FORTH. 
          ONE OF THE IDEAS IS TO TURN THE WHOLE -- MARINA TURNS OUT IS ABOUT 23 ACRES. UPPER LAND, THE PARKING LOT AND EVERYTHING. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PARCEL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO OBTAIN. THAT WOULD MAKE IT ABOUT 21 ACRES. TO TURN IT INTO RECREATION FUTURE LAND USE AND RECREATIONAL. 
          SO THAT WOULD -- BECAUSE IT'S ZONED HAS A FUTURE LAND USE MAP, IF IT'S DEEMED FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECREATIONAL, THEN IT HAS TO GO TO VOTER REFERENDUM FOR IT TO BE SOLD OFF. 
          THAT WOULD PROTECT THE MARINA. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY COMING UP SAYING WE OUGHT TO SELL THE MARINA. 
          WE OUGHT TO SELL THIS, SELL THAT. 
          I'M NOT SAYING IT'S A GOOD IDEA OR BAD IDEA. 
          BUT THAT IS AN IDEA THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING TALKED ABOUT. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> WOULD THE MARINA FUND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BOAT RAMP IN A NEW CONFIGURATION? WOULD THAT ENTERPRISE FUND MONEY BE PART OF THAT, DO YOU THINK? OR WOULD THE MARINA ENTERPRISE FUND BE OUTSIDE OF ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT? I KNOW IT'S OUT THERE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHETHER OR 
          NOT THE ENTERPRISE FUND -- >> WHO'S PAYING -- I THINK WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ME IS WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR THAT? AND I THINK THAT IS TO BE DECIDED. 
          >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. 
          >> I'LL BE SPECULATING. AND WHAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR IS HOW WE CAN FIND MONEY TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS. 
          THIS STUFF ISN'T CHEAP. I WOULD THINK, JUST TALKING, THAT IF YOU CAN FIND GRANT AND FUNDING THAT WORK WITH MARINAS TO MAKE RESILIENCY, YOU PUT IT ONE WAY. 
          IF YOU CAN FIND GRANTS THAT WORK WITH HAVING UPLANDS AND PROTECTING THE CITY, YOU MIGHT GO A DIFFERENT WAY. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S STILL TO BE DETERMINED. 
          >> OKAY. >> IT'S GUIDED A LOT BY WHERE WE 
          CAN FIND FUNDING. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> ANY OTHER COMMENT ON THAT? >> FOR TEN YEARS WE'VE BEEN UNDER THE BELIEF THAT SEPARATION LINE WAS THE SEA WALL. 
          WHAT'S ON THE LAND SIDE WAS PARKS, WHAT WAS ON THE WATER SIDE WAS MARINA. HAD A MEETING WITH COMMISSIONER ROSS AND WITH THE PARK'S DIRECTOR AND IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT EVERYTHING THAT RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH. 
          SO THAT WALKWAY BETWEEN THE BOAT RAMP, WALKWAYS DOWN ON THE C AND D, ALL OF THAT IS PARKS AND REC. I HAVE GOT THE EAST AND WEST. 
          SO I GO AROUND. I GO DOWN THE RAMP TO GET TO THE OTHER DOCK. BUT ALL THE OTHER IS PARKS AND REC. SO THE SEA WALL IDEA IS NOT 
          ACCURATE. >> THAT WOULD BE PARKS AND REC. 
          [00:40:01]
          >> THAT WOULD BE PARKS AND REC. MY THOUGHT WOULD BE THEN THE SEA 
          WALL RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH. >> MY BIG CONCERN WITH A RAMP IS, MUCH OF IT'S UNDER WATER. SO WHERE DO WE DECIDE THE RAMP IS PARKS AND REC AND WHERE DO WE DECIDE WHICH PARTS OF THE RAMP ARE MARINA? KIND OF ONE OF THESE GRAY AREAS. 
          >> IT RUNS EAST AND WEST ACCORDING TO JOE'S DEFINITION. 
          >> IF WE DECIDE THAT SOME OF IT BELONGS TO PARKS AND REC, DOES THAT EVERYTHING ABOVE IT MEAN HIGH WATER MARK OR THE WHOLE 
          RAMP AS IT GOES INTO THE RIVER? >> NOW THAT WE'VE WORKED OUT THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, THE RAMP DOES RUN EAST AND WEST. 
          AS FAR AS WHERE THE BOATS AND TRAILERS PARK, THAT'S NORTH AND SOUTH IN THE PARKING LOT. I THINK WHAT COLEMAN WAS PUSHING THROUGH THIS ONE IS IF THE MARINA CONTINUED TO MANAGE AND OPERATE, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, IT'S JUST THE FUNDING. 
          >> MY LAST PIECE ON THAT, NOT TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE, BUT JUST COMES TO WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE WITH THE PORT, A GOOD NEIGHBOR. I DON'T KNOW ALL THE INS AND OUTS OF THE BUDGET AND WHAT'S LEGAL AND WHAT'S NOT. 
          BUT WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT WHERE'S THAT DIVIDING LINE? THIS SHOULD JUST BE A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN REC AND THE MARINA. SOMETIMES THAT'S JUST SIMPLE, TOO, AND FIGURE THAT OUT. BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE WISE, JUST LIKE COMMISSIONER ROSS SAID, WAIT AND SEE. 
          >> WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING CLEAR TONIGHT TO VOTE ON OR DISCUSS MUCH FURTHER THAN THE FUTURE OF THE BOAT RAMP, SO MAYBE WE'LL JUST KEEP THIS AS IT IS, UNLESS SOMEONE HAS A MOTION TO MAKE? 
          OKAY. >> I DON'T. 
          >> ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THE BOAT RAMP? 
          >> MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN, BECAUSE I HAVE TO EXCUSE MYSELF. 
          IF I CAN JUST HAVE ONE REQUEST, IF I CAN. 
          CAN WE PLEASE PUT THE MOORING FUEL, FUEL DOCK ALSO AS A MONTHLY UPDATE? AS ALL BUSINESS. 
          >> YEAH. >> DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A NOTE 
          FOR THAT? >> IT WILL BE GOING FOR QUITE A 
          WHILE. >> IT WOULD BE JUST NICE TO KEEP THAT -- THE MOORING FIELD AND FUEL DOCK. 
          >> ALONG WITH THE -- >> HERE'S MY LAST ONE. 
          IF WE WOULD, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MONTHLY. 
          YOU CAN DISCUSS IT AFTER I LEAVE, BUT I REALLY WISH EVERY COUPLE MONTHS OR EVERY QUARTER, OR WHATEVER WE THINK IS REASONABLE FOR GRANTS. WE'VE BEEN HERE A YEAR AND WE HAVEN'T REALLY HEARD WHAT OUR STRATEGY OR WHAT OUR PATH IS WITH GRANTS. I WOULD LIKE UPDATES ON THAT. 
          >> FUNDING. FUNDING IDEAS. 
          >> THANKS. THANKS, GUYS. 
          >> YOU'RE EXCUSED. >> THANK YOU. 
          SEE YOU ALL IN MARCH. >> WE'LL SLIDE ANOTHER ITEM IN HERE THAT I BROUGHT UP EARLIER AND WE'LL COMPLETE TALKING ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE IT'S THE ST. MARY'S TALL SHIP ALLIANCE? IS THAT THE CORRECT 
          PRONUNCIATION? >> CORRECT. 
          >> THEY'VE OFFERED TO BRING US DURING SHIP FESTIVAL COUPLE OF THE TALL SHIPS, WHICH WOULD BE THE NINA AND THE PINTA, TWO REPLICAS OF COLUMBUS' SHIPS. THEY WERE HERE MANY YEARS AGO. 
          AND THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO OFFER THEIR VISIT TO US DURING SHIP FESTIVAL. I THINK THE MARINA DIRECTOR WAS KIND ENOUGH TO OFFER THEM A FEW DAYS FREE STAY WHEN THEY VISIT. 
          THEY DID MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO COME FOR MAYBE 10 OR 12 DAYS. I CAN'T REMEMBER. 
          THEY'D LIKE TO STAY MUCH LONGER. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THE CITY IS ALSO HOSTING SOME TRAWLERS THE WEEK BEFORE THE SHIP FESTIVAL. THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT THE MARINA COULD BE FULL OF HIGH PAYING VESSELS DURING THAT WEEK. 
          AND SO I THINK THE SUGGESTION WAS THAT PERHAPS THE TALL SHIPS COULDN'T COME THE WEEK BEFORE, BUT THEY INSIST THEY MUST HAVE A LONGER WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO COME. 
          WHAT THEY DO IS THEY CHARGE A FEE TO WALK AROUND THE SHIP. 
          IT'S A NOT FOR PROFIT. THAT'S HOW THEY RAISE THEIR FUNDS TO OPERATE. I REMEMBER WHEN THEY CAME YEARS AGO, IT WAS VERY POPULAR, VERY POPULAR. 
          BROUGHT LOTS OF PEOPLE TO THE MARINA. 
          BROUGHT LOTS OF PEOPLE TO THE ISLAND. 
          IT DOESN'T STOP IN MANY PLACES IN THE STATE. 
          WHILE IT WAS HERE, IT WAS A BIG DRAW. 
          SO IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE TOWN TO SEE IT FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. SO WE'VE -- COMMISSIONER ROSS AND MYSELF HAVE APPROACHED THE TDC AND MR. LANGLEY EXPRESSED TO 
          [00:45:06]
ME TODAY THAT HE WAS GOING TO HELP FUND THAT AND CONTRIBUTE $3,000 FOR THE LONGER STAY FOR THE VESSELS TO COME. 
          SO IF THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN, I BELIEVE IT WILL, JIM LANGLEY TELLS ME THE TRUTH GENERALLY. YES? IT ISN'T A DONE DEAL, BUT SOUNDS -- IF HE AGREES TO IT. 
          PARDON? >> WE HAVE TWO CITY 
          COMMISSIONERS -- >> THE CITY COMMISSIONERS HAVE 
          TO VOTE. >> THEY'RE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO VOTE FOR THAT. 
          MY ARGUMENT WITH GIL WAS THAT IT COULD PUT HEADS IN BEDS. 
          THAT'S WHAT GIL'S JOB IS, TO FILL THE HOTEL. 
          THAT'S HOW HE EARNS HIS PAY. RIGHT? SO IF THE TALL SHIPS COME, WE HAVE VISITORS TO COME SEE THE TALL SHIPS, IT'S A WIN-WIN. IF THIS ALL HAPPEN, AND I BELIEVE SOME OF THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE HERE. DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US AN UPDATE 
          OF WHAT YOU KNOW? >> YES, PLEASE. 
          >> GREAT, GUYS. THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT. 
          >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. >> I'M CHAIRMAN OF THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL. THIS IS STEVE POWERS. 
          HE MADE THE INITIAL -- THE BOAT PEOPLE MADE INITIAL CONTACT WITH STEVE. HE'S ON THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL COMMITTEE. HE'S IN CHARGE OF THE PIRATES. 
          THE FIRST THING, I GUESS, NEEDS TO BE STRAIGHTENED OUT WHEN WE SAY ST. MARY'S ALLIANCE, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ST. MARY'S. 
          I THINK THAT'S -- >> OKAY. 
          I WAS JUST SAYING THAT'S THE NAME OF IT. 
          >> RIGHT. ACTUALLY, THEY'RE THE MIDDLE 
          PEOPLE. >> ONE OF THEM LIVES IN ST. 
          MARY'S. >> I THINK THE GENTLEMAN WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO LIVES IN CAROLINAS. 
          AND I GUESS ONE OF THE THINGS TO SAY, THE ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER AND WHAT'S ON FACEBOOK, THEY HAD NO PERMISSION FROM THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL TO USE OUR NAME, SAYING THAT -- 
          >> VERY GOOD. THAT'S NICE TO KNOW. 
          >> SAYING WE'RE HAVING THEM TO COME. 
          THAT'S NOT TRUE. WE WORK WITH JOE. 
          LIKE YOU SAY, HE HAS GIVEN US THE THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY AS PART OF THE SHRIMP FEST. 
          WHAT'S THE GENTLEMAN'S NAME? >> JAMES. 
          >> JAMES HAS BEEN SORT OF DEMANDING THEY COME AND IS TRYING TO HOLD US HOSTAGE ON HAVING THEM. 
          THAT IF WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING THEY WANT, THEY'RE NOT COMING. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND WITH THE TRAWLERS AND EVERYTHING. 
          THAT'S GOOD FOR THE CITY. AND THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US. BUT WE, AS A SHRIMP COMMITTEE, WE DON'T WANT THE CITY TO PUT ANY MONEY INTO THEM COMING. 
          YOU DO ENOUGH FOR US, THE CITY DOES, AS FAR AS THE TRASH BILL AND EVERYTHING. WE HAVE A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY. AND WE DON'T WANT THE CITY TO FEEL THAT WE'RE PUSHING THIS ENDEAVOR, PULLING THE CITY TO SAY, HEY, WE WANT THESE GUYS HERE, PAY FOR IT. 
          THAT'S NOT TRUE. IF WE CAN FIND SPONSORS -- FIRST I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE $3,000. STEVE HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR SPONSORS. THE RENT FOR WHAT THEY WANT 
          WOULD BE, WHAT, $5,000? >> DEPENDING ON THE TIME PERIOD. 
          IT'S $500 A DAY FOR THE TWO BOATS. 
          SO $500 A DAY, HOWEVER MANY DAYS THEY WANT TO BE THERE. 
          >> SEVEN DAYS WOULD BE $3500. WE FIGURE ABOUT $5,000 BECAUSE I KNOW MAIN STREET WOULD LIKE THEM TO STAY A LITTLE BY LONGER. 
          >> AFTER THE FESTIVAL? >> YEAH. 
          >> I HAVE A QUESTIO. >> YES, SIR. 
          >> IS THAT THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN COME? WE ALREADY HAVE OVER 200,000 COMING TO THIS ISLAND, PROBABLY ALL OF THE HOTELS ARE BOOKED. IS THERE ANY OTHER TIME IT COULD COME WHERE IT WOULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY? 
          >> WE'VE NEVER CONTACTED THEM ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT THEY ASKED US ABOUT COMING FOR THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL. 
          >> HOW MANY RESERVATIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR FESTIVAL WEEKEND? 
          >> SOLD OUT. >> WE'RE SOLD OUT. 
          >> WHENEVER WE DO THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL RESERVATIONS, WE KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE POSSIBLY A COAST CARD CUTTER THERE, POSSIBLY 300 FEET OF SHRIMP BOATS. 
          SO WE KIND OF LEAVE THAT OUT OF THE WAITER. 
          [00:50:03]
WE DON'T RENT IT IN ADVANCE. AS WE GET CLOSER, WE SEE WE CAN DO IT, THEN WE GO BACK TO THE PEOPLE AND BRING SOME MORE FOLKS IN. BUT BASICALLY, WE'RE SOLD OUT. 
          NOW, IF SOMEONE CHOOSES TO PAY FOR IT, HOWEVER THEY WANT TO DO IT, I CERTAINLY WON'T TURN DOWN THE MONEY. 
          I'LL DO SOME REARRANGED. >> I KNOW IN THE PAST WHEN THEY CAME, IT'S A HUGE ATTRACTION. KIDS LIKE TO GO DOWN THERE. 
          IT'S REALLY BUSY. THEY CAME BEFORE WHEN THERE WASN'T ALREADY A BIG DEAL GOING ON ON THE ISLAND. 
          I THINK THE CITY WOULD GET MORE OUT OF IT IF IT WASN'T THAT FESTIVAL WEEKEND. LIKE IF THEY HAD IT LIKE THE WEEKEND AFTER MOTHER'S DAY WHEN PEOPLE WALK AROUND. 
          THERE'S NOT MUCH GOING ON. I THINK THE CITY AND YOU ALL -- 
          THE CITY WOULD BE BETTER OFF. >> THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE CITY, IF THEY HAD OTHER TIME AVAILABLE. 
          >> A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT, WE WERE KIND OF USING THAT AS A LURE TO GET MORTAL SHIPS HERE. THEY CONTROL ABOUT TEN OR 12 TALL SHIPS. YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS TALKING WITH JAMES ORIGINALLY, IT WAS A WAY THEY WOULD COME, HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. THEY'D SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH THE OTHER TALL SHIPS. SO WE COULD SCHEDULE THEM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. HOPEFULLY, THEY WOULD HAVE SUCH A GOOD EXPERIENCE THEY'D COME HERE AND THEY WOULD PAY THE DOCK FEE AND THEY WOULD DO EVERYTHING TO JUST BE A BENEFIT TO US. 
          >> I DID SPEAK WITH JAMES ABOUT THIS. 
          I THINK IT WAS MORE OR LESS THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THE NINA AND PINTA WHO WANTED THE LONGER TIME. 
          THE WEEK BEFORE SHRIMP FESTIVAL IS TYPICALLY SLOW HERE. 
          AND SO MY THOUGHT WAS THAT THAT WOULDN'T BE BAD, IF THEY COULD STAY. WE'D ALREADY COMMITTED TO THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL STAY, SO I KNEW THAT WAS ALREADY DONE. 
          WHEN THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED SOME EXTRA MONEY OR SOME SPONSORS PRIOR TO SHRIMP FESTIVAL WEEKEND, I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME. GENERALLY, MY BUSINESS IS SLOW THAT WEEK. IT'S LIKE THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM. THAT COULD BE A BETTER WEEK. 
          JAMES' STORY, IF YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR, THE LYNX WAS ANCHORED OFF SHORE FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THIS BEAUTIFUL SCOONER, ABOUT 15 YEARS OLD. THEY DIDN'T COME UP TO THE DOCKS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY DOCK. THEY ENDED UP IN BRUNSWICK, SPENT SOME TIME THERE. HAD PUBLIC SAILS ON BOARD THE LYNX WHILE IT WAS THERE. PEOPLE PAID FEES TO GET ON BOARD. IT'S IN THE SHIP YARD IN BRUNSWICK NOW GOING THROUGH A REFIT. 
          THEY SPENT $350,000 REPAIRING THAT TALL SHIP. 
          AND JAMES SAID THAT ONCE IT'S REPAIRED AND BACK IN SERVICE, THEY WOULD LOVE TO FIND THE TIME TO COME TO FERNANDINA. 
          SO THOSE TALL SHIP, THEY COME THROUGH PERIODICALLY. 
          IF WE WERE INVITING TO THEM, IF THEY WOULD COME MORE OFTEN, WE WOULD SEE THEM MORE OFTEN. THE FRENCH SHIPS CAME IN 2012. 
          THAT WAS QUITE AN ATTRACTION, COUPLE OF THEM SAILED ACROSS THE OCEAN TO VISIT THEM ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF OUR FIRST SETTLERS HERE. THE FRENCH CAME IN 1562. 
          SO THEY CAME. THAT WAS GREAT. 
          I THINK WE SHOULD MAYBE TRY TO WORK ON THIS. 
          TRY TO FIND WAYS TO FUND THE MARINA, TO MAKE MORE INCOME. 
          ANY TIME YOU DRIVE TRAFFIC TO THE WATERFRONT, IT HELPS INCREASE THE REVENUE FOR THE MARINA I THINK IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. SO I THINK THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD EXPERIMENT. LET'S SEE THE NINA AND PINTA DO. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL DOESN'T WANT TO BE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH ANY COST. I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETELY. 
          YOU COULD STILL BE PART OF IT THOUGH. 
          YOU WANT TO BE PART OF IT. >> YES, WE HAVE TO BE A PART OF IT IF THEY COME. FOR THEM TO USE OUR NAME ON ADVERTISEMENT, THAT THEY'LL BE HERE DURING THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL OR ANY TIME BEFORE THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL OR WHATEVER. 
          ONE THING I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT. I RAN IT BY JOE TODAY, IF THEY COULD -- IF THEY WANT TO COME EARLY, THEY COULD CONTACT YOU -- 
          >> THEY WOULDN'T GENERATE AS I'D LOVE TO DO THAT. 
          THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, TOO. 
          THAT WAS OUR THOUGHT. BUT IT WOULDN'T GENERATE QUITE THE INCOME AS IF THEY WERE TIED TO THE DOCK. 
          WE REALLY NEED THAT CONNECTION. >> THE OTHER THING ABOUT THE THREE DAYS OF THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL, WE'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE THAT WITH THE KID'S FUN ZONE. 
          IF THEY BUY AN ARM BAND, WE'LL GIVE THEM A FREE PASS FOR THE CHILDREN TO THE BOAT. BUT THE ADULTS WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY. IT'S STILL A WIN-WIN. 
          >> I THINK IF WE ALL GET OUR HEADS TOGETHER ON THIS ONE, WE CAN MAKE IT WORK. I DON'T SEE TOO MANY NEGATIVES. 
          [00:55:03]
          >> ONE THING I PROPOSED TO JAMES IS, IT'S $500 A DAY FOR THE DOCKAGE DOWN THERE. IF WE GOT SPONSORSHIPS FOR $500 PER DAY, SMALL SPONSORSHIPS THAN $3,000 IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT. 
          AND WITH THAT, HE WAS DOING A LOT OF AFTER HOURS THINGS. 
          THEY COULD DO THE TOURS UNTIL 5 OR 6 O'CLOCK AND THEN WHO EVER SPONSORS IT, CAN SPONSOR A TUESDAY NIGHT, THEN YOU HAVE THE SHIP TUESDAY NIGHT FOR THEIR OWN PROMO AND MAKE YOUR $500 BACK. 
          HIS PUSHBACK ON THAT WAS THAT HIS CREW WILL BE WORKING ALL DAY. THEY COULDN'T WORK AT NIGHT. 
          BUT I COULD VOLUNTEER THE PIRATES TO RUN THE SHIPS AT NIGHT AND HIS CLUE WOULD HAVE THE TIME OFF, TIME FOR THE CITY 
          TO MAKE SOME MONEY. >> THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD 
          EXPERIMENT. >> IF WE CAN GET EVERYTHING IN PLACE, I WANT TO GET THE SCHOOLS INVOLVED SO THEY CAN DO TRIPS 
          EITHER BEFORE -- >> THAT WEEK BEFORE. 
          THEY WOULD HAVE THE TIME TO DO THAT. 
          >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARLENE HAS IN MIND. 
          SHE WAS LOOKING ABOUT PROMOTING SOMETHING DOWNTOWN. 
          SHE'S OUT OF TOWN TODAY. I JUST NEED TO TAKE SOMETHING BACK TO HER THAT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED AND WE'RE INTERESTED, MAYBE THEY CAN BE INTERESTED AND WE CAN ALL PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER TO MAKE IT WORK. WE'RE NOT AGAINST IT. 
          IT'S JUST A WAY THAT THIS PERSON HAS TAKEN IT ON HIS OWN -- 
          >> I UNDERSTAND THAT ONE. I CAN TELL JUST BY TALKING WITH 
          HIM. >> IF YOU TALK TO HIM, YOU'RE ON 
          THE PHONE FOR TWO HOUR. >> HE'S A GOOD OLD BOY, FOR 
          SURE. >> I HAVE DIRECTED HIM NOW TO BYPASS THIS JAMES AND CONTACT -- WE HAVE A NUMBER FOR THE 
          FOUNDATION. >> YEAH, YEAH. 
          >> HE WASN'T EVEN LISTED AS ONE OF THE PRINCIPLES ON THERE. 
          >> HE'S GOING TO CONTACT THEM TOMORROW, OR START CONTACTING THEM, TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THEM ONE ON ONE TO GET THEM HERE. AND IF NEXT YEAR THE SANTA MARIA 
          -- >> THEY'VE ALREADY GOT THAT 
          SCHEDULED. >> IT'S ALREADY SCHEDULED TO 
          COME. >> ANOTHER VESSEL. 
          A SINGLE VESSEL NEXT YEAR. >> ORIGINALLY, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. THEY'RE OUT IN CALIFORNIA MAKING A MOVIE. THAT'S A LOT MORE MONEY. 
          >> BOATS TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD. 
          >> THAT'S WHERE WE STAND WITH THAT. 
          IF YOU WANT US TO KEEP GOING ON IT, I WILL. 
          I CAN REPORT TO YOU, JOE OR MR. ROSS. 
          >> I HAVE SOME NOTES. SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. 
          OBVIOUSLY, MARINA GIVING DOCK SPACE FOR THE FESTIVAL, THERE IS PRECEDENCE WITH THE COAST GUARD AND GEORGIA BULL DOG I THINK WAS ANOTHER ONE. AS LONG AS THEY UNDERSTAND THAT, WE ARE BUSINESS. THAT'S PROBABLY PART OF THE PROBLEM. THEY'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE MONEY BUT WE WILL BE SUBSIDIZING. 
          I'M GLAD TO HEAR THERE'S A POTENTIAL FOR SPONSORSHIPS. 
          THAT'S A MUST DO THIS TIME OF YEAR OUTSIDE OF THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL. NO MATTER HOW MANY THE GUY CAN TALK YOUR EAR OFF, NO JOKE. WE'RE TRYING TO SELL THE STOCK. 
          THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE ON BOARD. 
          I WORKED AT 18 YEARS OLD AT NEWPORT. 
          TALL SHIPS CAME IN. IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. 
          WHAT IT DOES FOR THE COMMUNITY IS WONDERFUL. 
          I HOPE THIS GETS LEGS. I'M VERY EXCITED. 
          >> I'M RECENTLY FROM MARYLAND. THIS BUY CENTENNIAL HAD THE 
          SHIPS AT CHESAPEAKE BAY. >> SAME THING. 
          >> WHAT THEY DID AND EVERYTHING. THEY HAD FILM OF IT, EIGHT TRACKS OR WHATEVER. IT'S A WIN WIN FOR EVERYBODY EXCEPT FOR THE ATTITUDE. THAT'S WHAT GOT ME TURNED OFF ABOUT THIS GUY JAMES. HE'S NOT GONNA HOLD US OR THE CITY OR ANYONE ELSE AND SAY IT'S MY WAY OR -- WE HAVE E-MAILS SAYING FERNANDINA IS GONNA MISS OUT ON IT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 
          COMING. >> THAT'S TOO BAD. 
          >> THAT'S WHAT I SAY. >> EACH ONE OF THESE SHIPS IS RUN BY DIFFERENT NOT FOR PROFITS. 
          LOT OF TIMES -- THIS ORGANIZATION, I THINK THEY MOVE THEM AROUND. IF YOU BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ACTUAL ENTITY THAT OWNS IT, THEN YOU CAN DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THEM. HE'S KIND OF LIKE THE MIDDLE MAN THERE. EVERYTHING I SAW THAT I COULD FIND ON THE INTERNET FOR HIS ORGANIZATION, HE'S LIKE THE MIDDLE MAN FOR THAT. HE'S GOT A RELATIONSHIP WITH SEVERAL VESSELS. HE'S FROM MY HOMETOWN, GLOUSTER 
          [01:00:10]
MASSACHUSETTS. WE HAVE A SCOONER RACE. 
          HUNDREDS SHOW UP TO RACE OFF SHORE ON THAT WEEKEND. 
          IT'S AN EVENT THAT YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY THAT I KNOW OF. IT'S AN AMAZING, AMAZING THING. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE GUYS -- AND I'M A SAILOR, RUN EACH OTHER OVER ALL JOCKEYING FOR POSITION. IT'S SPECTACULAR TO SEE IT FROM 
          THE SHORE. >> SO, IN OTHER WORDS, THEY'RE GONNA PAY FOR EVERY DAY THEY STAY HERE. 
          THEY'RE GONNA PAY $500 FOR TWO BOATS. 
          IF THEY'RE HERE FOR SEVEN DAYS, IT WOULD BE $3500. 
          EACH DAY THEY STAY HERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THE DOCK? 
          IT'S NO FREEBIE. >> OUTSIDE OF THE SHRIMP 
          FESTIVAL. >> CAN I THROW THAT IN? 
          >> YES. >> TO HAVE THEM HERE FOR THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL, IT'S GREAT. BRINGS PEOPLE DOWN, PUBLICITY, THE NEWSPAPERS WILL BE THERE, TV WILL BE THERE. 
          EVERYONE WILL BE THERE. IT WILL BE A WONDERFUL THING. 
          AS FAR AS THEM COMING SOME OTHER WEEK, THERE'S MORE PEOPLE THERE AT THAT TIME, THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY CAN. I HAVE TWO CONCERNS. 
          ONE, IF WE GET THIS CHECK AND THESE SPONSORS, DOES THE MARINA GET THE MONEY OR DOES THE CITY GET THE MONEY? MARINA STILL OUT THERE NOT GETTING PAID FOR THE DOCKAGE. 
          >> MY QUESTION IS, ARE THEY PAYING THE CITY MARINA DOCK FEES? WE'RE HERE TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE CITY MARINA. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SUPPORT. 
          IF IT'S GOING TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE CITY MARINA, I'M ALL FOR IT AND MAKE A MOTION FOR THE COMMISSIONERS TO TAKE IT IN. 
          WHEN WE'RE ALREADY BOOKED THAT WEEKEND OUT ALREADY. 
          >> THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY. TO YOU. 
          TO THE MARINA. >> THIS GROUP HAS TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO PASS UP TO THE CITY MANAGER TO TAKE TO THE COMMISSIONERS THEMSELVES. SO THE RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD START OUT THAT BEFORE THE DAYS REQUESTED FOR THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL, NO PROBLEM. WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS COME UP WITH TIME BEFORE, TIME AFTER THAT X AMOUNT, $500 FEE HAS TO BE PAID BY SOME MEANS IN ADVANCE. 
          THAT'S UP TO Y'ALL TO DECIDE HOW YOU WANT TO DO THAT. 
          OR IF YOU WANT TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY THAT THEY CAN LIVE HERE FOR THREE MONTHS. THAT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION. 
          IT'S WHATEVER YOU WANT TO RECOMMEND. 
          >> ARE THEY PAYING FOR THE FOUR DAYS DURING SHRIMP FESTIVAL? 
          >> NO. NOT DURING SHRIMP FESTIVAL. 
          >> THAT WAS ALREADY GRANTED TO THEM. 
          >> WHY IS THAT GRANTED? >> FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WE NEVER CHARGED THE SHRIMP BOATS FOR COMING IN. 
          WE DIDN'T CHARGE THE COAST GUARD CU CUTTER FOR COMING IN. WHEN THEY CAME AND SAID CAN WE HAVE THESE TALL SHIPS, GOOD DRAW TO COME DOWN THERE. 
          I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT. >> THEY'RE ENTERING THOSE BOATS FREE, AT NO COST TO THE PUBLIC. THEY ARE HERE TO STAY FREE, BUT THEY'RE CHARGING PEOPLE TO GET ON THE BOAT. 
          >> MY INITIAL CONCERN WHEN I FIRST TALKED TO THEM, EVERY OTHER TALL SHIP. WE'VE HAD THREE GROUPS THAT HAVE WANTED TO PUT TALL SHIPS HERE ON A PERMANENT BASIS FOR FREE. 
          PERMANENT BASIS FOR FREE. AND WHAT I HAVE SAID TO ANYONE WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IF YOU'RE GIVING YOUR SERVICES TO THE CITY, WE WILL NOT CHARGE YOU FOR OUR SERVICES. 
          IF YOU'RE MAKING MONEY OFF YOUR BOAT, WE'VE GOT TO MAKE MONEY 
          OFF OF YOU. >> I AGREE. 
          >> YOU CAN'T MAKE $10,000 AND NOT GIVE ME MY $500. 
          BUT WITH THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL ASIDE IT TO BRING THEM IN, WHAT WAS THE QUESTION. I SAID THAT MUCH I CAN ACCEPT. 
          ANYTHING PRIOR AND ANYTHING SUBSEQUENT TO IT, NO. 
          THEY'RE MAKING MONEY, WE NEED TO. 
          >> TO BE HONEST, WHAT I SEE HERE, BECAUSE THIS CAME UP BEYOND ANY OF US BEING AWARE OF IT. 
          AND BECAUSE THE PRECEDENT HAD BEEN SET BY OTHER VESSELS USING THE MARINA FOR FREE DURING THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL, GEORGIA 
          BULLDOGS AND OTHERS. >> THEY'RE NOT CHARGING FEES. 
          >> I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT BECAUSE THE NINA AND PINTA WERE ALREADY OFFERED THE FOUR DAY STAY FOR FREE, THAT'S BEEN DONE. SO WE CAN ADD THOSE EXTRA DAYS ON. IN THE FUTURE PERHAPS, WE SHOULD MAKE SOME SORT OF STANDING WHERE, WHEN THOSE VESSELS DO COME AND THEY CHARGE A FEE, THAT THEY HAVE TO FIND SPONSORSHIP FOR ALL OF THEIR DAYS, RIGHT? THIS ONE IS KIND OF WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE. WE'VE ALREADY OFFERED IT. 
          >> THE WHOLE THING IS STILL UP IN QUESTION. 
          >> I THINK WE OUGHT TO CHARGE FOR THOSE FOUR DAYS. 
          THAT'S MONEY WE'RE TURNING AWAY. >> $2,000. 
          >> AND HAVE SPONSORSHIP FOR ALL FOUR DAYS. 
          [01:05:01]
          >> I THINK JAMES IS GONNA SAY NO. 
          UNLESS WE CAN FIND SPONSORS FOR THAT, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. 
          >> HE'S ALREADY SAID HE'S NOT COMING IF THEY HAVE TO PUT UP ANY MONEY. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GET THAT 
          MANY SPONSORS. >> I THINK SPONSORS ARE THE FUTURE. I HAVE BEEN THINKING THAT ALL ALONG. IF WE CAN FIND A WAY -- I HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH GIL LANGLEY. 
          WE COULD HAVE RAINIER PERHAPS, MAYBE THE RITZ CARLTON OR SOME OF THE OTHER HOTELS. OTHER PEOPLE CAN HELP SPONSOR THESE EVENTS WHERE THE WHOLE BILL IS PAID. 
          BUT AT THIS POINT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE $3,000 FOR THE PORTION THAT HASN'T BEEN FUNDED AND JOE HAS ALREADY OFFERED THEM A FOUR-DAY STAY? I GUESS IT'S FOUR DAYS? 
          >> I HAVEN'T OFFERED THEM ANYTHING. 
          >> AT THE TIME I WAS FIRST ASKED IT WAS THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY. DID I SAY YES? YES. I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD MAKE 
          ROOM FOR THEM. >> YOU'RE GONNA TURN OTHER PEOPLE AWAY TO GIVE UP A FREEBIE THERE. 
          I DON'T SEE IT. I DON'T SEE IT AT ALL. 
          TVC CAN SPONSOR THOSE FOUR DAYS IF THEY WANT TO. 
          >> WE'VE ALREADY LEANED ON THEM ALREADY. 
          >> COUPLE THINGS. >> WE MAY HAVE OVERSTEPPED OUR 
          BOUNDARY. >> WITH THE GEORGIA BULL DOG AND THE COAST GUARD, FIRST OF ALL, THEY DON'T CHARGE TOURISTS. 
          THAT'S NUMBER ONE. THAT'S WHY IN OUR HISTORY, WE HAD THOSE TWO VESSELS. THEY WERE GRATIS AND THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD PR. MAYBE IF THEY'RE CHARGING TO COME ON BOARD, THAT'S A BIG GAME CHANGER FOR ME. 
          MAYBE AT LEAST DURING SHRIMP FESTIVAL, A SPLIT OF THE TAKE. 
          BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING ALL THIS CAPTIVE AUDIENCE THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE. I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM SAY, WE'RE NOT GONNA COME. WE SAY WE SPLIT THE REVENUE DURING SHRIMP FESTIVAL AND OUTSIDE IT'S FULL DOCKAGE, IF YOU WANT THIS YEAR TO HAVE A LITTLE KINDNESS. 
          WE BATTLE ALL THE TIME ABOUT REVENUE. 
          IF THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL COMMITTEE, I KNOW YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THING FORCE ENTERTAINMENT. 
          SOMETHING TO BRING BACK TO THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL COMMITTEE. 
          YOU CAN FIND SPONSOR. >> WE DON'T HAVE THEM. 
          WE LOST $30,000 LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER. 
          >> I WAS ON THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL COMMITTEE, SO I DO UNDERSTAND THE CONSTRAINTS. ENTERTAINERS ARE PAID. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON. 
          FIREWORKS, THAT'S PAID. THERE HAS TO BE SOME SOUL SEARCHING, IS IT REALLY THAT IMPORTANT THAT THESE BOATS ARE IN HERE, TOO. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TIGHTEN THE BELTS. THERE'S SOMETHING I'M JUST THROWING OUT FOR THOUGHT. I THINK AT THE VERY LEAST REVENUE SHARE THIS ROUND. HE'S GONNA COME. 
          AFTER THAT SAY IT'S FULL. JUST GIVE THEM ONE TIME TO GO HALFWAY. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD ACCOUNT FOR IT. BUT TO JUST GIVE IT AWAY FREE 
          WHEN THEY'RE MAKING MONEY. >> WE'RE SQUEEZING EVERY SLIP HOLDER FOR EXTRA MONEY. AN WE'RE GONNA GIVE THIS AWAY FREE. I DON'T SEE IT. 
          >> THE SHRIMP BOAT COMMITTEE, WE HAVE 200,000 PEOPLE THAT'S GONNA VISIT THIS ISLAND OVER THE WEEKEND. 
          IF THEY WANT TO BE PART OF IT, THEY CAN PAY JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES DOWN THERE AND THEY'LL HAVE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE OR SPLIT THE REVENUE. THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU ALREADY SAID THE MARINA'S FULL, SO YOU'RE TURNING MONEY AWAY THAT WE VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH SO NEED. 
          IF THEY CAN COME A DIFFERENT WEEKEND, IT WOULD HELP OUT. 
          >> THERE'S 110,000 PEOPLE, NOT 200,000. 
          THERE'S NO ROOM FOR 200,000 PEO 
          PEOPLE. >> IT'S GOOD FOR BEER SALES. 
          >> IT'S A PROBLEM TO SAY NO YOU'RE NOT COMING UNLESS YOU PAY UP. THEY'RE GONNA SAY, OKAY, THEY'RE NOT COMING. THAT'S FINE FOR THIS YEAR. 
          IT WOULD GIVE US TIME TO WORK FOR NEXT YEAR TO HAVE SPONSORS, WHATEVER. WE'RE DOWN TO LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS. YOU START KNOCKING ON DOORS FOR MONEY, IT'S JUST NOT THAT EASY. WE CAN THINK OF PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO PAY DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION COULD CHIP IN, THE HISTORIC WHATEVER. IT'S GONNA BRING BUSINESS TO THEM. EVERYBODY CAN MAKE IT WORK. 
          DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS TIME OF YEAR. 
          IT CAN BE ANYTIME. I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF WE'RE NOT GONNA GET FREE DOCKAGE FOR THEM THIS YEAR, WE'RE OUT OF 
          [01:10:02]
BUSINESS. I DON'T WANT THEM. 
          >> SIDE BAR COMMENT, DURING THE COURSE OF THE YEAR WHEN WE WERE OPEN, I WOULD GET AT LEAST FOUR REQUESTS FROM SOME TALL SHIP THAT WAS COMING UP THE COAST, COMING BACK FROM SOMEWHERE, GOING SOMEWHERE AND WANTED TO KNOW COULD THEY TIE UP A FEW DAY FREE. SAME REMARK TO THEM IS WILL IT BE FREE OR WILL YOU BE CHARGING ADMISSION AND SELLING MERCHANDISE? OH, YES. 
          THEN, OF COURSE, I HAVE TO CHARGE YOU. 
          MARINA MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION WE GO WITH THIS ONE, THERE'S TOO MUCH UNKNOWN WHO'S GONNA COME WHEN, WHO'S GONNA GO THERE. 
          PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IF YOU'RE AT THE MARINA, $2.50 A FOOT PER DAY PER BOAT. END OF SENTENCE. 
          THAT INCLUDES THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL, ALSO. 
          THAT WOULD SET THE SECOND PRECEDENT THAT NOW WE HAVE MONEY MAKING ENTITIES AT THE MARINA NOT PAYING SO NEXT YEAR THERE WILL BE A COUPLE TALL SHIP, FEW SUBMARINES THAT ARE CHARGING. 
          IF YOU'RE AT THE MARINA, YOU PAY. 
          >> THAT'S FINE. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE OF THEM WANTING TO COME EARLY AND NOT JUST PULL IN AND DO THEIR THING AND PULL OUT. I'LL TALK TO ARLENE TOMORROW. 
          IF SHE'S GOT MONEY, WE CAN PUT IT BACK ON THE BOARD. 
          HE CAN CONTACT THIS JAMES. IF YOU WANT TO -- 
          >> I HAVE TOLD JAMES I HAVE GOT $3,000 AVAILABLE BUT THAT'S ALL HE'S GOT. IF HE DOESN'T HAVE FREE DOCKAGE, HE'LL HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO CO-SPONSOR. 
          >> I DON'T THINK THE TVC -- >> I DON'T THINK THEY'LL 
          CO-SPONSOR. >> I DON'T THINK THEY NEED TO PAY THIS YEAR DURING THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL. 
          HE HEMMED AND HAWED, WELL, WE MAY NOT BE THERE ON TIME. 
          >> DO THEY MAKE ALSO SHIPS -- IF THEY HAVE TO PAY 500 AN THEY TAKE IN 10,000 WORTH OF INCOME -- 
          >> IT IS TO US. >> ISN'T IT -- I'M A 
          BUSINESSMAN. >> I'M SURE THEY HAVE A BUSINESS 
          PLAN. >> IF THEY'RE GONNA LOSE MONEY BY NOT COMING, THEY'RE GONNA PAY THE $500. 
          >> HE'S MAKING IT A BIG DEAL, THEY'RE DOING US A FAVOR BECAUSE 
          WE'RE ON THE GULF COAST. >> $500 A DAY IS NOT GONNA BREAK THEM. IF THEY COME ALL THE WAY UP 
          HERE, THEY'RE MAKING MONEY. >> THEY TYPICALLY WILL ONLY GO TO PORTS THAT GIVE THEM FREE DOCKAGE. 
          IF THAT'S ALL JOE GETS FROM THOSE FOLK. 
          THEY DON'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT FREE DOCKAGE OR SOMEONE SPONSORING THEM. THE LIKELIHOOD OF THOSE SHIPS EVER STOPPING HERE IF SOMEONE CAN'T FIND A WAY TO SPONSOR THEM OR IF THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, THEY WILL NEVER STOP. 
          IT'S KIND OF -- WE'RE NOT EVER GONNA SEE THEM HERE UNLESS WE FIND WAYS TO SPONSOR THEM OR FIND SPONSORS. 
          WHETHER IT'S THE CITY. I UNDERSTAND. 
          WE JUST SPENT $10 MILLION REDOING THIS MARINA. 
          WE HAVE TO FIND INCOME. GOT TO DO THAT. 
          >> THAT'S FINE. IF THE SUN'S OUT THIS YEAR, I'D BE GLAD TO BUY THEM FOR THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL. 
          >> SURE IF YOU KNEW YOU HAD PLENTY OF MONEY COMING IN FOR 
          THAT WEEKEND. >> COMMISSIONER ROSS? 
          >> LITTLE MORE THAN $10 MILLION. >> I'M JUST ROUNDING IT OFF. 
          >> HE WAS PUSHING FOR US TO GO TO THE CITY FOR MONEY AND I 
          WOULDN'T DO THAT. >> I DON'T THINK THE CITY SHOULD PAY FOR IT. I DON'T THINK THE MARINA SHOULD NECESSARILY PAY FOR IT. I JUST THOUGHT IF THE MARINA WAS GOING TO GIVE UP FOUR DAY, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO TRY IT AND SEE IF IT WORK. IF IT DOESN'T WORK, WE WON'T DO 
          IT AGAIN. >> IF IT WAS FOUR DAYS THAT THE MARINA WASN'T SOLD OUT ALREADY, I WOULD PROBABLY SAY, LET'S ENTERTAIN IT. BUT, YOU KNOW, ON A SLOW WEEKEND OR SOMETHING. BUT ON A WEEKEND YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT THOSE SLIPS SOLD, WHY GIVE UP THE MONEY? 
          >> THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL NOW WILL DRAW A FEW MORE PEOPLE HERE THAT WEEKEND. THE NUMBERS COULD BE 120,000 VISITORS THAT WEEKEND IF THE TALL SHIPS ARE HERE, RIGHT? 
          KIND OF LIKE SOME WIN SOME LOSE. >> LIKE I SAY, WE WANT TO PUT A COUPON IN -- SOMETHING ELSE LOCAL. 
          THE ESSENTIALS. THAT IF YOU BOUGHT AN ARM BAND, THEN A CHILD WOULD GET A FREE ADMISSION. 
          IT WOULD HELP WITH US THE KIDS FUN DAYS. 
          [01:15:02]
          >> RIGHTLY SO. I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          I'M NOT AGAINST THEM COMING. IF IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THE DOWNTOWN MERCHANT, THEY SHOULD COUGH UP THE $500 A DAY. 
          >> I'LL BRING IT UP. I GO TO THE MEETINGS. 
          >> THEY'RE GONNA BENEFIT FROM IT. 
          >> SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THESE GUYS RATHER 
          QUICKLY. >> DO WE HAVE A MOTION? 
          >> MY ONLY QUESTION IS, I THINK WE'RE AT A POINT IF WE COME UP WITH WORDING FOR A RECOMMENDATION, WE STILL HAVE TWO OTHER ITEMS THAT WILL BE A VERY LENGTHY CONVERSATION. 
          >> YOU'RE MAKING SOME GOOD POINTS. 
          >> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CHARGE THEM LIKE WE DO EVERYBODY ELSE. IF THEY'RE MAKING MONEY, WE 
          OUGHT TO MAKE MONEY. >> COULD I INTERPRET THAT TO SAY ANY PROFIT MAKING ENTITY THAT COMES TO THE MARINA MUST PAY FOR 
          THEIR DOCKAGE. >> MAKING IS NOT THE RIGHT TERM. 
          IF THEY ARE CHARGING FOR ADMISSION, REGARDLESS OF WHAT 
          KIND OF OPERATION. >> I SECOND IT. 
          >> BULL DOG AND COAST GUARD ARE FINE. 
          >> THE BULL DOG'S NOT COMING BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE A BUDGET TO PAY FOR THEIR ROOMS. WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR THEIR ROOMS. THAT'S $4,000. 
          >> SHRIMP FESTIVAL COMMITTEE HAS PAID FOR THOSE IN THE PAST FOR 
          THE BULL DOG. >> YES. 
          MY THING IS THEY'VE GOT THE SAME TYPE OF BUDGET WE HAVE. 
          THEY HAVE MORE MONEY THAN ALL OF US HERE FROM THE COLLEGE. 
          >> SO WE HAVE A MOTION. SECONDED. 
          >> WHO SECONDED IT? >> JOE. 
          >> DO WE HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION? WE'VE HAD QUITE A BIT OF DISCUSSION SO FAR. 
          >> I'M COMFORTABLE IN MY PART OF THIS DISCUSSION, TO GO BACK TO MY ORIGINAL THOUGHT THAT IF YOU'RE MAKING MONEY, WE HAVE TO MAKE MONEY. IF I'M CHARGING THESE BOATERS FOR THINGS I'M CHARGING, I CAN'T GIVE IT AWAY, UNLESS SOMEBODY 
          SOMEWHERE COMES UP WITH MONEY. >> ANY ENTITY THAT HAS CAPTIVE AUDIENCE OF 100,000 OR MORE PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND WHO ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING EVERY SHRIMP FESTIVAL AND THERE'S TWO TALL SHIPS HERE, THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE A BUNDLE. THEY'RE GOING TO TURN THAT DOWN FOR $500? I'M A GOOD CAPITALIST, 
          OBVIOUSLY. >> OKAY. 
          CALL THE BOAT. CALL, INDIVIDUALLY, I GUESS ON 
          THIS ONE. >> THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ONE FOR 
          MR. BLANCHARD. >> IN FAVOR. 
          >> MR. ALLEN. >> YES. 
          >> TERRY? >> YES. 
          >> SCOTT? >> YES. 
          >> COLEMAN? >> YES. 
          >> I'LL VOTE YES, ALSO. I'LL WORD THAT UP NICELY SO THAT YOU CAN GIVE IT BACK TO WHO YOU HAVE TO. 
          >> THANK YOU, FELLAS. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> CAN I ASK A QUESTION? >> SURE. 
          >> SO THE MOTION YOU JUST MADE, THIS IS A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION 
          TO THE CITY COMMISSION? >> CORRECT. 
          >> SO WHEN THIS COMES UP BEFORE US. 
          OKAY. >> YOU WILL MAKE THE DECISION. 
          >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> OKAY. THANK YOU. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. 
          [Item 7.1]
ITEM NUMBER 7.1. THE MOORING FIELD UPDATE. 
          JOE? >> PART OF THE MANAGER REPORT IS MOORING FIELD UPDATE. COUPLE THINGS HAVE GONE ON. 
          I HAVE BEEN ASKED SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. 
          I SENT A QUESTION TO THE CITY MANAGER. 
          HE SAID ONCE AGAIN COME BACK TO THIS GROUP TO GET A RECOMMENDATION. INITIALLY THE PLAN WAS TO OPEN THE MOORING AT THE SAME TIME WE OPENED THE MARINA. 
          PLAN WAS TO HAVE ALL OF THE MOORING CHANGE REPLACED AND THE MARINA WAS TO BE OPENED. WHAT WE FOUND WAS WE CAN'T OPEN THE MOORING FIELD BECAUSE NOW WE'RE HAVING TO GO CHASE THEM OUT OF THE WATER. SO KNOWING THAT, I WENT AHEAD AND LOOKED INTO HAVING A DIVER COME OUT AND DO THE REPLACEMENT AND THE REPAIR ON THE BALLS THAT WE HAVE. 
          WE DIDN'T NEED AN INSPECTION. THEY WERE BREAKING THEM. 
          GUESS WHAT? WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. 
          I WENT OUT TO A PERSON THAT CAN DO THIS. 
          HE'S GIVEN ME A PRICE OF RIGHT AT -- HERE IT IS HERE. 
          TO GO OUT -- OKAY. MR. MOORING PERSON, I WANT TO REPLACE ALL 12 MOORING BALLS AND GET RID OF THE CHAIN THAT KEEPS RUSTING AND BREAKING. I WANT AN ELASTIC ROPE SO IT 
          [01:20:04]
GIVES ON THE BOAT. I DON'T WANT THESE HARD PLASTICS THAT SCRATCH THE BOAT. I WANT SOMETHING THAT PROTECTS THE BOAT. AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE DOING THAT, I NEED YOU TO TAKE THAT ROPE DOWN. 
          NOW WE HAVE THE 12 MOORING BALLS. 
          AT THE SAME TIME YOU COME OUT, I'M GOING TO PURCHASE THE PERIMETER BUOYS SO THAT YOU CAN INSTALL THOSE WITH ANCHORS, ALSO, INSTEAD OF USING SMALL BLOCKS AND BRICKS AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU TRIED TO USE THAT NEVER SEEM TO WORK. 
          WHEN IT CAME TO RIGHT AT $32,000, 33, I'LL SAY. 
          THAT'S HIGHER THAN MY SPENDING LIMIT. 
          WHEN I TOOK THAT TO THE CITY MANAGER, THAT'S HIGHER THAN HIS SPENDING LIMIT. BEFORE WE WENT FURTHER OR EVEN WENT OUT FOR OTHER BIDS, THE IDEA THAT IT HAD TO COME FROM THIS GROUP, THE RECOMMENDATION, DO WE PURSUE OPENING THE MOORING FIELD OR DO WE NOT PURSUE OPENING THE MOORING FIELD IN THIS TIME FRAME DEPENDING ON YOUR DECISION, YOUR RECOMMENDATION. EITHER WE'LL GO FIND MONEY SOMEWHERE NOW OR WE WILL REAPPROPRIATE MONEY THAT'S ALREADY SET ASIDE FOR OTHER THINGS FOR THE MARINA OR WE'LL WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR AND MAKE IT ONE OF OUR REQUESTS. 
          TOO BAD PAUL IS NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE GRANTS. 
          SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, IS THIS THE TIME TO PURSUE OPENING THE MOORING FIELD AND REPLACING ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE OUT 
          THERE? >> WHEN IS THE PAYBACK TIME FOR THE INVESTMENT? WHAT'S THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT? 
          >> YOU'RE GONNA GET $25 A NIGHT. >> TALK AMONGST YOURSELF. 
          >> I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK INSTEAD GIVE A FLIPPANT ANSWER TO THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I WENT BACK THROUGH MY HEAD TO DO THIS EARLIER PROVING WE NEEDED TO GO WITH 72. 
          >> $300 IF WE DO ALL OF THEM. >> 1,000 NIGHTS? 
          >> WHAT'S YOUR OCCUPANCY? >> 60%. 
          ALSO KEEP IN MIND THE PLAN THAT WAS IN PLACE IN 2015/2016 WAS TO INCREASE THE MOORING FIELD AND HAVE 72 MOORING BALLS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH DOCK SPACE FOR THE BOATS THAT WANTED TO COME. I HAVE, HONEST TO GOODNESS, THE BOATS ARE GOING TO COME. THEY'RE GOING TO DROP ANCHOR IF WE DON'T HAVE A MOORING FIELD. WHAT THIS WILL DO IS LET ME KNOW DO I NEED TO PULL WHAT'S OUT THERE BEFORE THE CROWD COMES IN AND STARTS TYING TO THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND END UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN SOMEWHERE. 
          >> YEAH, I THINK THE PRO-SPECK OF FIVE BEING AVAILABLE DOWN THE ROAD. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THIS BRAND NEW FACILITY WE WANT TO FILL UP FIRST ANYWAY BECAUSE THE MOORINGS ARE A CHEAP ALTERNATIVE FOR THAT. 
          I WOULD SAY DEFER FOR A YEAR. FIND OUT ABOUT THE GRANT OPTION. 
          THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY RIGHT NOW. WE'RE ALREADY TIGHT. 
          I THINK WAIT A YEAR. >> SPEAKING OF THE MONEY SIDE OF IT, I WENT AHEAD BECAUSE I FIGURED THAT WOULD COME UP AT SOME POINT. AND THE MOORING FIELD RIGHT NOW, THERE'S $23,600. SO IF I WAS TO SPEND EVERY BIT OF THAT MONEY ON THE PROJECT -- FIGURE THERE'S GONNA BE OTHER THINGS THAT COME UP. I THINK BETWEEN WHAT'S ALREADY BUDGETED IN THE MARINA AND SPLIT IT 50/50 WITH THE NEW MONEY OF SOME SORT, NOW YOU'RE TALKING 15. 
          STILL END UP PAYING FOR IT. >> MY FOLLOWING THING WAS, GIVE ME $34,000 SO I CAN PUT ALL NEW STUFF OUT THERE. 
          WELL, WE DON'T HAVE $34,000. GIVE ME $14,000. 
          OR GIVE ME THE ABILITY TO PURSUE GETTING $14,000. 
          FIND APPROPRIATED REAL CLOSE TO $400,000 IN THIS FISCAL YEAR AND 150 OF IT. BECAUSE OF THE MISTAKE I MADE WHEN IT CAME TO THE BATHROOM OF NOT REALIZING IT WOULD HAVE TO GO UP TO FLOOD PLAIN LEVEL. WE HAVE TO BULL DOZE THE WHOLE BUILDING KIND OF PUT THINGS IN A STEW THERE. 
          AT SOME POINT IN TIME IT WAS ALL DEDICATED BACK OVER TO JUST THE BATHROOM FACILITY. SO IF I HAD THE MONEY, TALKING WITH OUR GRANTS ADMINISTRATOR TODAY, SHE'S SAYING I'M NOT SAYING THEY WOULD JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO REAPPROPRIATE THIS BACK TO WHERE IT WAS TAKEN FROM, BUT WHEN YOU'RE ONLY TALKING -- YOU'RE NOT TALKING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. 
          YOU'RE TALKING A SMALL AMOUNT. HER OPINION WAS IT COULD BE DONE 
          [01:25:02]
TO GET THEM TO ACTUALLY REAPPROPRIATE ALL THE MONEY FOR THIS $35,000 PROJECT KNOWING THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEND 150. 
          >> WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER RECOMMENDATION. 
          >> LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING TALKING ABOUT THAT FINE MONEY. 
          IF THEY COULD REAPPROPRIATE IT TO ANOTHER AREA, IS THERE ANY WAY THEY COULD REAPPROPRIATE THAT MONEY TO NORTH DOCK TWO AND NORTH DOCK THREE FOR RODS AND FIXING THE WEATHER BOARDS? 
          >> THAT'S THE NEXT TOPIC TO DISCUSS. 
          I THINK IT'S MORE VIABLE TO GO THAT ROUTE BECAUSE IF SOMETHING DOESN'T GET DONE, THEY WILL BE BROKE UP AND YOU'LL LOSE THOSE TWO DOCKS. THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION TO THIS BOARD. WE'LL BRING THAT UP HERE 
          SHORTLY. >> THAT'S GOING TO BE BROUGHT 
          UP. >> THAT'S THE NEXT ITEM. 
          >> LET'S SETTLE THE MOORING BALLS. 
          UNTIL YOU COME UP WITH THE NUMBERS TO TELL US WHERE THE PAYBACK IS, I DON'T THINK WE CAN MAKE THAT DECISION. 
          >> IT WAS BROUGHT UP AT ONE POINT IN TIME. 
          WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU EVEN OFFER SOMEONE A $25 OPTION WHEN YOU CAN GET A $100 OPTION ON THE DOCKS? IF YOUR DOCKS ARE FULL EVERY NIGHT, THEN START LOOKING ELSEWHERE. IF WE DO IT, WE DO IT. 
          IF WE DE DON'T DO IT. 
          I WILL BE MORE THAN GLAD TO DO. IT WILL BE NOTED BY ALL OF THE SAILOR MAGAZINES THAT THE CITY OF FERNANDINA HAS TURNED OFF ITS MOORING FIELD AND THEY NO LONGER WANT SAIL BOATS. 
          >> THAT WAS GONNA BE MY ARGUMENT THERE. 
          THE SAILORS DON'T WANT TO PAY THE COST. 
          THEY WON'T. THEY NEVER DO. 
          BUT LOT OF TIMES, ESPECIALLY IN OUR LITTLE PORT, YOU'RE SAFER ON A GOOD MOORING. MOORINGS HOLD ABOUT 20. 
          >> YOU TELL ME. >> 15 AT LEAST. 
          I CAN'T REMEMBER. >> IF THEY'RE FISHING, 20. 
          >> THAT'S THE LIFE SPAN OF A MOORING. 
          THE POLES ARE STILL GOOD. IT'S EVERYTHING. 
          >> I WOULD MAKE A MOTION WE POSTPONE SPONSORING THE MOORING FIELD UNTIL WE CAN BRING UP ALL, WHAT WAS IT, 25 OR 50 MOORING BALLS? THAT WAS ORIGINALLY -- 
          >> THE ORIGINAL ONE WAS FOR 20. WE CAN'T BRING THOSE UP BECAUSE THERE'S NINE OF THEM, EIGHT OF THEM THAT ARE SO CLOSE TO THE ISLAND THAT THERE'S NO WATER UNDERNEATH OF THEM. 
          THEY WERE PUT IN TOO CLOSE. ALSO DIRT CHIPPED IN. 
          IT FILLED IN SO IT DOESN'T GET WASHED AWAY. 
          >> WE HAVE A TOTAL AMOUNT, WE HAVE TEN NOW, BUT THE GOAL IS TO 
          HAVE 20. >> SUPPOSED TO HAVE 72. 
          >> THAT'S HAVING NEW BALLS, NEW EVERYTHING. 
          >> JOE, I GOT A QUESTION. IF A SAIL BOAT COMES IN. 
          LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL ANCHOR AND COME IN FOR THE DAY, DO YOU 
          CHARGE THEM? >> $4 FOR FEE ACCESS AND ANOTHER $4 IF THEY WANT SHOWER AND LAUNDRY ACCESS. 
          LITTLE MORE MONEY WITH THE MOORING. 
          BUT IF YOU HAVE THE MOORING THAT'S 10 OR 12, IF IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT THERE IS NO MOORING, YOU'LL HAVE MORE PEOPLE COME IN KNOWING THEY HAVE TO ANCHOR UP. SO MAYBE THE RECOMMEND EIGHT HERE WOULD BE SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF THERE ARE UNKNOWN SITUATIONS INVOLVED IN THIS THING. 
          WHAT WOULD THE PAY BACK BE IF THIS WAS COMPLETED? WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO GET THE FINE MONEY REAPPROPRIATED OR IS IT BEST TO ROLL THIS PART OF IT INTO THE NEW AND IMPROVED 72-BALL MOORING FIELD ALL AT ONE TIME AND NOT SPEND THIS 30,000 
          TK AT THIS TIME? >> WHERE DOES THE 72-BALL MOORING FIELD STAND AT THIS POINT? WE ALMOST HAD IT READY TO GO BEFORE MATTHEW. 
          >> WE ALMOST HAD IT READY TO GO. LAST THING ATM DID, THERE WAS CONCERN FROM THE PEOPLE ON TIGER ISLAND THAT IT WAS GETTING TOO CLOSE. THAT'S WHY WE WENT FROM 98 BALLS DOWN TO 72, TO GIVE THEM MORE ROOM. 
          THE LAST THING THAT WAS GOING ON IN 2017 WAS THE LAST PERMIT WAS IN PLACE, BUT THEY NEEDED TO HAVE A START DATE, A COMMITMENT FROM THE CITY, FROM EVERYONE BEFORE THEY WOULD JUST, WELL, WE'RE NOT GONNA PERMIT THIS IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD IT, WHICH AT THAT TIME WE DIDN'T. 
          I DO THINK WHEN THAT GETS TURNED BACK ON F THE CITY CHOOSES TO DO THAT, IT WILL NOT BE A LONG DRAWN OUT THING. 
          >> THE DELINEATING DUE  BUOYS FOR THE MOORING FIELDS, YOU INC INCREASE THE MOORING FIELDS -- 
          >> SOMETHING ELSE WE HAVE TO PUT IN NOW THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 
          [01:30:01]
THAT KIND OF STUFF WAS THE BOAT RAMP. 
          WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO KEEP THOSE FULLY FUNCTIONAL IF WE ACCEPTED MONEY TO PUT THEM IN IN THE FIRST PLACE. 
          WHAT'S THE LIABILITY ON THAT? IF WE DO TURN AROUND AND TAKE THE BUOYS OUT AND LET THE MOORING BALLS ARE, ARE WE ABANDONING THE PROPERTY, THEN THERE'S NO OPERATION IN IT? 
          LOT OF QUESTIONS. >> JUST CURIOUS, WITH THAT NUMBER RIGHT THERE, HOW MANY MOORINGS COULD WE REPLACE? GO TO THAT NUMBER. USE THAT AS THE NUMBER FOR THE 
          QUANTITY. >> 23, 23,000. 
          >> I THINK I WOULD HAVE TO PROBABLY KEEP $3,601 IN THE BUDGET. THAT WOULD MAKE IT A LESS THAN 
          $20,000 PURCHASE. >> YOU DO HAVE MONEY, RIGHT? MAYBE WE JUST BITE A SMALLER BITE. 
          JUST GET SOME OF THEM BACK. >> JOE, WHEN THEY PLACE THOSE ANCHORS FOR THE MOORING BALLS, DID THEY RECORD THE LOCATION SO 
          YOU CAN FINE THEM? >> YOU WOULD THINK SO. 
          YOU WOULD THINK SO. ONE OF THE DIVERS FROM JACKSONVILLE CAME OUT TO SPECIFICALLY FIND NUMBER TEN. 
          WE HAD THE EXACT GPS COORDINATES FOR IT, VERIFIED MANY TIMES FOR IT. WE KNEW IT WAS RIGHT THERE. 
          HE GOT HIS GPS OVER THE SPOT, DROPPED A LINE WITH A WEIGHT ON IT. COULDN'T FIND IT. 
          CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY WITH A PUMP TO BLOW THE SILT AND SAND OUT OF THE WAY, HE GOT TO WHERE HE WAS WAIST DEEP IN THE SILT. 
          EVERY TIME HE WOULD STOP, IT WOULD START TRACKING AGAIN. 
          HE COULDN'T FIND IT. HE TOOK A METAL DETECTOR OUT THERE AND COULDN'T FIND IT. BUT IT'S SOMEWHERE THERE. 
          ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR THIS 
          GROUP TO REALLY MAKE A TRUE -- >> COLEMAN DOES HAVE AN INTERESTING CONCEPT, IF WE USE JUST THE MONEY WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND FIX THE MONEY THAT COULD BE FIXED AT THAT COST. 
          THAT MIGHT BE A START AT LEAST. >> IF WE WENT BACK LIKE THEY WERE BEFORE WITH THE CHAINS AND STUFF, WHICH ARE PROBABLY A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE THAN THE NEW DESIGN, HOW MANY CAN WE DO? 
          >> I'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT. >> INITIALLY THEY WERE $2800 APIECE WHEN THEY WERE INSTALLED 15 YEARS AGO. 
          >> THOSE MOORINGS ARE CLOSE TO NEW ISLAND, WHATEVER IT IS. 
          SINCE WE CAN'T USE THEM ANYWAY. ASK IF YOU CAN TAKE THAT OFF THE EQUATION. HOPEFULLY THE MATH MIGHT WORK OUT FOR THE REMAINING BUOYS. MAYBE THAT'S BETTER. 
          >> SHALL I BRING THIS AS AN OLD ITEM AND BRING IT BACK NEXT 
          MEETING? >> YOU'LL HAVE TO. 
          PLEASE GIVE US AN ESTIMATE ON WHAT THE INCOME WOULD BE. 
          >> JOE, CAN YOU PUT THE MOORING DELINEATING BUOYS OUT THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE 78 BUOYS? THEY WON'T ALLOW THAT? 
          >> SAME WAY THEY'VE ALREADY DECIDED THIS IS THE PINPOINT ACCURACY OF WHERE THIS IS ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM, PERIMETER BUOY C WILL BE AT THIS GPS COORDINATE. 
          THAT'S HOW THEY IDENTIFY A PIECE OF LAND. 
          >> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. >> WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE BUOYS ON THE WHOLE TERRITORY. WE'D HAVE TO HAVE A NEW LEASE 
          FOR THE WHOLE THING. >> THE DIRECTION I'M HEARING IS GET MORE INFORMATION AND PURSUE SEEING WHETHER OR NOT THIS COULD BE JUST A MARINA FUNDED -- MONEY DEDICATED TO THE MOORING. 
          ONLY INCOME FROM THE MOORING CAN ONLY BE USED IN THE MOORING FIELD. I'LL BE MORE THAN GLAD TO DO 
          THAT. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> SOMEONE HAD A QUESTION? >> I BELIEVE NEXT STEP WOULD BE 
          TO GO TO THE 72 MOORINGS. >> YEAH. 
          INITIALLY $8,000 DESK TOPS. ST. AUGUSTINE. 
          THEY DID COME UP. THEY DID DO THEIR STUDY. 
          DOING THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND REPLACING CHAINS, EVERY CHAIN WAS BEING REPLACED EVERY OTHER YEAR. 
          WE DID NINE AT A TIME FROM THE SHACKLE ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. 
          TOOK THE BUOY OUT, CLEANED IT, PUT IT BACK IN THE WATER, EVERY OTHER YEAR. THREE YEARS AGO WE SHUT DOWN THE MARINA, TOOK ALL OF THE TACKLE OFF THE MOORING BOTTLES. 
          IT MADE NO SENSE TO MAINTAIN SOMETHING THAT WE WEREN'T GOING 
          TO USE. >> CAN YOU ASK -- 
          [01:35:06]
FINED MONEY FOR THE MOORING FIELD, IS THAT CORRECT? 
          >> YOU'RE TALKING FOR THIS LITTLE PIECE OR BIG PIECE? 
          >> BIG PIECE. >> THAT'S GOING TO BE A CITY DECISION. AT ONE TIME THERE WAS A DEDICATED -- THIS IS WHERE WE'RE HEADED. 
          WITH THE FINE, WITH THE MARINA, DOING 50 FOOT SECTIONS EACH YEAR. WE HAD A PLAN IN PLACE. 
          BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE WAS THIS MONEY SITTING HERE FOR THE 72 BALLS. MARINA GOT HIT WITH A HURRICANE. 
          PRIORITIES CHANGED REAL QUICK. AT THIS TIME WE HAVE A MOORING FIELD. WE HAVE DOCKS TWO AND THREE. 
          WE HAVE BATHROOM BUILDING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. 
          WE HAVE A WELCOME CENTER THAT NEEDS TO BE REDONE. 
          THERE'S JUST SO MANY THINGS, THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I'D ASK A CITY MANAGER IN AN E-MAIL. I NEED DIRECTION. 
          WHICH WAY DO YOU WANT US TO GO ON THIS? WHICH WAY DO YOU WANT US TO GO ON THIS. 
          WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MEETING WITH HIM SOON TO GET THAT DIRECTION. WE HAVE TO HAVE EVERYBODY TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION BEFORE MARCH. 
          >> THAT'S HAPPENING QUICKLY. THERE'S $200,000 THAT'S 
          AVAILABLE FOR A FINE. >> WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR. THEY DON'T JUST THROW US 
          $200,000. >> THEY WANT US TO PROVE WHY WE NEED IT, HOW WE'RE GOING TO USE IT, HOW IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT 
          THE BOATING COMMUNITY. >> WE HAVE TO PRIORITIZE. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT. 
          >> SOMEBODY HAS TO PRIORITIZE WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO GOING FORWARD. WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE MOORING BALLS. THE MOORING FIELD AND THE BATHROOM AS A JOINT PROJECT BEFORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE ELEVATION. COMMISSIONER, THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT FOR ME. THE IDEA BEING THERE'S FOUR BATHROOMS. 72 BALLS THAT ON THE NIGHT THEY'RE PULLED WILL BE OVER 150 PEOPLE WAITING FOR FOUR BATHROOMS. SO WE WERE GOING TO TRIPLE, DOUBLE THE BATHROOMS. BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT. 
          SO IF YOU DO THE BATHROOMS BEFORE THE MOORING FIELD? DO YOU DO THE MOORING FIELD AND NOT HAVE THE BATHROOMS? THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I NEED SOME PURPOSEFUL DIRECTION OF WHERE THE CITY WANTS US TO GO. 
          >> I THINK WE'LL DIRECT THEM TO THE CITY REST ROOMS. 
          DO THEY HAVE SHOWERS THERE? >> THEY DON'T HAVE SHOWERS. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE PRIVACY. >> SO I THINK WHAT I CAN SEE TONIGHT IS THE BOARD NEEDS TO HAVE, BASICALLY, A WISH LIST FOR WHAT WOULD COMPLETE THE MARINA IN ITS TOTALITY. 
          MOORING FIELD, BATHROOMS, REPAIRS TO DOCKS 2 AND 3. 
          THOSE ARE THE BIG ONES. WE'VE ALREADY COMMITTED TO THE CONTINUATOR. THEN WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THOSE EXPECTED COSTS WILL BE. THEN PRIORITIZE THEM. 
          SO THE WISH LIST, THE COST AND THEN INCOME FROM THOSE. 
          THEN THE WISH LIST. MAYBE WE CAN HAVE THEM BY NEXT MEETING. YOU AND I CAN PROBABLY EVEN SIT DOWN AND MAKE THAT LIST PRETTY QUICKLY. 
          >> SOME OF THAT STUFF TO 2 AND 3, CAN'T THAT SOMEHOW BE INCORPORATED INTO THE OPERATIONAL BUDGET? 2 AND 3? SOME OF THAT DEFERRED MAINTENANCE NEEDS REALLY QUICK ATTENTION. 
          LIKE YOU WERE MENTIONING THAT. >> YEP. 
          >> THAT WAS KIND OF ON MY LIST. >> MAYBE IT'S NOT SO MUCH CAPITAL LONG RANGE. PEOPLE CAN PUSH THAT FORWARD 
          SOONER THAN LATER. >> JOE, YOU'VE DONE SOME OF THE WORK, SOME ESTIMATES ON SCREWS AND BOLTS. 
          >> I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING ON 7.1. NOW I'M TALKING ABOUT 7.2 WHICH WAS REPAIRS TO NORTH 2 AND 3 AS THEY'RE BEING REFERRED TO NOW. 
          MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN -- WE HAVE BEEN DOING MAINTENANCE ON IT. 
          WE HAVE BEEN REPLACING THE RUB RAIL, WHALERS. 
          WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE THE RUST. 
          THEY'RE RUSTED SHUT. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T DISTURB THEM, THEY'LL STAY THAT WAY. WE'VE HAD THE CITY COME OUT WITH THEIR WELDERS TO CUT THE BOLTS OFF THE ONES WE NEEDED TO MOVE AND THEY CAUGHT THE DOCK ON FIRE. 
          WE'VE HAD OTHER PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY BELLINGHAM COME OUT TO DO WORK. NOW WHERE WE ARE, IT'S QUESTIONABLE. I DID GO OUT AND I GOT TWO PRICES FROM TWO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES. 
          THE PRICE WAS RIGHT AROUND $50,000 TO $60,000 PER DOCK TO 
          [01:40:02]
TAKE ALL OF IT OFF, PUT THE THROUGH RODS IN, NEW EVERYTHING, ALL THE WAY DOWN, OTHER THAN THE ACCESSORIES. 
          JUST THE PHYSICAL DOCK ITSELF. NOW YOU'RE TALKING ANOTHER $100,000, $120,000. IF WE WERE TO DO EVERY WAILER, EVERY THROUGH BALL, EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE DOCK WE'RE NOT EVEN USING, BUT WE WOULD USE THE WHOLE THING. 
          THAT'S, AGAIN, MORE THAN I CAN SPEND. 
          WHEN I ASKED THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT THAT, THEY SAY GO BACK FOR A RECOMMENDATION. THEY EITHER RECOMMEND THAT WE ATTEMPT TO FIND FINANCING OR FUNDING FOR $150,000, $175,000 PROJECT, OR WE CONTINUE. WE'VE GOT $34,000 LEFT IN OUR REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF DOCKS AND BUILDINGS. 
          USE SOME OF THAT AND CONTINUE AND HAVE IT DONE STRATEGICALLY WHERE IT'S NEEDED AND YOU FOLKS LIVING OVER THERE WOULD BE THE ONES TO TELL US WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. 
          THE MARINA STAFF IS NOT EQUIPPED ON WELDING AND TORCHES. 
          IT COULD BE DONE FOR LESS MONEY, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU CHOOSE. 
          ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A MARINA ADVISORY BOARD CALL. 
          DO WE PATCH IT BETTER THAN IT'S PATCHED NOW? OR DO WE GO AFTER FULL REPLACEMENT OF IT? IF WE GO AFTER FULL REPLACEMENT OF IT, DO WE GO AFTER LITERALLY REPLACING IT? I'M LOOKING FOR DIRECTION FROM Y'ALL SO WE CAN PASS THAT TO THE CITY MANAGER, ALSO. 
          >> SO WE'RE TABLING THE MOORING FIELD SO WE CAN MOVE ON? 
          >> I THINK SO. >> I GOT MY DIRECTIONS TO GET YOU A WHOLE LOT MORE INFORMATION SO WE CAN MAKE AN INTELLIGENT 
          DECISION. >> IN THE MEAN TIME, WE'RE ADDING THINGS TO THIS LIST THAT AREN'T ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. 
          >> CORRECT. >> BATHROOMS, WE KIND OF NEED TO 
          KNOW WHERE WE STAND WITH THAT. >> OKAY. 
          >> I'M JUST THROWING THESE THINGS OUT TONIGHT. 
          >> IF THINGS WE'RE DOING, IT'S REALLY GOING TO TAKE A MEETING TO FIND OUT WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE IN THERE. 
          IF IT WAS REPURPOSED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THAT'S LOCKED AND NO ONE CAN GET TO THE 19/20 FUNDS, THAT'S A MOOT POINT. 
          IT'S LOCKED UNTIL NEXT YEAR. IF IT'S SPECIFICALLY ATTACHED TO A PROJECT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE APPROVED NEXT YEAR, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. I SUBMITTED THE GRANT TO DO THIS. IT CAME BACK AND THE WHOLE THING CHANGED. SO I GUESS I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO TELL ME HOW TO DO IT. I'M JUST ASKING YOU WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO. REPAIR, MASSIVE OR PURSUE REPLACING? WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK? 
          >> LET'S TABLE THE MOORING FIELD FOR TONIGHT. 
          >> I AGREE. >> WE WILL HAVE A DISCUSSION BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT MEETING ON GETTING SOME ESTIMATES ON 
          DOCKS 2 AND 3. >> I HAVE GOT THOSE. 
          >> WHETHER TO BE REPAIRED OR TOTAL REPLACED. 
          THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION HERE. >> ARE THEY USING STAINLESS 
          STEEL RODS, COMPOSITE RODS? >> COMPOSITE. 
          >> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE ONES ON DOCK 2 AND 3 ARE MUCH SMALLER IN DIAMETER. TWO-THIRDS LESS THE WEIGHT. 
          >> STILL, IT'S A MAJOR -- IF THEY WERE REPLACED EVERY YEAR, WE WOULDN'T BE LOOKING 
          INTO THIS. >> WHAT BELLINGHAM HAS SAID, YOU REPLACE THOSE, YOU GET ANOTHER 30 YEARS. 
          >> THOSE DOCKS WERE MADE FOR A LONG TIME. 
          >> IN 13/14 WE PAID BELLINGHAM $187,000 BECAUSE EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT THE NEW WAITER WAS THE PRIORITY. 
          IF IT FAILS, THE WHOLE MARINA FAIL. 
          NEXT YEAR, WE HAVE ALMOST $300,000. 
          SO TIME FOR THEM TO DO ANOTHER 110 FEET. 
          SO, WE WERE WORKING THROUGH THE MARINA REPAIRING THIS BECAUSE WE WEREN'T QUALIFIED TO DO IT. THEN THE HURRICANE CAME. 
          THINGS GOT ADJUSTED. BELLINGHAM STOPPED THAT PROJECT. 
          THEY WEREN'T GOING TO REPAIR THE DOCK OUT THERE. 
          THE MONEY WAS REAPPROPRIATED TO GETTING THE MARINA DONE. 
          SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE TO REARRANGE THE PRIORITIES OF WHICH ONES 
          NEED TO BE DONE WHEN. >> YEAH. 
          [01:45:02]
DOCK NORTH 2 AND 3 NEED MAJOR REPAIRS. 
          AND NOW THAT THEY'RE GONNA REPLACE THE NORTH DOCK, THE CONTINUATOR, IT'S TIME FOR THIS TO GET DONE. 
          YOU'VE ALREADY GOT EVERYBODY MOVING OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE. 
          WE CAN USE THE FINE GRANT MONEY TO REFIX THESE DOCKS, DOCK 2 AND 3 AND NOT WORRY ABOUT LET'S GUESS THIS MARINA FILLED UP AND FIXED. YOU'RE 80% THERE. 
          WE WALK THROUGH THAT DOCK AND I SHOWED SOME PEOPLE WHERE THE WAILERS ARE BROKE FROM THE STORM, FROM THE NORTH END WHERE PLEASURE TIES UP. THERE'S SECTION, THERE'S FOUR RODS MISSING. SO OVER 25, 30% OF THE RODS ARE GONE. I DIDN'T EVEN WALK YOUR DOCK, THAT DOCK. BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW IT IS. 
          THE WAILERS ARE BROKEN IN THERE. YOU CAN SEE THEM. 
          I TOOK A VIDEO OF IT. YOU CAN SEE THEM MOVING. 
          NOW THAT YOU HAVE EVERYBODY AT THE NORTHERN END, IF THEY CAN COME HERE AND FIX EACH SECTION WHILE EVERYBODY'S GONE AND MOVE THEM AROUND, THIS IS THE BEST TIME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. I WOULD MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ASK THE CITY COMMISSIONERS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS AND TO USE THE FINE MONEY TO REDIRECT TO FIX THE TWO DOCKS THAT NEED THE REPAIR. THEN ONCE JUNE COMES IN, YOU 
          HAVE A BRAND NEW MARINA. >> QUESTIONS. 
          STATEMENT. WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON MOVING ALL THE BOATS OUT OF THE NORTH END. BOAT OWNERS ALL SAID, WHY ARE WE HAVING TO MOVE IT? IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE FUEL DOCK IF YOU MOVE TOMMY KING AND YOU MOVE THE SAIL BOATS, THEY'VE ALREADY GONE OVER THAT LEFT TD. 
          YOU JUST DO THAT INSIDE AREA. YOU DON'T HAVE TO MOVE THE OTHER SIDE. THERE'S NO REASON TO. 
          THE MARINA IS NOT GOING TO BE EMPTY OVER THERE, BUT IT COULD BE EMPTY. SO I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT POINT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DISPLACE YOU. 
          IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING IT THAT WAY, THEN THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IS LARGE ENOUGH, IT'S HUGE. IT'S HUGE. 
          IF THE MONEY IS THERE FOR HALF OF IT, THAT'S ONE THING. 
          MY QUESTION TO YOU WOULD BE DO YOU GO BACK AND DO THAT 25% THAT'S FAILED? OR DO YOU DO WHAT WAS SUGGESTED AND REPLACE EVERY PWORT AND EVERY WHALER, EVERY ROD, EVERY 
          NUT, EVERY BOLT? >> IF WE HAVE THE MONEY, I SUGGEST YOU START AT THAT NORTH END AND WORK YOUR WAY ALL THE WAY BACK THAT 150 FEET AND DO THE SAME ON THE OTHER ONE. 
          IT'S JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE MARINA. 
          >> WE DID SPEND TEN GRAND TO GET THE ELECTRICITY RIGHT. 
          >> IT'S ALL UP TO DATE. IT DOESN'T MATTER. 
          IF YOU DON'T FIX IT, IT'S GONNA BREAK APART AND YOU'RE GONNA BE 
          IN THE WHOLE $450,000 OR MORE. >> YOUR THOUGHT WAS IF THE FINE MONEY CAN BE REPURPOSED, THE RECOMMENDATION IS FOR THIS TOTAL 
          REPAIR, REHAB TO TAKE PLACE. >> TO MOVE FORWARD WHILE THE BOATS ARE OUTTA THERE NOW SO IT DOESN'T CAUSE PROBLEMS LATER ON. 
          'CAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY HAVING TO MOVE IT. 
          >> I THINK GET IT ALL DONE. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PENNY WISE AND THEN HAVE PARTS OF IT FIXED AND NOT. 
          LET'S GET IT DONE. >> AND HAVE RICHARD COME UP WITH A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM TO TIGHTEN UP EVERY ONE OF THOSE RODS 
          PERIODICALLY. >> HE'S HRR SET THAT UP WITH THE MANUFACTURERS FOR DOCKS 2, 3 AND 1 ON THE SOUTH SIDE. 
          HE'S ALREADY GOT THE SCHEDULE IN PLACE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, WHERE THE WEAK SPOTS ARE ON THE INSTALLATION. 
          >> THAT CONTINUOUS MAINTENANCE GOING ON. 
          THAT WAY THE MARINA PEOPLE ARE COVERED, CITIZENS ARE COVERED AND WE HAVE A GOOD WORKING MARINA UNLESS GOOD LORD DECIDES TO THROW US A STORM. AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT 
          THAT BUT RIDE IT OUT. >> OKAY. 
          ACTUALLY SINCE IT WASN'T ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, DOCKS 2 AND 3, COULD WE MAKE A MOTION TONIGHT ON THAT? 
          I'M NOT SURE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION 
          THAT WE DO IT. >> I'M NOT SURE IF WE CAN OR 
          NOT. >> I DON'T THINK YOU CAN. 
          >> IT WASN'T ADVERTISED. >> I GUESS IF THERE'S A CONSENSUS FOR US. 
          >> WE CAN MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION. 
          COMMISSIONERS HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION ON IT. 
          >> LET'S DO IT. >> WE'RE JUST RECOMMEND. 
          WE'RE NOT MAKING A MOTION. >> I THINK THAT'S A CONSENSUS. 
          >> OKAY. WE'LL HAVE A CONSENSUS THEN. 
          WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THEN? 
          [01:50:02]
          >> YES. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A CONSENSUS WE FIX DOCK NORTH 2 AND 3 AND TRY TO GET THE FINE MONEY, WHICH YOU NEED DIRECTION FOR THAT MONEY TO GO TO REPAIR. 
          LET'S DO IT WHILE WE HAVE THE BOATS IN THE NORTH DOCK. 
          >> I'LL SECOND THAT. >> ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ANYONE ELSE CARE TO CHIME IN HERE? ALL RIGHT. LET'S CALL FOR THE VOTE. 
          GET A VOTE ON THIS. >> JOE BLANCHARD. 
          >> AYE. >> ALLEN MILL. 
          >> AYE. >> TERRY LACOSS. 
          >> AYE. >> SCOTT STEWART. 
          >> YES. >> COLEMAN LANGSHAW? 
          >> YES. >> UNANIMOUS. 
          >> IT'S A CONSENSUS. >> IT'S A RECOMMENDATION. 
          >> AND THE MOORING FIELD WILL BE NEXT MEETING, OLD BUSINESS. 
          >> CORRECT. >> MOORING FIELD AND THE 
          BATHROOMS. >> BATHROOMS WE STILL HAVE TO FIND OUT MORE. THAT'S MORE DEBATE. 
          >> WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING IT BACK ON THE AGENDA, IF WE RENAME IT AS FUTURE PRIORITIES OF PROJECT, THAT WAY THEY CAN ALL BE LISTED SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE DOING BY THE TIME WE HAVE OUR NEXT MEETING, I WOULD HAVE ALREADY MET WITH THE GRANTS ADMINISTRATOR AND THE CITY MANAGER TO SEE IF THEY AGREE THAT THEY MAY PUT IT IN THIS FASHION, DO IT IN THIS FORM, THIS SEQUENCE. WE FIND OUT FROM THEM WHAT WE CAN DO. IF WE TAKE A LOT OF MONEY OF THE MONEY THAT'S THERE WHEN WE HAVE LESS MONEY FOR OTHER THING. 
          ONCE AGAIN, LOTS OF MOVING PARTS. 
          >> WE'LL ADD THAT TO NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA. 
          ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? SO THE NEXT BIT OF BUSINESS IS THE NEXT MEETING. 
          AM I MISSING SOMETHING? >> 8.1. 
          [Item 8.1]
I THINK SCOTT WANTED THIS TO GO INTO OLD BUSINESS. 
          >> WE ALREADY DID THAT. >> WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THAT. 
          5.4. WE CHOSE TO HOLD OFF UNTIL 
          AFTER. >> BUT YOU ALWAYS WANT THEM. 
          >> I WANT UPDATES ON A MONTHLY BASIS. 
          I WANT TO IT BE ON THE DISCUSSION UNTIL WE SEE NOW WE'RE GOING TO PLAY IN WITH PARKS AND REC. 
          >> BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS. >> NOT FOR DISCUSSION TONIGHT, BUT I DO WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON THE WEBSITE. 
          WE REALLY, I THINK THEY NEED -- I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT OR STARTING TO, BUT BOTH THE WEBSITES, THE CITY AND WEST TRACK ARE WOEFULLY, I GUESS, OUT OF DATE. 
          AT LEAST FROM MY USE. I KNOW WE'VE WORKED THROUGH IT A LITTLE BIT. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU. HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THEM? 
          >> I HAVEN'T. >> COLEMAN, PAUL, YOUR DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT, BUT ALSO COMMISSIONER ROSS POINTED OUT THAT WE WERE SHOWING A BOAT RAMP THAT WAS CLOSED. 
          I WENT ON AND TOOK THE CITY ONE, WHICH IS LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T DO AND UPDATE WITNESS THE STATUS OF WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH ALL OF THE THINGS, WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. 
          IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION, GO OUT TO THE WEST TRACK WEBSITE. 
          WENT AHEAD AND UPDATED THE MEET THE STAFF. 
          WE'VE GOT THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY WORK THERE AND HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM. I DID THAT PART. 
          >> HIT THE WEBSITE AND GO FROM THAT THING TO WEST TRACK. 
          >> THE LINK. >> FROM THERE TO THIS LINK. 
          THIS TAKES YOU BACK INTO THE FERNANDINA HARBOR ONE WHICH STILL SHOWS AN OLD DOCK. STILL SHOWS, THAT'S THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL ITSELF. AS WE MOVE ALONG WITH DIFFERENT ONES, THIS ONE SAID AT THE TOP BORDER ON EVERY ONE. 
          MOORING FIELD CLOSED, THIS CLOSED, THAT CLOSED. 
          IT'S BEEN EDITED TO SHOW THAT IT IS OPEN. 
          MOORING FIELD AND DOCK WILL OPEN LATER IN THE YEAR. 
          SOME QUESTIONED WHY AREN'T THE RATES THERE? SAME ONES ARE ON THERE. WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED THE BACKGROUND PICTURE FROM WHAT WAS THERE AND PUT THIS ONE IN. 
          WHENEVER ANYONE IS COMING TO THE WEBSITE, THEY'LL KNOW WHERE THEY CAN GO. WE GOT TO THAT ONE, MARINA PICTURES POINTS THEM TO FACEBOOK AND THE MARINA LAYOUT. 
          NOW YOU'RE JOHN Q CUSTOMER CALLING IN ASKING THE QUESTION, GO TO THE WEBSITE, YOU'LL SEE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. 
          SEE WHERE NORTH IS? YOU WILL BE ON THE LEFT SIDE ABOUT HALF THE WAY DOWN. WHERE DO YOU HAVE THE END? WHERE'S YOUR DAY DOCK? IT COULD BE HERE, THERE, DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER. ALL KINDS OF THINGS TO PUT THAT 
          [01:55:03]
BACK IN PLACE TO WHERE IT WAS. STAFF, WE ALREADY DID THAT ONE ON THIS ONE. NEWS AND EVENTS. 
          THIS IS A BLOCK BASE THAT WE'RE USING. 
          AND THE HEADING. WE ARE OPEN. 
          REPAIR COMPLETE. WE'RE READY TO GO. 
          WEATHER STATION. THAT WAS A PRODUCT BEFORE, TOO. 
          WEATHER STATION TAKES YOU TO THE HURRICANE CENTER AND A FEW OTHER PLACES. ON THIS. 
          THIS IS THE ONE THING. AS SIMPLE AS IT IS, A FREE THING I PUT IN HERE THAT WHENEVER ANYONE CALLS ABOUT ANYTHING, MOST ARE SAYING, DON'T YOU HAVE A FORM? CAN I DO THAT ONLINE? WE DO. 
          WHAT'S THE REQUEST FOR? RESERVATIONS, WAITING LIST. 
          INSTEAD OF SPELLING YOUR NAME WRONG, GETTING YOUR NAME WRONG, GO TO THE WEBSITE, TELL US WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. 
          BOAT, WHATEVER KIND OF BOAT IT IS, SAIL, RECREATIONAL. 
          WHEN DO YOU WANT TO COME? WHEN DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE? BY THE WAY, COULD YOU PUT THOSE COMMENTS IN THERE THAT YOU WANT TO STAY THREE EXTRA DAYS IF THE WEATHER IS NICE. 
          YOU WANT TO COME IN FOR SHRIMP FESTIVAL IF IT'S AVAILABLE. 
          THAT DROPS DOWN TO ME. WE GET TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE EVERY ONE OF THESE REQUESTS HAVE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AND ANSWERED. 
          ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT PRETTY STUFF, DO IT IN PHASES. 
          JUST GOING BACK AND FORTH. HERE'S ALLEN'S BOAT, HERE'S THE SUNSET. FOR NOW, LET'S GET SOMETHING UP THERE THAT REPRESENTS WHAT WE REALLY ARE. 
          WHEN THEY COME DOWN, ARE THERE ANY RESTAURANTS? LET'S FIND OUT IF THERE'S ANY RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA. 
          ARE THERE ANY RESTAURANTS? 20 GREAT RESTAURANTS ALL WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. I MEAN, I TOOK TIME BECAUSE I HAD TO. I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS ACCESS TO EDIT IT, SO IT WAS DEFINITELY MY RESPONSIBILITY. 
          SO I JUST WENT PAGE BY PAGE, LINK BY LINK, EVERYTHING I COULD POSSIBLY FIND. I TURNED AROUND AND SAID, OKAY, IF I WANTED TO FIND FAULT WITH THIS, WHERE WOULD I GO? I STARTED LOOKING AT THAT ALSO. I SPENT MORE TIME ON THAT THAN THE WEST TRACK. I THINK WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB 
          IN HOUSE OURSELVES. >> THAT'S A WRAP. 
          >> THE CITY'S WEBSITE NEEDS UPDATED. 
          >> THAT'S WHERE LOT OF PEOPLE WILL GO THERE FIRST. 
          ALSO, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ARE -- TYPE IN FOR ME. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID, JEFF IS A MEDIA GUY. HE DOES THIS KIND OF STUFF. 
          HE DID IT BEFORE WITH ANOTHER JOB. 
          WE'VE REALLY HAD JEFF DOWN THERE TAKING PICTURES OF EVERYTHING GOING ON SO PEOPLE CAN GET THE FEEL FOR IT AGAIN WHERE IT MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE SLOW BEFORE. LIKE THIS ONE HERE. 
          ONE LAST NIGHT. MARINA WILL START TO SEE WAITING LIST CUSTOMERS TOMORROW MORNING. THAT WAS THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK. 
          FRIDAY, THIS WAS THE FIRST COUPLE THAT CAME IN. 
          WE'RE NOT TRYING TO SATURATE THROUGH FACEBOOK BUT I HAVE ASKED HIM EVERY THREE DAYS TO PUT SOMETHING UP, IF THERE'S 
          SOMETHING WORTH PUTTING UP. >> LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING ON THAT. WHAT'S YOUR HASH TAG? 
          >> DON'T HAVE ONE. >> NEED TO GET ONE. 
          ANYTHING WITH HASH TAG FERNANDINA MARINA WILL COME UP. 
          WE NEED A HASH TAG. >> HELP ME OUT. 
          >> I HAVE A QUESTION, TOO. WHAT WOULD BE THE POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING ADVERTISING ON THAT FOR THE DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS? 
          >> IF YOU START PUTTING ADVERTISING ON THERE YOU GET INTO A STICKY AREA, IN MY OPINION, WHERE I'D HAVE TO GET DIRECTION. I DON'T THINK THE CITY WANTS ANYONE SELLING ADS ON THEIR WEBSITE BECAUSE IT'S A CITY MUNICIPAL WEBSITE. IF YOU COME BACK TO THE WEST TRACK ONE, IF WE'RE SELLING ADVERTISING ON OUR WEBSITE, WHO'S GONNA POCKET THAT MONEY? WEST TRACK WHO PUT THE MONEY INTO DOING IT, OR THE CITY? THEIR I.T. DEPARTMENT GONNA MAINTAIN IT? THAT'S ONE OF THOSE, I NEED TO 
          PUSH SO MANY PEDALS. >> IF NOTHING ELSE JUST PUT 
          LINKS TO THEIR WEBSITES. >> ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING AS WE'RE REDOING THE WEST TRACK WEBSITE, WHEN IT COMES TO THAT MAP OF WHAT IT IS, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LISTING FOR EVERY ONE OF THESE GUYS THAT'S PAYING THIS MONEY SO THEY GET FREE ADVERTISEMENT IN THE RATE THEY'RE PAYING FOR THEIR SLIPS. 
          ALL OF THE CAPTAINS THAT ARE ADVERTISED THERE, THEY'VE 
          [02:00:03]
ALREADY GIVEN US EVERY PIECE OF PAPERWORK WE HAVE TO HAVE SO THAT LIST WILL ACT TWO FOLD WHENEVER A NEW CREW COMES INTO TOWN AND WANTS TO TAKE ALL THE MONEY FROM THESE GUYS THEY GO TO THE WEST TRACK WEBSITE. HERE'S THE LIST, QUALIFIED VESSELS. BECAUSE YOU GET OUT, PUT THE LIST RIGHT THERE. THIS CAPTAIN HAS PROVIDED AND HAS DONE THIS, DONE THAT. LAST THING, IF YOUR CAPTAIN'S NOT ON THIS LIST, WHY ARE YOU EVEN SAILING WITH THEM, EVEN TRAVELING WITH THEM? SOMETHING DOWN THAT LINE. 
          IF I START PUTTING RESTAURANTS ON THERE, I'M NOT READY TO DO THAT. NOT UNLESS WE HAD A FULL TIME MARKETING PERSON THAT WAS DOING NOTHING BUT GENERATING MONEY FOR 
          THE MARKETING. >> I'M JUST TRYING TO COME UP WITH OTHER WAYS. WE'RE PUTTING MONEY OUT FOR THE WEBSITE, FOR WI-FI ACCESS AND ALL THAT. 
          THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME WAY TO RECOUPE SOME OF THAT. 
          >> I'M NOT GONNA ARGUE WITH YOU. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THAT WE CAN DO. WE'VE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME AT TIMES TO BE DOING ALL THE THINGS WE SHOULD BE DOING. 
          I'M NOT WILLING TO DEDICATE ANY OTHER PEOPLE, OTHER THAN WHAT JEFF IS DOING. ADDING A HASH TAG TO IT. 
          TAKE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. IF THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG, TELL ME. IF I CAN FIX IT, I WILL. 
          ALL OF THE LEADING TRADES HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN OUT THERE WITH THAT PICTURE ON THERE. HAD THE FERNANDINA HARBOR MARINA LOGO ON IT. WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT IT BECAUSE THE DATE OF WHEN WE'RE OPENING CHANGED SO MANY TIMES. 
          IT WAS MARCH 1ST. DOWN IN FT. LAUDERDALE WHEN I WAS THERE, WE HAD A POW WOW. THAT WAS THE DATE WE CHOSE TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT. IT WAS GOING TO BE FEBRUARY 1ST. 
          THIS IS A SOFT OPENING. MARCH 1ST. 
          I HAVE GOT TO LOOK AT THE CALENDAR TO FIND OUT. 
          BEGINNING OF MARCH IS WHEN WE REALLY WANT TO HAVE IT. 
          >> YOU CAN ALSO POST ON THE WEBSITE, LIKE THE GUEST THAT COMES IN FISHING WITH CAPTAIN ALLEN. 
          THEY WENT TO THE MARINA RESTAURANT, HAS THE BEST SHRIMP THEY'VE EVER HAD. THEY CAN POST IT UP THERE. 
          >> WE'VE HAD ABILITY TO PUT THE COMMENTS THERE. 
          THERE'S 16 COMMENTS RIGHT THERE. >> WE'LL SHARE THAT ONE. 
          WHO KNOWS HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE? FIVE AND NINE. 
          NOW THEY'RE GETTING READY FOR THE SHRIMP DROP. 
          SOME OF THEM HAVE DONE WELL. SOME OF THEM DIDN'T. 
          LIKE HE WAS MOVING IT OFF THE RAMP. 
          SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON, SOMETHING WE'RE GETTING BETTER AT. WE'LL KEEP GOING. 
          >> GO AHEAD, ALLEN. >> PAST THING. 
          I TALKED TO RICH AND ASKED HIM ABOUT FISH CLEAN AT THE MARINA. 
          HE SAID THERE'S SOMETHING WEST REC WAS SAYING THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT DISPOSING OF FISH IN THE WATER. 
          >> WHAT CAME UP IN THAT CONVERSATION WAS, CAN WE PUT BOXES AND FISH CLEANING TABLES ON THE NEW DOCK? I CALLED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER KRE SENT WHO PUT IN THE TREX DOCK, 2 AND 3 ON THE OUTSIDE ONE. 
          ANYWAY, HE GOT BACK TO ME AND TOLD ME HOW THEY COULD BE BOLTED DOWN IF WE CHOSE ONE THAT WASN'T TOO MUCH WEIGHT. 
          WHEN IT COMES TO THE FISH TABLE THRRBG HAVE BEEN MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT. THEY WERE CURIOUS WHY IF EVERY MARINA IN SOUTH FLORIDA HAS TO HAVE A MACERATOR, WHY DIDN'T WE? I HAD THIS CONVERSATION ONCE BEFORE WITH THEM BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT ONE OF THE OTHERS DISPOSE OF THEIR CARCASSAS. 
          HE SHOWED ME THE LETTER TO GO WITH IT THAT SAID WHY HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT. I TOLD MY BOSSES ABILITY THAT. 
          HE SAID LOOK INTO IT AGAIN. WE FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE SOUTH 
          [02:05:01]
FLORIDA, NO ONE CAN DO WHAT YOU'RE DOING EVERY DAY. 
          I HAVE GOTTEN THE CALL RETURN. I CAN FOLLOW UP ON IT TOMORROW, THIS WEEK. IT'S MY OPINION THAT IF IT IS A FREE MOVING BODY OF WATER, WATER IS MOVING BACK AND FORTH, THAT STUFF DOESN'T SIT THERE LONG AT ALL. 
          I SEE NO PROBLEMS WITH NOT HAVING THE MACERATOR. 
          I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE DOCK BOX. 
          THE ONE YOU HAVE IS PERFECT. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIND IT. 
          WE'LL WORK THAT ONE UP. THE CLEANING TABLES, THAT HAS NOT BEEN DECIDED. WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO PUT ALL OF THE CLEANING TABLES DOWN AND MAKE EVERYONE COME IN AN CLEAN FROM THAT LOCATION, OR DO WE ALLOW CLEANING STATION DOWN THE DOCK? MY OPINION ON THAT ONE, WHAT DO WE HAVE, TEN BOATS THAT FISH, MAYBE 12? AS LONG AS THEY WERE DONE PROPERLY WITH THE SAME TABLE, SO EVERYONE LOOKS CONSISTENT, I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM WITH IT. 
          WE'VE GOT A BOAT. WE'VE GOT TEN PEOPLE. 
          THAT'S WHERE THE CLEANING TABLES WOULD GO. 
          >> GETTING BACK TO IT, YOU CANNOT THROW ANYTHING IN THE WATER EXCEPT FOR -- ONLY EXCEPTION IS FOR FISH CLEANING. 
          ONLY REASON THAT RICHARD HAD TO TAKE OUT, HAD THE AMELIA ISLAND MARINA IS BECAUSE IT ISN'T OPEN FLOWING. 
          WE HAVE AN OPEN FLOWING MARINA AND IT SELF-CLEANS. 
          >> I AGREE. >> AS A DOCK BOX AND FISH CLEANER TABLE, IF YOU DON'T GO ANY WIDER OUT THAN THE PILINGS ARE, AND THAT'S 26 OR 27 INCHES SO IT DOESN'T GET IN THE MIDDLE AND KEEP THAT WIDE OPEN, I THINK THAT IT'S A BETTER SAFE WALKING WAY AND EVERYTHING ELSE. DON'T HAVE DOCK CARTS SITTING THERE. NOTHING SHOULD EXCEED WHAT THE PILINGS ARE SO THAT'S OPEN. BECAUSE WE LOST A FOOT AND A HALF WITH THESE NEW DOCKS OF WIDTH. 
          >> WHEN SCOTT BROUGHT IT DOWN, IT WAS TO -- 
          >> THIS IS 22 INCHES FROM FRONT AND BACK. 
          >> THE PILING AREAS ARE 26 TO 28 INCHES. 
          >> IF YOU TAKE THE FIRE STANDS AND THE REST YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH ROOM TO DO IT. IT'S NOT A TRIP HAZARD. 
          IT'S JUST UP TO THE BOATS TO MAINTAIN. 
          THE THING I'M GOING TO PURSUE IS THIS IS THE SIZE OF THE DOCK BOX. I DON'T CARE IF YOURS IS 3 INCHES BIGGER OR TALLER. THIS IS THE SIZE YOU HAVE TO USE SO WE HAVE UNIFORMITY UP AND DOWN THE DOCK. 
          IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A FISH CLEANING STATION, THIS IS THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THE ONE WE APPROVE. 
          WE WANT THE ONES THAT WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON THEM, THEY'RE OVER THE WATER SO EVERYTHING IS GOING OUT, NOT STRAIGHT DOWN ON THE DOCK. AGAIN, UNIFORMITY. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN WORK WITH YOU GUYS. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED. I DON'T WANT TO GET YOU A FISH TABLE THAT'S THIS BIG THAT'S UNIFORM BUT DOESN'T WORK. 
          I HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF ALLOWING THE DOCK BOXES AND FISH CLEANING STATIONS ONCE THE DEP SENDS ME AN E-MAIL THAT IT IS OKAY TO DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID. 
          >> I ALSO SENT OUT AN E-MAIL TO LOOK INTO IT. 
          I SENT HER, I THOUGHT I HAD AN EXTRA ONE FOR YOU WITH THE MODEL 
          AND REGULATION. >> CAN I THROW ONE LAST THING ABOUT FISH CLEANING? NOT SAYING THIS AS A FISHERMAN BUT A SAILOR. MOST OF YOU GUYS ARE PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT, BUT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE, FISH SCALES OUT THERE AND PART OF FISH CAR CUSSES. 
          JUST SPREAD IT TO YOUR BUDDIES. NOT YOU GUYS, BUT YOUR BUDDIES, THERE'S A FISH CLEANING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REST OF US AND WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE NICE CLEAN AFTER CLEANING LOCATIONS ON THE DOCK. 'CAUSE IT'S BEEN AT TIMES DIFFERENT PLACES IT'S NASTY AND WE TRACK THE BIRDS, OUR GUESTS DON'T LIKE IT. IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE THESE FISH CLEANING TABLES, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S STRICT ENFORCEMENT 
          OF KEEPING THESE THINGS NEAT. >> WHAT WE SAW BEFORE, WHEN WE WENT WITH THE ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR THE FOLKS THAT WEREN'T LIVING HERE, FOLKS THAT WEREN'T BRINGING THEIR CUSTOMERS DOWN THE DOCK, IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE ANOTHER BOAT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S TABLE CLEANING SOMETHING. BECAUSE IT WAS OKAY, HE SAID IT WAS ALL RIGHT. IT'S NOT ALL RIGHT. 
          THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE THE SLIP, DON'T HAVE THEIR CLEANING TABLE, WILL HAVE NO REASON TO USE ANYBODY ELSE'S. 
          THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WILL PUT DOWN ON THE DEED, WHERE THEY'RE TYING UP. TWO WATER SPIGOTS. 
          LET THEM DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. THAT WILL BE THEIR CUSTOMERS 
          RESPONSIBILITY. >> OKAY. 
          I HAD TO SAY IT BECAUSE IT'S JUST NASTY. 
          >> IT'S CRUNCHY. >> JOE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? 
          [02:10:03]
          >> ARE WE GOING TO MAKE IT A POLICY IN THE MARINA THAT ALL CHARTER FISHING BOATS HAVE TO BE COAST GUARD INSPECTED SO THAT THEY'RE WEARING STICKERS AND YOU KNOW EVERYTHING THEY DO IS 
          RIGHT? >> JOE, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SAY THEY HAVE TO. I WOULD HAVE TO FIND SOME RULE THAT SAYS THEY HAVE TO FOR ME OR THE CITY TO JUMP OUT AND SAY YOU WILL BECAUSE WE SAY SO. I'M NOT WELL VERSED TO SAY IT. 
          AS FAR AS HAVING A WEEK WHERE THEY CAN DO THIS THING AND ADVERTISE IT IN THE BUILDING AND EVERYTHING, THAT THE COAST GUARD WILL BE ON SITE TO DO THESE INSPECTIONS. 
          HOWEVER MANY WANT TO SIGN UP, SIGN UP. 
          LET'S SEE WHERE IT GOES. IF IT'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT COULD BE ADDED TO THEIR LIST OF CREDENTIALS. 
          >> YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SYSTEM SET UP WHERE EVERYBODY IS BEING UNDER DRUG INSPECTIONS. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE A BRIEF TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME ABOARD FOR YOUR BOAT. 
          YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO THEM ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE LIFE JACKETS. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE STUFF REQUIRED BY THE COAST GUARD TO OPERATE A CHARTER BOAT. IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH PEOPLE COMING IN THE MARINA AND RUNNING A BUSINESS WHEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE A COMMERCIAL LICENSE. 
          NONE OF THIS WAS HANDLED. IT WAS A HOBBY. 
          TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM THOSE -- >> I AGREE WITH JOE. 
          I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. I THINK WE SHOULD. 
          IF YOU'RE GONNA WORK OUT OF THERE, YOU SHOULD BE DOING IT 
          PROFESSIONALLY. >> WE REQUIRE THE CAPTAIN'S LICENSE, THE INSURANCE. WE HAVE THE CITY OF FERNANDINA AND ALL THE HOTELS, POLICY HOLDERS, CERTIFICATE HOLDERS ON OUR POLICY. I DON'T THINK IT'S A REQUIREMENT BY THE COAST GUARD OR BY THE LICENSING AGENCY TO HAVE THIS LICENSE TO BE COAST GUARD INSPECTED, BUT WHEN YOUR CHARTER COMES DOWN THERE AND THEY SEE THAT STICKER ON YOUR BOAT, THEY FEEL SAFER. I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA, JOE. 
          >> I DO, TOO. BUT IT' NOT A REQUIREMENT. 
          >> I'LL SEARCH A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND SEE WHAT I CAN FINE 
          OUT. >> CAN YOU SHARE THAT WITH ME? 
          >> SURE. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP AT ONE OF THESE MEETINGS WAY BACK WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PLEASURE BOAT AND WORKING BOAT IF A PLEASURE BOAT WAS GENERATING INCOME COMMERCIALLY. 
          ON ALL THE PACKETS WE HAVE FOR ALL THE BOATS COMING IN, WE HAVE A COPY OF THE REGISTRATION. IF IT SAYS PLEASURE, THEY ARE NOT A CHARTER CAPTAIN, THEY'RE A PLEASURE BOAT. 
          WE'RE NOT GOING TO INSPECT IT. YOU CAN'T TAKE TRIPS ON IT AND 
          CHARGE PEOPLE. >> SAME WITH THE LIFE JACKETS, TYPE 2 VERSUS TYPE 1. HALF THE CHARTERS HAVE TYPE 1. 
          I HAD THEM FOR YEARS. TYPE 1'S ARE LEGAL. 
          >> TYPE 1 IS THE BEST ONE. THAT'S THE HIGHEST RATING. 
          >> HAS TO HAVE A LIGHT ON IT. >> NUMBER 1 IS THE HIGHEST RATING. THAT'S THE ONE WE HAVE. 
          >> YOU COULD HAVE THE REGULAR ONE IF YOU DON'T GO OFF SHORE. 
          IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL. >> THE COAST GUARD HERE, THEY BOARD YOU AND THEY CHECK YOU. YOU'RE CHECKED TWICE. 
          THE REAL COAST GUARD DOES. THEY DON'T OFFER A STICKER. 
          THEY GIVE YOU A YELLOW PIECE OF PAPER THAT SAYS YOU PASSED OR YOU HAVE A FINE OR WHAT YOU HAVE TO GET FIXED. 
          >> IF YOU HAVE A STICKER THEY WON'T STOP YOU. 
          >> YEAH, THEY WILL. >> NEVER SEEN THEM DO IT HERE. 
          >> THEY'LL STOP YOU. THEY'RE DOING THEIR TRAINING AND 
          ALL THAT. >> THEY KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO 
          PASS. >> WHEN YOU PASS, THE PEOPLE ARE AWESOME. THEY BETTER HAVE IT TOGETHER. 
          >> NOT BEING A COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN, I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH AB WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. JOE IS GONNA GET INFORMATION AND HE'LL SHARE IT WITH ME. I DO KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS DRUG TESTING STUFF AND THAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT. 
          I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT TO BE ABLE TO OFFER ANY MORE 
          INFORMATION ON IT. >> YOU HAVE TO BE A DRUG 
          CONSORTIUM. >> THAT'S THE EASIEST WAY. 
          >> THEY CHARGE YOU X DOLLARS A YEAR. 
          [02:15:03]
          THEY USUALLY TEST YA. >> PRESCREENED BEFORE YOU'RE HIRED. YOU GO THROUGH PRESCREENING AND GET TESTED BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN HIRE A CREW MEMBER. 
          >> 48 HOURS. >> ONCE YOU GET YOUR NOTICE IN 
          THE MAIL. >> THEY'LL JUST SEND YOU A NOTICE IN THE AIR. YOU'VE GOT TO GO. 
          >> WITHIN 48 HOURS. >> IF YOU'RE THE ONLY GUY IN THE COMPANY, YOU'RE GONNA GET IT EVERY YEAR. 
          >> SUPPOSED TO BE 50% OF EMPLOYEES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE 
          SCREENED. >> YOU COULD BE A RANDOM EVERY 
          YEAR. >> AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TEST KIT ON BOARD IN CASE THERE'S AN ACCIDENT AND YOU HAVE TO TEST 
          FOR ALCOHOL. >> THOSE TEST KITS HAVE TO BE UPDATED EVERY YEAR. THEY EXPIRE EVERY YEAR. 
          >> IT'S NOT BAD IF YOU HAVE THEM THERE, THEY STILL FUNCTION. 
          >> THAT FOLLOWS UNDER INSPECTED VESSELS. 
          >> THAT'S A DIFFERENT DEAL. >> INTERESTING. 
          >> THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN COME IN AND EVERYBODY CAN PUT IT ON THERE AND YOU GOT THAT STICKER. 
          >> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH US? 
          >> MARCH. MIDDLE OF MARCH, THEY USED TO DO
