He noted that when you get a little <br />further west from the channel unless you are right on the <br />beam, you run aground. <br />Community Services Director Thomas agreed that it is a <br />little tricky around the islands. He thought we should <br />start with this amount and then, after a year's trial, if it <br />is believed it is not adequate, they will come back and ask <br />for more funds. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Scurlock, to approve construction <br />of the Round Island boat ramp and channel markers <br />and authorize the staff to apply for permits and to <br />apply for funding from the Florida Boating <br />Improvement Program. <br />Commissioner Wodtke questioned constructing the dock <br />itself out of wood; he noted that concrete doesn't burn and <br />wondered about the price differential. <br />Mr. Thomas stated that the pilings are concrete and to <br />have the dock concrete also would definitely cost more. He <br />felt it could be considered as an alternative and noted that <br />we have loo for contingencies. <br />The Administrative suggested that concrete be bid as an <br />alternate, and Commissioners Lyons and Scurlock agreed to <br />include that as part of their Motion. <br />THE CHAIRb4AN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION on the <br />Motion including the addition. It was voted <br />on and carried unanimously. <br />136 <br />
