ILI <br />Director Keating noted that Grand Harbor does want to increase the number of power <br />boats being docked. <br />Mr. DeBlois commented that, if you do not allow more power boats at Grand Harbor, <br />then they will be accommodated elsewhere.. <br />Commissioner Ginn felt that existing marinas should be expanded rather than <br />allowing new marinas. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Stanbridge, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board, <br />by a 4-1 vote (Commissioner Ginn opposed) agreed <br />to remove Policy 1.15 from the Plan. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge then requested that Policy 1.2(3)(b) be copied to Policy <br />1.2(1) with the deletion of the word "or" and the insertion of the word "and". <br />Terri Calleson, Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission/Bureau of Protected <br />Species Management, environmental specialist, stated that she had worked in the County on <br />surveys of boating activity when she was a graduate student and had reviewed some of the <br />earliest drafts of the County's plan. She is now in charge of reviewing the final Plan. She <br />commended the Commission and staff for the work that has been done and emphasized that <br />the Bureau will support any strengthening of the Plan. She stated that they will be <br />recommending approval of the Plan when it is returned and the legal staff has already said <br />that the Plan will go directly to the Executive Director for his approval. She expressed their <br />appreciation and hope that the Plan will be a big protection for the manatees in the coming <br />years. <br />AUGUST 22, 2000 BK 114 PG 7 12 <br />• -86- 0 <br />
