NEW BUSINESS
8
a. Burt Goodnough gave an update on the effects of completed dredging and current channel conditions. Water levels continue to be higher than usual allowing unimpeded boat travel through the channel. Dredging was conducted which widened the entrance and passageway at the entrance portion to the Pond side of the Channel. Dredging efforts at the center of the channel resulted in removed sand being replaced overnight due to channel current and wave action. Burt’s opinion and the opinion of Association volunteers is that the dredge can maintain the channel in a navigable condition throughout the dredging season. With the cooperation of boaters and jet skiers, dredging of the channel and recreational use of the Channel can occur on a simultaneous basis. (Lengthy discussion ensued between Board Members and Burt Goodnough about future dredging operations).
b. Chairman Goodnough announced that the dredging permit has been verbally approved through November 29, 2004 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with written approval to follow.
