Cranesvilles quote from last year on dredging. The association could lease the equipment for 32,000 for 2 weeks with a minimum 40 hours per week and we pay all expenses of fuel, pipe and dredge transportation, lodging for one operator and a volunteer to operate equipment. We transport piping and dredge to work site, and bring back. Greg Breslin is checking into Maryland dredge for a Dredge to lease this year.
Waggoner’s dredging, I called and left a message 3/20/09 & 4/15/09, Ralph was to come and estimate the channel to dredge, only where needed, the last quote from them was 100,000.00 in 2004, but that was to dredge the entire channel over 2200’ long.

Old Business: Status of Public Launch Ramp, Chris called from the fisheries coalition 4/23 and the money is still there, it isn’t a grant, it is a settlement fund that will be used for a public launch ramp on Sandy Pond. The money can also be used for the purchase of the property. There is still money set aside for a launch and we are awaiting a decision from the DEC as to the location of the ramp.
