Port Maintenance Reports:

They want to schedule a few disc golf events in conjunction with the Shelton disc golf events, they will also be making maps and signs for the course. Commissioner Booth asked B Osborne if he could get the new officers contact information. He said M Rothrock was elected as one of the officers and he is supposed to contact the port.
Hoodsport Marina, Dock & Waterfront Park – B. Osborne said the hanging flower baskets are up on the hangers and the stationary planters are full of flowers and it looks good along the waterfront park driving into Hoodsport. S Lindgren met with Doug Rogers with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife who came to Ingvold Gronvald public beach to do a grid count of oysters and clams on the port’s public beach. S. Lindgren reserved parking spaces for the crew from the Department of Fish and Wildlife It took them a few days to finish their project. Ian Tracy from Mason County Public health who oversees recreational shellfish safety removed the originals signs they posted prohibiting shellfish harvesting and will be replacing them with new shellfish signs that say shellfish can be harvested from May 1 – September 30th on the public beach with a license however they must cook the shellfish to avoid certain bacteria. S. Lindgren said there were a couple of boats over 50 feet long that were tied to the end dock, and they were rafting. He said rafting in windy weather could tear the end dock right off the marina. Commissioner Booth asked if S. Lindgren knew what type of boats the dock cleats were rated for. S Lindgren said the cleats are small so people will need smaller lines for boats that are 35’ and under. The outer edge could host a 60’ boat as long as they watch the wind and weather, they are currently using the boll works to tie their lines up to. It can handle one boat. If the boat cuts loose, the boat owners will have to watch for the shallows to the North of the public beach. S. Lindgren said they need to repair the power washer and weed eater head. B Osborne was using his own chain saw so when he leaves the Port should purchase a chain saw. B. Osborne asked NW Tree Service to remove two hazard trees that were a threat to a residential house close to the disc golf park. Ron Satterfield, Chief of the Hoodsport Fire Department charged the fire line and discovered a valve needed to be replaced on the water line. They ran pressure up from 150 psi to 190 psi and found no leaks, the valves were gummed up and do not close well, the valve at the top if the ramp was impossible to open or close under pressure. He recommended all 3 valves be cleaned and serviced. S. Lindgren said he could repair the valve. ‘No Fireworks’ signs will be posted on port property prior to the 4th of July weekend.
