Commissioner Reports:
Port Maintenance Reports:
Hoodsport Trail Park & Disc Golf Park: S Lindgren said things are going good with the clean up at the trail park, we are working on the five acres at the top of the park to see how to add an upper trail loop. We are also finding and pulling out the Himalayan blackberries and Scotch broom that are on the invasive species list. The disc golf course is open and looks good.
Hoodsport Marina, Dock & Waterfront Park: S Lindgren said we bought another pressure washer that is smaller than the one that was stolen. I also noticed the leaf blower is missing out of the shed from when they stole the pressure washer. The director said I checked with the insurance company, the Port’s deductible is $1000. Which is more than the theft claim for the equipment that was stolen. The commission authorized $400. to replace the pressure washer, the replacement was half the price. S Lindgren said I can find a blower that works good for the remainder of the approved funds. The winter storms wind and wave action has sheared off several of the bolts on the dock, which have been replaced. The seals are making a mess on the dock; we are trying to keep it clean but he’s a pooper!
Portable Restrooms: The Port of Hoodsport and Hood Canal Market Fresh share the cost of renting portable restrooms for public use. In the summer season, May–October, restrooms are serviced 3 times per week. In winter, October – April rentals are serviced twice per week. The Ports maintenance monitors them for trash and additional toilet paper as needed in between services.
Port parking/Office building/Maintenance shed: The locals continue to throw personal trash in all of the port’s public garbage cans and discard furniture and junk at the trail park parking lot, we unfortunately have to take it to the dump.
Port Directors Report:
The director said we submitted the press release to the newspaper for the updates on the hazard tree trail park clean up, as the Port appreciated the newspaper article publication, the reporter added a photo that did not depict current activities inaccurately suggesting operations were within restricted areas. We asked them to publish a correction acknowledging the error in photo selection affirming they took responsibility for the mistake. Commissioner Bly, we need a current photo to post on the Port’s website and for the Washington Public Port Associations directory and need paperwork finalized for the ports accountant. Commissioners Q1 Timesheets are due by the 20th.
