Welcome to the March 17th meeting of the Westport Landing Commission. We will start as we do with a pledge of allegiance to the flag which is over there to the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Uh Beth has a family emergency, so she will
not be here today. So, you take a couple of notes on top of your copy of the agenda. >> Yep. You have a copy of the agenda there? >> Yeah, I think I gave you one. Here's one. Here's another one. You just write on that sort of make it easier. So,
we'll move through this quickly. Hopefully, as you can tell, I've got places to be and I expect other people do, too. >> Wendy, head wall repair. Were you able to get in touch with that vendor who did such a good job for us 10 years ago
>> but didn't get back to us? >> You were not able to get in touch with him? >> No. Do you mean you mean the one that did the other wall? The east wall. >> Yeah. You all right? Yeah. >> I did not. >> Okay. Remember the name of that so we can put that in the minutes.
>> His name is David Maderas and I think his company is Russell's Mills Contracting. Okay. Did you get that down there? >> Russell's Mills. >> Yep. Great. >> I forgot all about that. >> Mhm.
>> It's all right. I didn't bug you either about it. We're all old. We need reminding. Uh, next item is I raised it last week. people have any thoughts about
the responsibility that this commission may have for landings outside the four landings that we thought and still think are definitely our responsibility any thought about that. I did bring up that issue again at the select board
meeting a few weeks ago and said that our concern over the years is that there are landings in town that nobody's watching and aren't watching carefully enough and that it's unclear is that our job their
job but it needs to be somebody's job and they seem to hear that but I'm not sure they were able to you know how quickly they will move on that or what what we want to do either. Um and you know we will have an election soon so we
will be a different body by then any we don't need to make a decision about this. I'm just wondering if people have thought about that at all. >> Well I don't think there's much personally I don't think there's much to think about if we have responsibility for it. we've got responsibility for it
>> and it's about time somebody somebody took responsibility for some of this stuff >> that might also mean a budget and in other words I think taking on these kinds of things it's more than just saying we're going to do it it's kind of getting organized
about it and stuff because at least in my experience on this board dealing with some of these issues in the past there were pretty significant lawyers employer expenses and administrative expenses. So, it ain't just nothing.
>> And I would say if we're going to take on one, we take on everything. >> Absolutely. >> Which means we have to take them all on equally. Look, find out about each and every one. Come up with a complete list before we do anything. >> Yeah. But I think we should do it.
>> I mean, we should come up with that list and look at those things >> and be responsible. It's their job. >> Didn't someone do the list? and you do the list early on in your tenure. >> There are way before me there are lists in the file cabinets of all the various
quote landings and those lists may may or may not be accurate or complete given the current understanding of the law. I know when I came on there was the understanding there was a landing on one of the ponds that this commission had
been managing or thought they should be managing for years. As I say, thinking you're managing it. Anyhow, I was as the freshman on the landing commission, that one was given to me. I went and visited it, researched it. It was a landing that
is very regularly used and important to the fire department so they can fill up their tanker trucks to keep the neighborhood from burning down. >> Sounds important. >> Does not belong to the town at all. uh belongs to the neighborhood much as
the landing that I share with four of my neighbors belongs to the five of us. So, it's it's a mixed issue all over town that will need, you know, that I think we we'll come up with a big list and there may need to be some additions over the years.
>> There may need to be some legal interpretation figured out too on which ones are actually private. >> Mhm. public, etc., >> right? Or a good idea for the fire department. >> Well, a lot of
a lot of things are written in in records that >> that describe it. >> Yep. >> And that's, you know, it's incontrovertible at that point. >> I mean, if you have a what is it a 91 a chapter 91 license
>> that demarks it, that's not a discussion. You have to buy that from the state, right? It belongs to the people of the state of Massachusetts. >> And if somebody wants to argue it, they don't they don't come to us to argue it. They go to the state to argue it.
>> At the same time, I know I sat in this room with seven lawyers for some period of time having that sort of argument a couple years ago. So, >> yeah, but depending on the lawyer that you're listening to, they'll say anything. you know,
>> it was just I'm just saying it's complicated and we can certainly look at taking it on. First step, I think, is to dig out a list uh and then start thinking, well, what's you know, what's most important,
what's what we have the budget to do, etc. >> So, I this is all public landings, >> right? Just the bylaw. So like the fire department one you were talking about was a neighborhood landing that wouldn't be something you're required the
committee is required to >> correct >> commission rather >> like I say there was one that we thought was ours and turns out it was not ours at all it was and there's one on Cadman's neck there's two on Cadman's neck one that was thought to be ours that is not ours and then one that is
ours but now if I'm correct and that's a big if at this point in my aged years has a tree about this big in diameter and about 30 feet tall planted in the middle of it
because that's what one of the abutters did to sort of make it look like their land so the public wouldn't be launching their boats. So it becomes a big deal is all I'm saying.
So we'll figure it out. So, my little job is to get the list. Uh, I met with an item number four, the select board about raising the uh sticker price on a Hicksbridge landing
from $30 and whether that could happen midseason or not. They seem to think it could happen midseason. And since they had been setting those prices in the past because we didn't feel like we were in charge of Hicksbridge
Landing, uh, that one was up to them. And I don't know if when or if they will take action on that. I did see that one of our members recently bought a sticker. >> Yes. I didn't realize that I was feeding the system, but >> How'd you do? >> I got one.
>> How much? >> 30. >> 30. Cool. and no senior discount. Not that you are a senior. >> Excuse me. >> Excuse me. >> So, it's still $30 at the moment. >> Good. All right. Uh, but they seem to be
fine with the idea that that would also uh work for West Hicksbridge Landing. >> And what was the recommended new price? They were going to look into it. >> What's the state landing? Anyone know what the state landing price is?
>> It's going up by a dramatic amount for town residents >> and out of town residents. I would hope to >> I don't know. It's not my landing. >> Okay. Uh,
and also they're looking into raising the fine for overnight parking and non and nonsticker use. That that will be going up from $50
potentially to a height of 200 uh for landings where a sticker is required to sort of mirror what's going on at the beach. Any further discussion about that? Next on the agenda is the yoga by the
river application from Andrea Dvau. >> Okay. >> Get nervous every year. >> That's cuz we're so tough. >> Yeah. >> What are we going to hammer you with? I don't know. It's It's never like It's
not >> You have nothing to worry about. >> Yeah, I have nothing to worry about. >> Ha. That's what they say. >> We're all leaf. We're all leash. >> Remember the goose poop. >> That just the goose poop. Uh so, um thank you so much for for hearing me.
This is year 12. Every year I come in and count. I'm like, "Wow, year 12." >> Wow. >> Yeah, I know. I know. Um, so, uh, thank you so much, Jeff, for I knew I I'd reached out. The winter was so long and all of a sudden I was like, "Oh my gosh, it's March." Like, it just seemed like
after that big storm. So, I reached out and, um, >> I knew I wasn't going to be able to get >> the the the police chief and uh the police safety officer and the fire um department safety officer. I usually have to like do a little dance and it takes me about a week and a half to get
their signatures just because they're not like in the office all the time. Uh, and I just got in contact with um Jeff on Thursday. So, uh, thank you for I I I can absolutely get them before June is when it it starts, but um I was able to, you know, fill it out and print
everything and get the insurance and um I did did get the highway department signature uh even though they don't cut the grass there anymore, but I still just get it. Right. They don't cut the grass there anymore. The highway department >> they do it for us. Yeah. Last year they did anyway. >> Okay. Yeah, it was it was always done
last year. It was beautiful. >> The geese love it that way. >> They do. Oh man. I drive by and I'm like, "Look how beautiful the geese are." And they're like, "Oh, we get a lot of poop next week." Anyway, but we we kind of we just giggle and um it takes four to five of us to pick it all
up before class, but we know that other people are using the landing, too, and it's nice that they don't have to, you know, have the goose poop there. Um uh yeah. So I um if it's okay for you all to look over that and then I can take it and
>> get the sign off from the police um safety officer and the fire department safety officer >> and get it back to you guys before June. I'm sure I can do that really really easily. Uh the the concern that they always have is that there's the the parking is to make sure that the safety
vehicles can get through and uh my husband's always there and uh helps guide people to make sure that they're parking so that there's enough room for the the um you know vehicles vehicles to get by with no problem. Uh it's it's not quite as crazy as it used to be. I think
peaked >> 21 22 23 uh during when people Exactly. Exactly. But it's good. It's kind of it's kind of nice. It's a It's um It's not quite as quite as many people as it was for those three years, which I think is I'm not upset about that. Actually, I
was getting a little crazy there for a little bit. It was quite a bit. Um but yeah, it's still I feel like a really beautiful offering for the community. Um and I donate about 20% to you guys so that you can continue to do the awesome
things that you all do. And it usually ends up being about $50 a class, which I uh by the end of the summer is anywhere from $500 to $600 for the for the summer. Um I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to start. I did ask for June 3rd. I might start it a little bit later, but
I figured I would just put that out there that maybe June 3rd. Last summer it was so humid. I don't even remember. July was so humid. >> Um I was almost like maybe we should skip July and just come back in August. Uh, but we'll just keep we'll probably just keep going.
>> It's just hot yoga. >> Yeah, it really is. Right. Because people people pay big bucks for that. So, I'm like, why are we complaining? >> Yeah. Right. >> Um, I don't know if you've noticed, but there's so many branches over there right now. Uh, >> they just picked it up. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> They cleaned it up today. >> Oh, no kidding. >> It's great right now.
>> Yeah, that big beautiful tree um lost a lot of branches during that last storm. >> Yeah, a lot of wind this and they they'll be working on it a little more this week. They let me know that they were going to be taking some dead trees down and some branches. >> Wow. Okay. Yeah. I was like, "Oh, no,
the trees." Because they're so be Yeah. What are you gonna do? You know? >> Um Okay. >> Do you still have a key to the Portage John that we used last year? >> Yes. Although towards the end of the summer, there wasn't a lock on it
anymore. >> Right. So, if I can find the old lock, otherwise I'll get you a key. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Well, that assumes this board wants to have it done again. >> Do we still want yoga by the river? >> I would uh make a motion to approve the
application pending the signatures of the police and fire safety officers. >> I second that. >> It's been moved and second. Any further discussion of the item? >> Hearing none. All in favor? I
>> Hey, >> so >> I'm in favor of it, but I don't vote. >> The commission. >> Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> Endeavor. >> Thank you. >> You sure you don't want to do it early Saturday mornings, too? >> Maybe.
>> Are you going to come? >> No, just more yoke and more poop pickup. >> Oh, maybe. >> Okay. Um, great. Well, I think we're done with you. >> Okay. Thank you so so much. Okay. So,
who how if I take this packet, who do I um or where do I Thank you so much. Um, where should I bring it back to so that it's like on file once I get the signatures? >> Uh, we don't >> you can always drop it if you come back here. You can always drop it in my
office downstairs in the treasurer's office. Okay. >> Um, I'll hold it till the meeting and bring it up to the next meeting. >> Great. >> Okay, >> great. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. Good luck. Patrick's Day. Have a good day. >> Thank you. >> Have a good season. >> Thank you. Thank you.
>> Um, in a related matter, we need to sort of think about when we're I guess it's the next item on the agenda. I also need to press WRVA because I did hear they're planning on doing River Day
and they've already set a date, but so far no one else wants the landing for that date. So, but I will push them. They have a new director, so they that may have slipped through their cracks. Uh, next item.
I'm not yet clear when the highway department will get to put the bench in and when Hixbridge West will be ready for people to drive on it because of the mud. >> Right now, it's barricaded off with the uh silk fence.
>> Plus, I put up the chain and a sign which has since blown away and we need to get some signage in place. So, it'll probably be a while and I will be in touch with you if it's going to happen before next meeting to see when there's a time we can show up for the ribbon
cutting. Uh the because I'm sure we can get they they've moved that that barricade twice now. >> The silk fence. Yeah. >> Yeah. The silk fence. They they it was on one side of the park and then on the
other side of the park. >> Now it's sort of through the middle of it. >> Yeah. It's like weird, but the stuff is movable and we'll just make them open it up where the gate is cuz it's open for other gates and because I that project may go on for a while. I'm not >> Do you know what that project is? What
are they doing? They're putting I think they're putting cable under the asphalt and uh a big surprise where we decided to put the entrance and dug holes to put the uh
>> post grant posts in. They hit something really hard that they were like didn't know it was there. And so the posts were a little higher than planned. And now there's a manhole cover in the middle of the entrance, which I'm assuming is to somehow deal
with this under under the asphalt power lines. >> Wasn't the manhole already there? >> Nope. I didn't see it. >> I think it was covered in dirt. No, >> because it's what it it's a manhole with silk silk cover over it and the pavement
isn't dug up around it. >> There's no pavement. It's dirt, >> right? But it's it's not freshly dug up around it like they just installed something. >> Well, so you've seen it. >> Yeah. >> Well, maybe it was there and I didn't see it. >> I think it was just under the dirt. >> Could be. >> Yep. That is the way a lot of those
things. Cement or is it metal? >> Something magic. >> Metal. Yeah. So anyhow, uh should we just go for the same schedule on putting the portage in at the head that we've had in past years? That seem to >> Yeah, I think it was to the end of
October or something and starting >> I'm just going to ask them to do it again. >> Yeah, I think it was maybe June >> or just before Memorial Day. >> So just before June, it might have been the middle of May or something. you
know, once it warms up and people are starting to be outside and >> Yeah. Okay. >> Okay. Um, float bumpers is item seven on the agenda. Do you have a report for us about
>> Did I I'm meeting with the uh town administrator tomorrow um to find out how he wants us to pay for that. and um >> us being >> Dharma voyage paying for that um Haru master seen it he said okay so I'm just
meeting with the town administrator to find out >> if we can just pay uh Bordon light directly or if it needs to go through the town basically um and uh also ask him about the Hicks bridge pilings that have been disrupted
by the winter weather um because the harbor pastor mentioned to me I should get on Mr. Trip's list to get those fixed and I'm like why would I get on that list? >> He would like us to pay for that.
>> So this brings up this whole other issue is whose landing is it >> right? >> And because in the past it's been the select board's landing. It's come out of the general budget for some budget. So, um,
>> so >> because >> if it's, you know, if it's our landing, then maybe we should be getting your $30 for the tag. >> Hey, sounds good to me. >> Yeah, >> right. I like that. >> Well, that's what I'm saying is like,
you know, >> Yeah. >> that there are expenses related to this stuff and Right. I mean, I'm not trying to be difficult about it, but >> I mean, in anyone in town with a permit can use it. >> Yep. So, that will be something to be
I'll mention that to the or actually if you're meeting with him, maybe you could raise that with him. >> Well, yeah, that's on my list. >> And you have a Warwa hat on. I mean, a Dharma hat on and a landing commission hat on about illegal tomorrow for me to
have a landing commission hat on. Yeah. Do you have one? >> I could borrow. >> I think you could ask him about that also about, you know, who's paying for this now. Uh, and it'll I don't think he'll have an answer. It'll be just
pushing the discussion. >> So, because we were they don't we don't want the pilots going back in exactly where they were. And it may be that they have to wait for the floats to sort of go in to know where they go. I don't I don't know how much they've been moved.
Did they all get iced? >> I think just two. >> The crummy little metal >> metal one definitely is not usable again. I don't think unless you want >> because as long as the two outside ones are there, they can probably put the
floats in because we did get permission to relocate even though they're not our floats. They're the select board's floats, or they were last year, but we're just doing it as a favor. Uh we did get a permission to relocate one of the metal ones, to take one metal one out and
throw it away, and to relocate one closer to right next to like somewhere between high water and the outer ones to hold the east west section >> inside of that north of that.
>> Yeah. In check just so if we ever get big water in a hurricane, you remember that. So we'll have to run out there with ropes, >> right? >> Okay. So you'll have that discussion about >> who pays? Yeah, I'll have a discussion about who pays because Chris already
said we could do it. Mhm. >> Conservation Chris. >> Conservation Chris. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Good. >> We have a lot of Chris's around here now. >> Is the new administrator of Chris? >> Yes. >> Okay. Wanted to ask that tonight to make sure I had it right. I thought it was.
>> Moving right along to item eight. I'll encourage everyone in town to vote locally. Democracy and action. Uh what is the election day? It's April >> 14th. >> 14th. Second Tuesday,
>> April 14th. Does anyone know from what time to what time? >> Uh, from 10 to 8. >> 10 to 8. Uh, I'm happy to report that we have a candidate this year, select board. So,
we will be a full board again next year >> for landing commission. >> For landing commission. So, I uh would appreciate if everybody voted for him just so it'll he'll feel really welcome here in town.
But I probably can't say that person's name because maybe that would be wrong. >> Well, Shoreline's reporter has reported on this about six times. >> Well, they've skipped they skipped landing commission >> couple. Anyhow, Sean Leech has agreed to
be on the landing commission. I think he'll be a great asset >> and he is running unopposed. >> It's not like you're saying one candidate's name and not another. >> And also just be nice to our our town clerk and don't don't write in Daffy
Duck or that creates an enormous amount of work for her and delays the reporting when people are being funny and write in >> fun stuff like it's not helpful. Ah, the next one is rent increases.
You have a copy of this. >> Yes, I'll take Thank you. Do >> you have a copy of this there? >> I think so. >> No. >> No. It's not. Thank you. >> Maybe I didn't make enough copy.
Well, anyhow, you can see because I sort of have it in my brain. uh last year we went with 6%. So just and that that was what we had done the previous year. Um
so I have given us to start with the options of 5% 6% 7%. I've done no further research than any of that. We don't absolutely have to make this
decision at this meeting. But if we can, that would be good because I actually printed out the leases so we could start gathering signatures. Any thoughts about
567 as an increase? >> Seven. >> Your thought is seven. >> Well, it ought to be at least what it was last year. That was six last year. >> Yeah. So was six last year and we've had inflation since then.
>> I noticed. >> Right. But it'll be it'll be another 6% over last year's. >> Right. >> Any thought at this end of the table? >> I think six or 7%. >> Either one's fine with me.
You're the treasurer. I think you want as much as you can get. >> I generally do. So, I mean, I'm not I'm certainly not opposed to the 7%. It's not a huge difference. >> $139. Yeah. For the bigger one, right?
>> No, only 39. >> 4,100 versus 4139. >> Oh, just $39. >> $39. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, and the other one's roughly $25 difference, I think. So, not even Yeah. $24 difference. >> So,
>> I motion that we go to 7%. How many years would it take to buy that property? What's that property worth now? And how many years would it take to buy it for $39 a year more? That's substantial. >> Uh there's a little bit of analysis of
that at the bottom. Uh although that analysis is about five years old. >> I was going to say I I know I'm looking at the numbers down there. I did figure it out. I think it was a fiscal based on fiscal 23. >> Mhm. >> Information, not fiscal current fiscal 26.
>> Right. I decided not to do it again cuz >> um I mean personally since it's been 6% my sense is to consider staying at that amount. But >> again, it's not that big a dollar amount. And so
>> spend two years at 6%, right? Mhm. >> And I will say that certainly for West Hicks bridge that's her property there is going to change quite a bit this year if people are actually parking and using
West Hicks bridge which has never been done in recent decades but commercial riverfront property. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Oh, it's I mean, you know, >> isn't it about time we stop giving
things away in this town to people? >> I >> It's not like we're a rich town. We complain about money all the time. And yet, when it's our turn to ask for money, we don't do it. >> So, I'm going to have to reprint these leases, I guess. >> Did you have >> Yeah, I was looking at it from a
different perspective. Is that >> is 4,100 the monthly rent? >> No, that's per year. >> Per year. That's for the land only. >> They are taxed on the dwelling and >> uh so for they are taxed on
>> the law is very interesting on these that they do get taxed for the property in in addition to that but the they do give them a discount on the tax because of the rent. >> Okay. Well, that's uh I wasn't aware of that and it it makes my question moot. I
was going to ask what is the rent because I wasn't sure what the $4,000 was and is that a is that competitive and fair in today's market, but it's we're not talking apples to apples here, so I can't. >> No, right. That was part of the question. >> But but for instance, the um kayak shop
pays $1,410 taxes for a commercial waterfront property. And the their additional cost would be at 7% would be another 2,000 basically 2,000. So that would be 3,400.
That's a steal for for t for taxes, right? For commercial waterfront property. >> Oh yeah. Let me tell you what they pay for commercial waterfront property >> except that there's no septic and there's no water. >> That's partial part of what's taken into
consideration there on that. >> Yeah. >> Assessment. >> Just to be aware that >> it's a piece of otherwise kind of useless land except the public use of it. >> Well, >> I can think of places and no water. I
think you have an offer on the table for if somebody I mean I'll pay that for it. >> Yeah, me too. >> But I like seeing the kayak shop there, so I don't want to take it away, but >> let me know when the lease comes up. >> I'll make the motion that we um move
ahead with a 7% increase on the rent for both um kayak shop and adabar property. >> I second. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none, I think we should have like a hand vote
on this. Everybody that's for 7% as moved, please raise your right hand. That's three people. Anyone who's against 7%, please raise your right hand. Do you want it higher?
>> Record that at 3 to one. >> Thank you. So, I printed this out at 6%. So, this now means that I need to go and reprint. >> Is that the only reason you wanted? >> No. >> Show them >> in the interest of saving paper.
>> A little discussion. >> Although, actually, they should sign the lease first and we should sign it after. If you read what it says, it says upon receipt of the monies, I mean, I can hold off on my signature and when I receive the checks because they mail them to me, sign it and pay send it out
to them. >> The lease, >> but we have this is the way we've done it. We've notified them in the past. That's otherwise won't know how much it is and then I have to send them another letter. >> Okay. 7%. So, yeah, we could just do
I'll I will chase you all down at some point in the next week or so. >> Excuse me. The chair knows I have to be someplace, although I don't have the proper attire. >> Uhhuh. >> Happy St. Patrick's. >> Thank you. >> Green paper. >> Thank you for your attendance.
>> Way out there. There's a stack of green paper and you could make yourself a little folded. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Something or other. Um given and you may be able to help me with this.
>> Gotcha. >> That the first sentence says this indenture made the 17th day of March. That's today. >> Mhm. So given that I have to chase people down, you folks down for a signature, should
we like just >> it was voted today. So I would say it would be okay to keep that 17th date >> rather than make it the 30th and then mail it by then. Just keep it keep it on that day. Great.
Okay. Next item is minutes approval. You all been had a chance to look at >> Yeah. >> the minutes. >> I'll abstain because I was not here >> because I'm old.
>> I can see that she misspelled pledge >> and she made Richard Brewer into Richard Brewster. >> Yep. Any other thoughts? >> I think they're very good minutes.
>> We'll entertain a motion. >> I move that we accept these meets >> as amended. >> As amended. Yes. As amended. >> Second. >> For those who can vote on this because they were here. Who's in favor of this? >> I.
>> I. Hey. Hi. Would you mark that as three to nothing? >> Yes. Thank you. I told you all about them clearing cleaning up the landing and >> next meeting. >> Is there any other business that anyone
has? I have a suggestion >> um at Hicksbridge Landing and it's probably the select board's decision. Too bad Mr. Brewer isn't still here. Um, I have a suggestion that four parking
spaces on the north side of Hicksbridge, main Hicksbridge parking, east, Hicksbridge east, the main >> kind of next to where that little kiosk >> kiosk is. Yep. >> Get marked with signs that say for
vehicles and trailers only because the Dharma people tend to come in and just park everywhere. And so it kind of makes it hard for people with trailers and more often than not the guys with trailers come in to that location to the
north side. So it's easy for them to come in and out of the the ramp. Um so that would be my suggestion. Then Dharma people have to park other places unless they happen to have a trailer with them. >> Dharma and other people that might just be there with boats on the tops of their
cars or something. So, you're suggesting sign says cars with trailers only. >> Vehicles with trailers only. >> Just maybe four spots so that there's always a spot for guys with trailers because it is a landing. It's one of our
only landings where you can actually put a boat in on the ramp into the water. >> Gooseberry has an area designated, I believe, for trailers. >> Yeah, that's right. >> Vehicles with trailers only. do and much as I've tried to convince Dharma people,
it doesn't work. It hasn't worked. >> Parking being what it is. >> Right. There's no sign. So, you know, >> they can park on the other side, too, cuz that's vehicles only. >> They could park at West Tixbridgeidge.
>> That's vehicles only. Yeah. It would be a pretty much a nightmare to get a trailer in and out of there. No, I mean, but no, that that a a fisherman, a fishing person or someone without a trailer can park there. >> I suspect maybe some of the
rod only fisherman might do that, might use it. It might be more convenient. >> Yeah. And rowing people might also. >> Yep. I think so. >> Uh speaking of which, I have nothing to report about the
progress. They're still moving through permitting for the work on East Hicks bridge. >> Do they decide to go with PA? >> Are they trying to go with PA? >> Yeah, definitely trying to go with it and just, you know, the back and forth
with various regulators. >> Yeah, I wish the regulators would come down and see it after the donut guys get done >> because there's so much gravel all over the place. It's kind of hard to walk sometimes in some of the areas where they kick so much up. And um and my
