NEW BUSINESS ITEMS

1. Piles Soundings report from Brad Miller: The upper and lower grade of the pier pilings of the first half of the pier and the upper grade of the pilings in the remaining half of the pier have been assessed. None received a rating of a 100. Mr. Miller said they are all very old pilings, many of which are compromised being characterized as hollow, with deep splits or, to the extreme, completely ‘trashed’. He said the first half of the pier’s pilings are the most compromised. The stub piles around many are 98% to 100% trashed. He said a good portion of the pilings are not strapped to the caps which could easily compromise the stability of the pier during a Southerly winter storm. Mr. Miller said he could not complete the final half lower grade pile soundings until Spring of 2013 due to lack of a sufficiently low tide to give access to the remaining tiles. He advised that the Commission hire a consulting engineer to advise on necessary short-term and long-term steps that may need to be taken to guarantee the stability and safety of the pier. The Board agreed and Comm. Henderson will e-mail a request to Shane Phillips at Coasts and Harbor Engineering Firm to get information regarding costs to have the pier assessed as to what steps may be necessary to ensure its future viability.
2. Beverly Ford resigned her position as Port Recording Secretary and verbally requested that she not receive compensation for work done to date. Her resignation was accepted and discussion ensued regarding drafting a job description for the vacant position and posting it in the December Breeze and in the Post Office. Carol Tripp stated she would e-mail a job description to Comm. Frank who would draft one for the POI.
