Commissioner Henderson proposed retaining the 2012 POI contribution to IBIC for security at $3,200.00 subject to a formal agreement with the IBIC Security Committee regarding POI contribution. The $3,200.00 amount may be adjusted based on the consensus of the POI commissioners following a formal agreement with the IBIC Security Committee. Public comments regarding this process are encouraged.
Commissioner Wald introduced a discussion of the kayak/small boat storage facility currently beneath the Indianola Dock and a community desire to update and expand this storage facility. Commissioner Henderson suggested that the POI move forward with a feasibility study of the necessary details to proceed with an upgrade of this facility.
