Below is a summary of the Moorings Bay Citizens Advisory Committee meeting  
held on 8/15/06
 
1. Pier/boat Lift Permit Discussion. Garland and Garland Marine contractors  
appeared before the committee offering information on two boat pier  
structures that they would like to build at 265 Springline Drive and 285 Bahia  Court. 
Both are pie-shaped lots that have a limited amount of water frontage  (approx 
45'). The positioning of each pier would not comply with the city  ordinance. 
Both piers would extend into the perimeter dredge channel.  No decision was 
taken because no formal application has been filed with the  city.
 
2. Doctor's Pass Light. The new light tower is scheduled to be installed  
next week by Naples Dock and Marine. Total cost for the project is just under  
$35,000, paid by taxing district funds.
 
3. Address Numbers. It was discussed that many water front property owners  
do not have their address displayed on the bay side bulkhead as required by  
the city code. This will be investigated further in hopes to bring more  
property owners into compliance. The numbers are useful for police and emergency  
services.
 
4. Tax Rate. The Moorings Bay Taxing District millage rate for the  coming 
year will stay at .025. This rate will generate a little less that  $40,000 in 
revenue for the district. In addition to earned interest, all  expected 
expenses should be covered with no increase in the millage  rate.
 
5. Jetty. Discussion was made with regard to repairs to the Doctor's Pass  
north jetty. The city has budgeted monies in the coming fiscal year to cover  
engineering and permit fees for adding badly needed rock.. Construction costs  
will be included in the following (2nd) year budget. At least partial  TDC 
reimbursement to the city is expected.
