2. Minutes of the March 18, 1985 meeting were brought before the Authority for
approval. The only change noted was that Cecil Allen of Turner Collie & Braden,
Inc. was present at the previous meeting, not Neil Bishop. A motion was made
by Cary Burnley to accept the minutes with the noted change, seconded by Al
Fields. The motion was unanimous.
3. Morgan's Point and Shoreacres have decided they would like to enter into the
feasibility study of the current phase. Morgan's Point did not receive a
contractual agreement, but would sign upon receipt. Bob Montgomery suggested
that an interim plan for the Board be to expand its membership by adding
representatives from other entities that are involved. The Board will act on
this proposal at a later date. Turner Collie & Braden was not sure of any
additional costs that would be incurred by adding Morgan's Point and Shoreacres.
Rick Matthews made a motion to accept Morgan's Point and Shoreacres to the
current phase with a prorated share plus any additional costs as determined
by Turner Collie & Braden. It was seconded by Cary Burnley and passed unanimously.
Morgan's Point is to receive a contractual agreement and a copy of the resolution.
4. The report from Turner Collie & Braden on the revision to the feasibility study
was not presented. This was due to incomplete information, but a draft of the
report would be ready in one week. When the draft is complete Turner Collie
& Braden will call and a special meeting of the Board will be called.
