Memorandum 15-083

 

TO:                       Honorable Mayor Wythe and City Council Members

FROM:                 Port and Harbor Building Task Force, Barbara Howard, Chair

DATE:                  June 9, 2015

SUBJECT:         Request to Dissolve the Port and Harbor Building Task Force

______________________________________________________________________________

In compliance with Resolution 13-059 the work of the Port and Harbor Building Task Force has now been completed.  Nearly two years to the date of inception, this task force proudly requests that the City Council dissolve this body. 

 

Members of the Task Force, along with the Director of Public Works and the Project Manager, met often with the architects, engineers and contractors to design and construct a suitable facility for the port and harbor staff and harbor customers and did so while bringing this project to fruition within schedule and budget. This was truly a team effort in achieving for the citizens of this community and the users of this harbor the best possible end product. 

 

The beautiful building is complete. The staff has moved in and the community has come to witness the dedication and grand opening of this building. A very proud and happy occasion.

 

The Task Force expresses its gratitude of thanks to Mr. Dan Nelsen and Mr. Carey Meyer for their tireless efforts to contain cost for a building that will be adequate for the needs of the harbormaster's staff and the vessel owners for a very long time. 

 

The Task Force also recognizes the sincerest efforts each port and harbor employee played in the space efficiency and design for the customers who visit each day.

 

To the Mayor and City Council, your foresight and determination made this project a reality.

 

Task Force Members request to "stand down".
