PUBLIC COMMENTS
•John Augustine attended the Harbor House Livery Meeting on Tuesday, February 11th, which he thought was very informative. John Augustine stated that it was announced at that meeting that two (2) ideas were going to be put forward, but with no numbers. John Augustine would hope the Board would ask either the Harbor House Livery Committee or Better Future Alliance to present one or both of the ideas, but to include numbers to see if it is feasible before we spent any more of their time or energy before going down this path.
