From: WGarvie@aol. com [ mailto: WGarvie@aol. com] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 7: 29 PM To: Robert Mearns Subject: Re: Gov. Stone Bob, At the February 3rd meeting of the CRA (see the minutes) it was decided by a 4 to 3 vote to not approve the expenditure of approximately $ 600, which funds were to pay for an electrical conduit, necessary for a bilge pump, and a sign promoting the Gov. Stone. Both items appear to be necessary and reasonable in order for the Gov. Stone to be docked at the Landing Park. The hang -up was not the cost, but the fact that the Gov Stone managers could not provide a definite number of days for the Gov. Stone to be docked at the Landing. This is a fantastic educational opportunity for the City, and I would hate to see some other locality end up with this jewel. Samantha did say that the CRA may reconsider this issue if they are assured of a certain number of days that the Gov Stone will be at the Landing. In either case, CRA approval or non approval, the council should have the last say. I would like to see a more " elaborate" sign at the docking site. The sign proposed is a metal sign, cost app. 100; 1 would suggest a sign similar to the signs at Liza Jackson Park, cost app. $ 300. This sign would be capable of being much more informative ( history, dimensions of the ship, etc.) and I believe that this is the intent of having the Gov Stone at the Landing Park.
