3.                 Water System:

Port Manger Chris Phalen said we should delay the water system until spring. Commissioner Edwards said he wanted to do more research on that and that he also added that we needed to get rid of the rocks out there. He added that there are machines that will pick up all of the rocks and has seen them do it. Port Manager Phalen said she had talked to the lady prisoners about coming in and picking up rocks. Commissioner Edwards said we need it leveled off more. Commissioner Stevens said the ground around here grows rocks. Commissioner Edwards said we need some topsoil spread after it is leveled and the rocks taken out. He added that we haven’t got the data from Nichols on the well we asked for. A second well was discussed. Putting a kitchen on the other end was also discussed, in the event that someone wanted to have an outdoor wedding or a family reunion. We then would have the facilities to do that. Commissioner Edwards said he would rather put a well and sanitation system at the park where we could make more money.
