In a letter to Mike Roth, City Administrator for Grand Marais, dated November 1, 2006, DNR Harbors Program Coordinator Larry Killien said he had changed both the RFP and existing Cooperative Agreement between the DNR and the city to reflect changes requested by the Grand Marais City Council. He included copies of the revised documents.
Killien wrote: "In the RFP I made all of the requested changes except, for item # 3. Without some form of land control on the property behind the breakwall we are not able to consider expanding the existing marina. As you may recall our assistant Trails and Waterways Director come [sic] up specifically to address that issue."
Hello, friends? Land control? Are we talking about the conservation easements enacted by a previous council, perceived as a minor stumbling block to big marina development? Let's hear it for land control!
Killien concluded, "As soon as the city is satisfied with the format and text we will finalize and process the documents."
The revised documents are slated for review at the City Council meeting on Weds., December 14 at 4:30 p.m. Curious about why it took a month and a half for the letter and documents to hit the council agenda? Hmm, so is True.
Roth told the Cook County News Herald that a party had requested notification before any action on the harbor marina was discussed. So, nu. Here we are, two council meetings later.
Harbor Friends, let's turn out next Wednesday OR write to the Council with PAPER backup (my emails somehow don't show up in the record).
