<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">It appears that you think that removing both Dock #18 and Dock #19 will solve the problem. I disagree! The only way to actually solve the problem is to dredge the area around the dinghy docks. In order to do that we will have to fight for permission to do the dredging and that will take time and will not be easy or inexpensive. </span></div>
<div>
<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As for your point regarding selling both docks, while there is probably people that would buy them I am sure that we would have to take a significant financial loss. With regard to adding Dock #18 to the end of finger Dock #26, it would raise two issues, (1) it would make its very difficult to enter and exit the Slips at the inner end of the face docks and (2) no doubt require the installation of an additional piling at the end of Dock #18 art a cost of at least $1500 and we would still have to sell Dock #19.</span></div>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Yep that time line is accurate from what I recall.

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Greetings,</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> As far as I am aware, the small dinghy dock (Dock #19) was purchased and installed in 2016 at a cost of about $4500. At the time that it was installed, it was attached to the end of Dock #17 which is where the longer Dock #18 is now attached. Prior to the present configuration, Dock #18 was positioned in the spot where Dock #19 is presently positioned. The reason for the change in the positions of Dock #18 and Dock #19 was in effort to provide the most space for dinghys on the land side of the dinghy dock area. Obviously, if Dock #18 was in place where Dock #19 is now located it would extend further towards land than Dock #19 does now.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> We have had the problem of the dinghys grounding for a fairly long time and it appears the problem has gotten worse in spite of our efforts as the configuration of the river bottom surrounding the dinghy area has changed as more material (rocks and sand) has decreased the average depthof the dinghy area at low and high tide.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> From my point of view, removing Dock #19 will not appreciable help the situation. If it is decided to remove Dock #19, we will have to (1) store Dock #19 in our parking area or (2) sell Dock #19. Storing Dock #19 will result in losing a parking space in the parking lot and selling Dock #19 will most likely result in a financial loss. Whatever option we choose will not appreciable solve the dinghy grounding problem.</span></div>
