Darryl Coe stated that the report was good; he is the first owner /occupant since 1975 and owns the house with all the boats. He has held international sailing competitions in his backyard with people coming from other airlines all over the world. He stated that his dock is in the Level 3 category but that he questions that because he is working on it. He is wondering if the boat that picks up the grass has hit his dock as he knows of two cases of docks being hit. He further stated that there are some dock failures not being addressed that are Redwood City parks such as at Dolphin Park and the park adjacent to the bridge. He asked for a bridge on Shell Boulevard and not cutting the lagoons in two as it impacts sailing.
