This communication requested that December 20th Council minutes be corrected to indicate that the Commission had made no decision regarding a commercial venture to be known as Fish Grotto at the Yacht Harbor, however, they feel that they are obligated to eventually recommend-favorably or unfavorably if the Yacht Harbor land is used to house this commercial venture. Councilman Granger was of the opinion that the Council should make a decision and clean up this matter without further delay. Recreation Director Morton advised that the Commission had been unable to make a decision until such time as the location is decided upon. Councilman Royer stated that he could see no objections to the Fish Grotto if it did not interfere with Recreation or with Port facilities. Councilman Jones was of the opinion that this venture might prove to be a distinct asset to the city if properly developed. Councilman Royer then moved that the Council go on record as not opposing the Fish Grotto if satisfactory property can be fur- nished which will not interfere with the Recreational program or Port facilities. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones. Mayor Herkner suggested that the City Manager 1 and members of the Park and Port Commissions get together and decide if there is any pro- perty available. City Manager replied that he had contacted the Port Commissioners and they still were not able to decide where this business could be located inasmuch as the Port is still negotiating with the Southern Pacific Company for a location of a spur track. Included in the original motion was the condition that a letter be addressed to the Port Commissioners requesting an answer within fifteen days. Motion carried, Councilmen Spil- lers and Granger voting NO. Mrs. Vera Eskin addressed the Council to the effect that the Yacht Harbor was a great potential play ground area and should be developed over the years to the end that it become a recreational area, seconded by none. After further discussion it was the expressed opinion of the Council that they were anxious to receive the recom- mendations of the Port and Recreation Commissions as soon as possible.
