location for the additional boat slips at this time. He also noted that there Es

Council Member' Best inquired if the city would be greatly delayed in pre-
paring the design if the Council makes a motion to install the new boat slips on
the "L -Head
City manager Townsend replied that it would have to be determined if the
depth is adequate
and if it has to be dredged. He assured the Council that if
they agreed oh this location, the eagiei Bring can save forward because this is
not a,::Coaplex engineering problem. Council Member Turner inquired if there are
