XIII. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON CONSENT CALENDAR
Jim Mosher thought that the December 12, 2023 minutes (Item 1) should reflect that the second meeting

Location of Piers and Floats), he suggested that the Harbor Commission be required to make all the
findings for extending beyond the City lines and did not think the item was ready to be introduced.
