After months of long negotiations, the Harbor approved an agreement to allow the Elks to operate the long vacant Redwood RV Park.
Apparently, the Agreement is on an unstable foundation and may be breaking apart over the charge of nightly RV access.
The Harbor says it needs the market rate of $55 per night. Its nightly rate cannot exceed $25 per night. The Elks patrons receive a 20 percent discount for all RV guests.
In other developing news, the Harbor dredging plan could save over $1 million.
For decades, dredge sediments have been treated like garbage - hauled offshore and dumped to the deep ocean, out of sight, out of mind. Now the Harbor is looking into a pilot study that embraces sediment as a natural asset rather than a disposal problem.
The study will strive to reveal the valuable asset is put to work on strengthening the littoral zone.
By shifting time near shore disposal at Whaler Island, the Harbor may save over a $1 million in transportation costs alone.
