Marine Board, March 29

The Oregon State Marine Board is holding a special Board meeting March 29 in Portland to discuss a proposal to relocate the Kevin Duckworth Dock from the East Bank Esplanade to Swan Island. The meeting will be held at the Portland Building, 1120 SW 5th Ave, beginning at 9:30 am. Additionally, the Board will hear the agency’s 2017 legislative concepts. The special Board meeting will also include a presentation from agency staff to the Board with information regarding two legislative concepts for Board approval for the 2017 full legislative session. Based on feedback from boaters during the agency’s 2011-2016 strategic planning process and subsequent Boat Oregon Advisory Teams, two concepts evolved: development of a Non-motorized Program, and improvements to the Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program. The meeting is accessible for persons with disabilities. For a communication aid request or agenda questions, please contact June LeTarte, Executive Assistant, at 503-378-2617. The Board will accept public comment during the designated period at the beginning of the meeting. Attendees are encouraged to use public transportation due to limited downtown parking.
