7. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS: Port of Alsea request for assistance in Sewer Line Upgrade: Maggie Rivers, representing the Port of Alsea, reviewed the request regarding the sewer line which connects the Port restrooms with the City sewer. The sewer line connects the Port restrooms with the City sewer. Mr. Beckstead asked if there were existing problems with leakage. Ms. Rivers responded that the new restrooms were connected to the old sewer line connection, with a "T" between the restroom and the restaurant. In the summertime, with high usage, there are problems. Mr. McClintock estimated about $1,000 to replace the "T" junction with a "Y" connection. Mr. Beckstead moved to authorize the expenditure of such sums as necessary to replace the existing line from the Port restrooms to the City sewer line. Mr. Abbott seconded. Mr. Church felt the amount should not be left open-ended, and amended the motion to add "not to exceed $2000". Mr. Abbott seconded the amendment. The amendment carried unanimously on a voice vote. The main motion, as amended, then carried unanimously on a voice vote.
8. ADJOURNMENT: At 6:41 p.m., there being no further business to come before the Agency, Mr. Beckstead moved to adjourn. Ms. Eder seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
