The port commission met Nov. 2. Among the items of business was discussion of extending the boat ramps at Shoemaker Bay to reduce their steep angle at low tides, and placing covers over the ramps around the harbors. Harbormaster Dave Mork said he has quotes on the covers and plans to go out for bids on them soon. Work is progressing on trying to reduce the amount of electrical current entering the water at the harbors.
