CITIZENS' FORUM: REQUESTS, PETITIONS & OTHER COMMUNICATIONS <br /> 13A. Discussion by Steven Breakstone regarding Fishing Facilities at the Intracoastal Parks. <br /> Action: Steven Breakstone said he wanted to bring up the possibility of fishing at the two <br /> new parks in Intracoastal Parks. It would be a great enhancement to the City and the cost <br /> would be minimal. He suggested refurbishing the current cement docks that are there,and it <br /> would give the residents the opportunity to fish the Intracoastal rather than the Pier. He said <br /> he was at the Pier last weekend which is well attended by many fishermen who have not <br /> really caught a lot of fish. He has personally fished in the Intracoastal and has caught more <br /> fish in the Intracoastal than those who fish from the Pier. <br /> Mayor Edelcup said it is certainly an interesting concept and something that the Commission <br /> can think about while we are doing our Capital Budget this summer and see what kind of <br /> thoughts we can come up with. Another suggestion has been to perhaps permit sailboats to <br /> dock there on the Intracoastal side, and so we have a couple of things to look at. But he <br /> thinks it is another great idea that we can put in the hopper for the Commission to consider. <br /> Mayor Edelcup said there is no parking at that Park. Mr. Breakstone said there is an existing <br /> wood dock on the north side of the Intracoastal Park. That dock can be refurbished at <br /> minimal costs. It would be a cost effective way to give our residents more activities in the <br /> City. Mayor Edelcup thanked him for the idea and he is sure that the City Manager will work <br /> on it and present them with something. <br /> 19 <br />
