Ken said docks 1-60 are in a restricted area. Mayor Galligan said there should be slgns for the boat dockers, maybe to read "Boat Dockers Only"~ "No Fishing", or some other signs to keep people from coming down to the docks and staying off of them because they are private and will have the Police patrol that area by riding down by the docks. Make the place next to the overlook a fishing pier and the other one a fishing pier and keep them confined to them for fishing. Councllperson Perkins said the sign should read "Decks restricted to Dock Owners Only". Mayor Galligan said the other problem is backing trailers in the water and leaving the traller and truck in while they test a boat, people are having a hard time getting around them. Ken will be working on a sign saying at the ramp,"Do not leave truck and trailer"i Mayor Galligan said Ken needs to ask the people who are testing the boats, not to make a wake behind the parked boats, they need to go out farther in the river. Ken said he will have three signs made to read~ "No Parking trailers at the ramp", "Restricted area for Dock Owners Only", "No Fishing". Mayor Gailigan said he needs a sign telling where the fishing wharfs are.
