o'clock so I am going to call the ports and harbors um meeting on October 5th to order um and for roll call all commissioners are present so um easy roll call on that and just um we've been asked to give everyone a reminder as you make motions and or you speak make sure your microphone is highlighted red um and then off again if you're not so um first up is approval of minutes and we have two sets of minutes to do so the first we'd like um a motion for the august 31st 2026 minutes

so moved

is there a second thank you any discussion hearing none all in favor of the minutes from august 31st say aye any opposed

all

right now for the minutes from september 21st 2026 um is there a motion to approve

moved

all right I I see a pattern

yeah

any discussion all right all in favor say aye

aye

anyone opposed the September 21st minutes pass um public business Nate I'm guessing you're on an agenda item okay um so I do not see unless the commissioner needs to step down for public business um any that need to go so we will um move right along to um our first item of new business which is reviewing the customer and stakeholder feedback um from almost last year at this

time

sort of that we did the survey well it was winter time yeah

was

it surveying the winter I thought it

was

maintenance

so

when we

met with

council just my quick background um

about

a year ago and set our

priorities and work one of them

was to

do

some stakeholder reach out and this is the result from that and um I don't know if you guys have any highlights you want to bring into the conversation

just the 96% of the harbor customers were very happy with harbor staff um the feedback that I was looking for was more one on one I sent out a letter last year and I got about 30 replies so either we're doing really really well with no nobody had anything negative to report a lot of positive but um I had a couple small little things um lots of like common complaints in the survey which was launch ramps and fuel prices and fuel hours same similar thing we've I've reached out and uh it's a lot of information in my report on basically what we're doing for that but that was the feedback we we got this year and we're gonna make a few small changes in

our

plans next year a little bit better communication with the customers but that was the the gist of it they prefer email or at least our customers

do

we did have a really great feedback today from one of our users in about two years since they came but they usually come almost every single year to use our facilities to haul out and go on maintenance pads and she's just like

I love you guys you're amazing compared to

not speak else but anyways yeah she's just like we love you guys.

It's just it's so professional you're right on top of everything and so yeah she's super happy.

Last year remember we had a lot of debris in the harbor this year we had a lot of fishing in the harbor so it's just similar amount of complaints or mentions of that but just different different flavors so you have anything to add or if you guys have any feedback I haven't gotten a lot from the commission

but

we'd be open to any

I

I misunderstood what you said what what do we have a lot of last year the

debris like when we get those floods we get a bunch of floats and it just washes in and out of the harbor so we have a lot more complaints about that last year.

This year it was more fishing related

so I I think this is really a good process um I actually participated in it and I think that uh the harbor is doing a really good job.

Uh one of the things I noticed in here was that you only had about seven responses from the commercial issues side that was pretty low and considering that you know they are pretty significant use of the harbor it might be worth generating a

you

know a questionnaire specific to them just to see if you can get a little bit more input from also recognizing that this wasn't much of a salmon season this year so it wasn't a lot of fleet here in general but I think maybe targeting uh the questionnaire towards them might get you a little better input.

No, good positive.

Any other questions from the commission?

Anything else you guys need from us or just report that we're there and you work.

Just a report for you guys, and it was one of your goals, and we executed on it and brought it back to you.

And it's it's for you guys to use how you wish.

We'll use it.

We get some good information out of it.

Um lots last year, a little bit this year, and so we'll initiate the things that are really easy fixes.

Some of the things we did last year, like the pressure washer, the uh hose on the drive down to help clean up for the fishing nets and stuff, those things are really easy for us to facilitate.

All right.

Um moving on then to our second item, which is to review the commission goals and directions um from 25-26 and sort of talk about where we went ahead for the 27 set of goals.

Um Jeremy, do you want to take the lead on this?

Well, I just want to point out that I completely dropped the ball on the last one.

And so I definitely think we should if we're still interested in doing that.
