Title

Report on Conversion to Helical Anchor System for Moorings

Recommendation

The City currently has 16 moorings for which it is responsible for the semi-annual inspection and maintenance of the tackle.  Interest has been expressed in potentially converting the ground tackle on these moorings from traditional weights and chains to more environmentally friendly helical anchor systems. This report will update the Commission on a pilot project to convert three City moorings in the C mooring field to the helical anchor system.

                     OR

 

c)                     Recommend the Harbor Department move forward with the pilot project to convert three moorings in the C Mooring field to the helical anchor system.
