Obtain marina committee bylaws defining the marketing report duty
Why now: The record shows the same agenda item, Item 5, carried five times with no report — including a noted absence on April 6 and a 0-0 vote notation on June 1 — but no governing bylaw or attendance rule appears anywhere in the file.
What to do: Request the Marina Advisory Committee's enabling resolution or bylaws and the full adopted minutes for the April 6 through August 3 meetings, then determine whether the advertising and marketing report is a mandated committee function and whether a member's repeated non-report or absence triggers any attendance or vacancy provision. Ask the clerk how a '0-0' entry was recorded when the minutes state no action was taken.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Ask why marina marketing reports missing at five meetings
Why now: Brad Stokes gave no marketing update on May 4, June 1, June 22 and August 3 and was absent April 6, yet Mr. Atwood reported on June 1 that Facebook ads were running for 4th of July transients and newly opened dock tenants, and the June 1 minutes record a 0-0 vote.
What to do: Request the marina's advertising invoices and Facebook ad campaign records for April through August, plus any written marketing plan, and ask who authorized the July 4th transient and new-dock tenant ads. The standing marketing item has produced no member report in five straight meetings while ad spending apparently continued — the record never shows who set the budget or measured results.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Ask marina about newly opened dock slips and transient traffic
Why now: Mr. Atwood told the committee on June 1, 2026 that the marina was running Facebook ads to attract transients for the 4th of July and tenants for the newly opened docks.
What to do: Contact marina staff about lease terms and availability at the newly opened docks and about how many transient boaters the July 4th ad push brought in, since the recruitment was being advertised on Facebook rather than through any posted notice. Waiting means slips get leased to respondents who saw the social media ads first.
Act before: After the next material record update
