Recommendations include curb of raw sewage inflows via a baffle system at creek mouths and possible public marina study, plus DOT actions on bulk petroleum bans and canal terminal moves.

Council may aid minority firms in city contracts
The Common Council will decide Monday on a proposed program to guarantee performance bonds for small and minority owned firms seeking city contracts. Councillor Nicoletti backs using $50,000 in Community Development funds to provide up to $20,000 per contract as security with a 0.5 percent letter fee. Eligible firms must have under $500,000 in prior year gross sales, and the plan is described as experimental to boost minority participation.
