A special m~eting of the Board of Commissioners of the Fish~
ers Island ferry District was called by the Chairman at 1:00
p.m. in the office of the Ferry District. Present were COm~
missioners duPont, Doyen, Baker, Evans, and Doherty. The pU~~
pose of the meeting was to review the proposed budget for the
fiscal year January 1, 1983 through December 31, 1983. The
estimated revenues and disbursements for the period were r$~d
bY the manager, The estimated revenues for the period are .
p,140,OOO.00 and the estimated disbursements are $1,264,292.50
thus requiring a tax levy of $124,292.50 as contrasted to the
fiscal 1982 levy of $155,000.00.
At the conclusion, a lengthy discussion was held concerning
the pros and cons of building a. new boat to replace OLINDA. .
There is considerable apprehension about increasing capacity
abQve what is currently existing dUe to the possible influx
of new people into the island when services are alreadYs~rain-
ed, i.e., electric utilities and remaining telephone circuits.
It was pointed out that the Ferry District is alreadY stiained
with its existing vessels and needs increased capacity to meet
current capacity demands. At the,end of the discussion it was
decided to leave the line item "NEW VESSEL" with a $600,000.00
cost figure in tho budget and to proceed with plans to cOnstr\.lct
a new ferryAith increa$ed cargo capacity. Such a vesselwoUlc!

a more acceptable backup vessel for MUNNATAWKET.
