BREAKING: Two Proposals Submitted to County for Harbor Revitalization
 
 In our most recent newsletter, we alerted you to last Thursday's deadline for potential developers to submit their proposals to the County to take over the Harbor Revitalization Plan.  In it, we anticipated that not all four of the development teams previously qualified by the County would submit bids.  We were right - only two teams submitted proposals.  These two development teams are the ones created after the leading contender fractured and the two remnants reconstituted as separate teams.  They are now the two finalists competing against each other to win the project. 
 
We have met with both teams.  We are familiar with their proposals.  And as we described previously, and we can say it again, based on what we are seeing so far, there is a potential for a very bright future for our harbor.  We intend to remain engaged with both teams, to offer our review and input as they refine their plans through the County review process, and by the time the final decision goes before the Orange County Board of Supervisors in the fall, we hope and intend to get fully behind one of these teams and champion their selection by the County.  While maintaining the confidentiality entrusted in us, we will keep you posted as we proceed towards this big decision on the future of our harbor.
 
In other news, tonight the OC Parks Commission will discuss two big topics affecting our harbor.  First, they will be presented with an update on the Harbor Revitalization proposals as we described above (you got it first here).  And they will be reviewing and considering a plan for improved community oversight of our harbor that we recently proposed to the County.  We will be there to support the proposal and will provide you with all the details following the meeting.  Look for another newsletter from us by this time tomorrow.  Much more to come...

MISSION STATEMENT
 
The Dana Point Boaters Association advocates the preservation, enhancement, and expansion of affordable recreational boating resources.  We work to improve the family friendly atmosphere and breadth of water-oriented actives we all enjoy in the harbor.  We serve as the watchdog by ethically protecting the rights of all boaters and representing them when collective action is most effective.  We actively gather information and communicate our views to educate boaters, external interests, and public officials.  We build and maintain constructive, working relationships to achieve common goals with other harbor stakeholders.  We will pass on our harbor to the next generation of recreational boaters in better condition than it is today.
