Marina Boss Goes on the Record

  This interview was conducted via email, with Marina Manager Mark Sandoval responding to questions posed by the BOA board of directors

Question: What is your estimate of when the rebuild of Basin 4 in the Alamitos Bay Marina will start?

 Answer: I am still holding out hope that we will start the rebuild of ABM in mid- to late-2010.

Q: What is preventing the rebuild from starting?

A: Rebuilding the marina is a multi-phased endeavor. The first is to identify the design and the cost of the rebuild. The second is to obtain permits for the rebuild from the vari¬ous regulatory agencies. The third is to identify and secure funding for the rebuild. We are working on all three simul-taneously, since they are all related.   Full Article

By Carl Kirnbauer
BOA Executive VP

You may remember that some of the gangways on ABM were without water early in July. It turns out that most gangways fac¬ing the Seaport Marina Hotel were affected. Marine Maintenance posted all the effective restrooms, in advance, that the water was going to be shut off. That meant no showers, no toilets and no sinks. However, to mitigate the inconvenience, Marine Maintenance had portable toilets brought in, complete with hand-washing facilities. Full Article
