Scott espe- cially commended North Bay Historical Society member Bonnie Knight for her efforts to secure permits needed for the over-water structure. permanent location over the water along the sound. During Monday's update, Murray noted that Gov. Inslee still has to sign the budget into law, but the gov- ernor can only veto entire sec- tions at this point. She said it would be unlikely for him to do so for the section concern- ing the oyster house. well for proj last structure of its kind still standing in the Puget Sound area. It was there that workers cleaned, sorted and shucked oysters, and local organizations are working to not only restore the facility, but also turn it into an inter- active exhibit with live crus- taceans. But before anything else, crews need to stabilize the building's foundations and prepare it to be moved to its Art Anderson Associates pre- sented last year to the board, the total cost of the restora- tion would be about $712,000. That leaves $334. O00 in es- timated costs in the future. Justin said the organiza- tion was glad to hit the high- water mark for the budget re- quest, meaning it secured the full amount requested for both the port and historical society.

But, lawmakers reached. an agreement before submit- ting the final version to the governor's office and adjourn- ing April 28. ,Justin said all of Mason County's state elected offi- cials, including Rep. Drew MacEwen Ead Sen. Tim Shel- don, were helpful in prioritiz- ing the restoration, but Rep. Dan Griffey especially took the project to heart. "He was a huge champion for you guys and the commu- nity," Justin said. "It was a fun project to work on." Justin said. "It has a small community feel, and it's a good building that has a lot of support in the commu- nity and with the historical society. You guys helped us be successful." As Honeywell looks to next year, Justin said it will be more difficult to seek funding in the second half of the bud- get biennium. But he said the staff looks forward to work- ing with the port during the downtime to figure out what needs to happen next to main- tain the project'smomentum. Port commissioners touched on how they will pro- vide the matching funds for an previously allocated Washing- ton State Historical Society's Heritages Capital Projects grant. They would not be able to use the State funding to cov- er the port's grant match. Port executive director Lary Coppola recommended the port use what on-hand cash is available, then look to its Industrial Development District (IDD) fund. Through the IDD, the port can collect tax revenue for specific proj- ects.

Coppola said the port reached a dead end in communicating with the insurance company and had reached out to its legal representation, Foster Pepper, to decide how to proceed. He said the port scheduled'a diver of its own to inspect the dock on and commissioners decided to wait for that report before taking further legal action. Coppola advised the board that if it sued Enduris and lost, the cost could be as much as fixing the dock. "They feel this is a bogus denial at best, but un- less Enduris is wilting to negotiate, we may be stuck with the cost of the entire repair until the matt-er is settled -- perhaps in court," Coppola said. "This hapr pened in January, and Enduris has delayed dealing with it, so I have asked the attorney to include lost moorage revenue as part of our claim since we are losing most of boating season This may become a- negotiating point if we canget Enduris to the table." Until that portion of the dock is fixed, it remains closed. The board said it would consider holding a special meeting this month, depending on the re- sults of the diver's inspection. The Port of Allyn's North Shore dock was damaged in January, and a portion ofit remains closed until it can be repaired.
