R2
The large boat traveling mobile hoist pier should be extended into deeper water so that large craft can be hauled and launched on a regular basis even if that requires expenditure of District funds.
F3
The end of the large mobile hoist pier is in relatively shallow water which makes it difficult, often times impossible, to haul or launch large craft. Potential customers could be lost and potential income to the District may be lost as a result. Defined in Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary as “a fee without any restriction to any class of heirs or restrictions on transfer of ownership.”

R8
The District should provide more financial report detail. It should list such assets such as each pier, each building and each major piece of equipment. In the revenue and expenditure statement, it should provide specific income and expense lines for the parking lot in Avila Beach and each concession. Annual District budgets also should each contain corresponding line items.
F9
District balance sheets, income and cash flow statements only provide a general picture by using broad categories and avoiding specifics. The budgets for income and expenses do not each include a line item for the Avila Beach parking lot.
