CTE fisheries program spent $80,000 on flume engineering, now fundraising to cover repairs
Summary
Steve Porter told the board the CTE fisheries program has spent about $80,000 on engineering for a flume project and is facing chlorine-related problems; the program is running multiple fundraisers and invited board members to a WARF meeting Sept. 1.
Steve Porter updated the board on investments in the district’s CTE fisheries program, reporting that the program has spent roughly $80,000 on engineering work related to a flume project and is now encountering problems with chlorine management that complicate operations.
Porter described a shift in his responsibilities and said he would not continue in a prior role; the program has launched three fundraisers to cover unexpected costs, including a community 'Crab Grab' organized in part by Brian Bigelow and local volunteers, plus a bingo fundraiser. Porter invited board members to the WARF board meeting on Sept. 1 to review program needs and next steps.
The program’s engineering costs and ongoing operational issues prompted a sense of urgency from Porter; he asked the board to be aware of the challenges as the program seeks durable solutions.
