About the San Mateo County Harbor District:
The San Mateo County Harbor District was first established in 1933 and now operates both Pillar Point Harbor and Oyster Point Marina and Park. Pillar Point remains a major commercial and sport fishing harbor, with 369 berths and is host to many public events throughout the year.
The District began operating Oyster Point Marina/Park in 1977. It then completed construction of docks, a new breakwater, and onshore facilities during the 1980’s. Now with ferry service to other points on San Francisco Bay, Oyster Point Marina/Park provides a 455-berth marina and boat launch ramp, a fishing pier, a 33 acre park with hiking and jogging trails, picnic facilities and a 2.5 acre sandy beach.
The District is governed by a five member Board of Harbor Commissioners, who are elected County-wide for staggered four-year terms.
I had requested both Supervisors Carole Groom and Don Horsley to recuse themselves from agenda item 7.
The obvious reason for Don Horsley is that his son is a Deputy with San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, The other is he used to be our Sheriff and he is to involved with their operation. He declined to recuse himself and proceeded to do something that wasn’t on the agenda.
2:23;30 mark
