This month’s meeting of the Dana Point Oversight Advisory Committee opened with Supervisor Foley setting the agenda for the session and sharing an overview of the discussions about slip fee increases. She responded to questions and explained the plan to present the rate options to the committee for input and feedback before issuing notices was thwarted when the Marina sent notices out in April. To avoid future communication failures, the DP Harbor Partners will meet every 2 weeks with CEO Real Estate and Supervisor Foley for progress and planning updates.

More than a year ago, Supervisor Foley invited Dana Point residents to a town hall meeting to bring transparency and clarity to the Dana Point Harbor revitalization. With that, Supervisor Foley hosted another Dana Point Harbor Oversight Town Hall at the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce’s Coffee Chat at Coffee Importers with the DPH Oversight and Advisory Committee and Dana Point City Councilmember Mike Frost, where they checked in with the local community about the project and slip rate fees.
