<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The Oregon State Marine Board met in Salem on April 18, and approved a new rule for Lake Billy Chinook, corrected a prior meeting’s rule language error, approved
Cycle Two boating facility grants and gave agency staff direction for their 2019-2021 budget and legislative fee concept.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1D2129">Chair Val Early announced at the beginning of the meeting that Member Cliff Jett (Rufus, OR) was stepping down from the Board. Jett joined the Board
in 2013 and was serving his second term. Chair Early thanked him for all of his time and experience on the Board, as well as the on-the-ground representation he provided to eastern Oregon’s recreational boaters. The Board hopes replace his seat with someone
with as much wisdom and insights as Member Jett from the eastern Oregon. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1D2129"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1D2129">For the first two agenda items, the Board approved a slow-no wake zone within the Fly Creek Inlet on Lake Billy Chinook. The Board also corrected
language for the Foam Encapsulation rule that was mistakenly stricken during the March meeting and will allow for some types of non-treated wood.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1D2129"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1D2129">The Board also considered 20 boating facility grant requests. Over $3.5 million in needs were identified with only $1.8 million available for 2017-2019
funding. The needs exceed available funding by 3:1. Grants were scored and ranked based on applicant matching funds, permit status, and the ability to complete a project within the biennium. Several grant requests were excellent examples of what could be
considered in the future under a proposed Waterway Access Program to improve access for paddlers; however, the priority for facility funding goes toward motorized boating access projects.
