What's up with Fish Buying Fees?
On April 21, 2014, I requested the 2013 Fish Buying Fee data. I wanted to review fee revenue collected monthly under the new 2012 Fish Buying lease agreements. 2013 was the first full year fish buying fees were required under the new lease agreements.
On May 21, 2014, I received the Harbor District's fourth revised spreadsheet of 2013 Fish Buying fees collected. After receiving so much inconsistent information I'm not sure if I'm being provided with accurate data. Also, the fish buying fees collected (as noted in the most recent version of the District's spreadsheet) do not match the Fish & Game catch data. It appears the District has been significantly underpaid. I wonder why fish buying fees have not been collected accurately and why management did not alert the board about the problem?
On June 11, 2014 I received the Harbor District's fifth revised spreadsheet of 2013 Fish Buying fees collected and April/May 2014 fee worksheets.

"One change, it should read Pillar Point Fishery, not Pillar Point Seafood."
