* COOKIN' *
the city council and members ot the
Nueces ( ounly Parks Board on March
5
It s out water and your pier, and
we want your input,'' Mayor Jim
Sherrill told parks board members
County Parks Director Frank Rios
encouraged the city to adopt the 100
loot restric tion used at Boh Hall Pier
on Padre Island Rios said the I(K>
loot restriction works well because it
"gives us something to fall back on it
there is a problem"
City Manager l orn Brooks said that
the only serious altercation in the past
l tve years was between two fishermen
and did no! involve surfers
( ounctl members Scott Slubblefield
and Mike Cortez said laws already
exist to handle any problems Disor
derly conduct and destruction of pri
vale propcity were among those they
named
Goldsmith noted dial many piers
throughout the state function without
restrictions on surfing and as a result
fishermen and surfers gel along well
■‘Everyone I've talked to would like
to give sorters and fishermen ihc op
|H>mimty to gel along," Goldsmith said
at the ]oinl meeting, adding that re-
search shows there are many piers
where surfing and fishing are allowed
and the relationship between the two
is harmonious
Goldsmith, in one of her final acts
as a city councilwoman since her ten-
ure on the council ends in May, won
over the majority of the council to
make surfing hy the pier legal
Approval ot the amendment was
met by applause from the surfers who
had relumed to citv hall to support the
change.
