Due to holdups in transport related to the earthquake the accounts were not available for the AGM.
Below are both the draft minutes and the accounts as pdf files.
Draft_AGM_KBC_2017Hi All,
We have issues at all three of our facilities.
As a committee we are interested in any proposals as to how to deal with them.
We need to extend the ramp at South bay.
Three major suggested ways at present:
1/ Build a coffer damn, pump out water, box and pour in place extending the extra 10m plus covering about 7m of the existing ramp which has some damaged sections. Costed at about $70K
2/ Cut out an repair only the damage sections, box up and pour the extension in the existing ramp, then slide it into place on plastic sliders with digger assist. Uncosted – need a costing.
3/ Cut out damaged areas as in 2, but rather than pouring the entire extension, precast the extension in sections offsite, bring them in and lift them into place with a digger, then pump concrete through holes in the castings to fix them in place. Uncosted – need a costing.
Fixing the new sets of five additional poles on each line and tying them into the sections of ramp at the same time would seem to be the most sensible approach. If you have contrary ideas please let us know what they are and why you prefer them, in as much detail as needed to get the idea across.
Any other suggestions please send to Ted (ted at fishnet.co.nz) and or Neil (stay at lobsterinn.co.nz) urgently.
The more fully costed they are the better.
Similarly at the Pier ramp on the North, and at the Oaro ramp.
Your committee is open to suggestions, and are particularly interested in suggestions from people with real practical experience doing similar jobs.
Letter from MPI:
Dear Fishers,
Your help is requested with the Kaikoura rock lobster (crayfish) tagging programme. As part of a wider survey within the earthquake response, over one thousand rock lobsters have been tagged for monitoring future growth rates and coastal migration.
If you catch a lobster with a tag located between the carapace (body) and tail could you please write down the location, depth, tag number and send that to larnce@burkhart-fish.co.nz, or drop the information off to the local MPI Compliance office. Fishers are encouraged to return any tagged rock lobsters to the sea so that more information may be collected on them into the future.
Collaboration between NZ RLIC, CRAMAC 5, MPI, NIWA and local commercial rock lobster fishers was key to mapping the situation and getting a fix on lobster status so quickly.
Please pass this request on to anyone who may be interested.
