ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Whale Harbor Channel sandbar receives extensive activity, particularly on several weekends of the year.
Part of improving safety in this area was the approval of the Whale Harbor Flats Combustion Vessel Exclusion

or events. Village Manager Charles Baldwin is requesting assistance from the Commission to offset the cost of
overtime for sheriffs officers tasked during the upcoming "Bartender's Week" event. Mr. Baldwin estimates
the overtime costs for the two days that the event is held on the sandbar to be approximately $4,500. Funds will
