| AGENDA POSTED FOR FISH & BOAT COMMISSION WINTER MEETING |
| January 11, 2007 |
 |
| The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will hold its winter quarterly meeting January 22-23 at agency headquarters, 1601 Elmerton Avenue in Harrisburg. Commission committees will meet beginning at approximately 9:45 a.m. on Monday, January 22, and again at 8 a.m on Tuesday, January 23. The full Commission will meet for formal consideration of the agenda beginning at 1 p.m. on Tuesday. All committee meetings and the review of the agenda are open to the public and attendance is encouraged.
Among the items to be considered at the meeting are grant applications as part of the Commission’s Boating Facility Grant Program and acquisition of a 19-acre parcel of land in Fairview Township, Erie County. The potential acquisition, which includes 900 feet of stream frontage along Walnut Creek, a popular steelhead fishing destination, is proposed to be funded from a special account funded by the sale of Lake Erie Fishing Permits. Proposals that would expand existing regulations that mandate lifejacket use to certain small boats will also be discussed. A proposed prohibition on transporting live fish out of the Lake Erie drainage will be introduced.
A complete agenda for the meeting and schedule of events can be found on the Agendas & Minutes section of the Commission’s web site. |
