VII. SCHEDULED MATTERS:
A. Veterans Day Program -This topic was not discussed due to no
quorum of the Veterans Affairs Council. Chairperson Wood was not
scheduled to be at the September Veterans Affairs Council meeting but
he was able to make it after all. Chairperson Wood discussed his recent
trip to Branson, Missouri and the Ships to Reefs Program. This
program provides an economically beneficial and environmentally
responsible way to dispose of ships that are no longer in use. The ship
he was on is a candidate for this program that sinks ships to create
artificial reefs in the oceans. The ships must first be cleaned and
prepared for sinking and this process costs anywhere from z to 6.5
million dollars to accomplish. There are four ships in the San Francisco
Bay that are leaking oil. There are three aircraft carriers in Washington
State that are currently scheduled to be destroyed. A super carrier on
the east coast will take the ships out to sea and sink them, if not, a
company will be paid to dispose of them. Dismantlers want the
Government to pay them to dismantle the ships. He took one side trip
to the Softball Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
