The Board of Commissioners of Galveston County Navigation District 1 discussed issues related to the collision of the vessel Balsa 59 with the Pelican Island Causeway on December 27, 2001. "Damages estimated from Galveston Waterways District were in excess of $200,000," said a report from the Coast Guard that was received during the meeting. Litigation is pending. The board discussed damage to lights warning motorists that bicyclists are on the Pelican Island Causeway. District Manager Frank Incaprera said that Texas A&M University at Galveston will not share in the cost of the repair, even though they were installed at the request of TAMUG. "Maybe
we ought to just leave it on the ground if they don't want
to help us," said Commissioner Al Choate.
"It's just for their students; it's not for us."
