New Business
1. Rental mooring discussion:
Jim will provide a list of who actually has registered the 127 rental
moorings at the next meeting. Motion made by Bill Blood, 2nd by Len
Duda, not to allow rental moorings except for licensed marinas and boat
yards. Old approved rental moorings can be grandfathered. Motion passed
unanimously.
2. Moorings registered but
not used: "One Boat – One Mooring" rule applies, especially where the
harbor is closed. Requirements for registration: Must own a boat; must
use the mooring within 30 days; must have registration number displayed
on mooring ball or boat; must provide GPS coordinates.
3. Update priority list: Need
to categorize what kind for mooring definitions Harpswell should have?
We will need to revise the ordinance and application. We ran out of time
to complete this discussion.
