New Business: Rex M. presented a letter to the Selectmen about proposed mooring rates with no recommendation. This letter gave an analysis of current rate structure and options including the system currently in use in Dartmouth. This consists of a $50 Mooring Permit plus a Waterways Use Permit for Residential and Non-Residential users according to vessel length. A consensus of the Harbor Committee revealed that members wanted a one fee system.

Motion: Scholl moved that the HC recommend to the Selectmen the following:

 

Boat Class             Fee

=< 16 feet             $50

> 16 feet                $100

> 20 feet                $125

> 30 feet                $175

> 40 feet                $200

 

Seconded: M. Cote

Vote: 5-0-0

 

Harbor Plan status: Appendix A in progress and will take longer than expected according to Marty.

Appendix B desperately needs to be revised. Need to provide a clear indication what each property projects as a public benefit. A minimum value such as: bench, light and trash barrel. If configuration of the property doesn’t allow this then these benefits are to be placed at some public location in town and documented.

Appendix C the formula needs clarification if possible.

Motion: M. Huey accept minutes of 1-3-07 as typed.

Seconded: P. Scholl

Vote: 4-0-0
