Old Business

1. Commercial use of town land – discussion and possible decision

This covered under the following agenda item.

2. Marina ordinance – discussion and possible decision

The draft ordinance was reviewed by the board.  It was questioned if delinquent payment

of building leases should be included.  This will be addressed with the town’s attorney.

It was discussed keeping the commercial part of the transient ordinance separate from

the marina ordinance, so that it would be possible to issue a fine for each ordinance.  This

could help to increase compliance.   The fine would be per incidence.
