MINUTES FROM THE MEETING
JOHN BISHOP CALLED MEETING TO ORDER AT 6:00 P. M.
MOTION TO APPROVE MINUTES FROM THE DECEMBER 8, 2003 MEETING BY LEE HARRIS, SECONDED BY BUD FINCH. UNAM.
DISCUSSIONS WERE HELD ON THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
MOTION WAS MADE BY LEE HARRIS TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL THE REAPPOINTMENT OF ERIC VOISINE AS HARBOR MASTER. SECONDED BY CHARLIE LEPPIN. UNAM.
ERIC RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MAINE HARBOR ASSOCIATION WITH COURSE DATES FOR THE MANDATORY HARBORMASTER’S COURSE THIS SPRING. THE COURSE DATE IS APRIL 14 THROUGH 17. ALSO, INFORMATION ABOUT THE 100 COURSE FOR POLICE RESERVE. HE IS CONSIDERING GOING TO THAT ALSO.
FRED MOORE PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO CHARGES OF CIVIL AND CRIMINAL TRESPASSING. MORE PAPER WORK IS REQUIRED ON THE CANADIAN BOAT THAT IS IN THE INNER BASIN FROM THE BORDER PATROL BUT WILL HAVE TO BE RELEASED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. ERIC IS GETTING THAT INFO FOR THE ATTORNEY.
BRUCE MCINNIS’ BOAT IS OUT OF THE WATER. RUTH MCINNIS WOULD LIKE TO SUBLEASE THE SPOT UNTIL JUNE 30TH, 2004. SHE UNDERSTOOD THAT WHOMEVER SUBLEASED IT WOULD BE ENTITLED TO THE SPOT PERMANENTLY. IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT IF SOMEONE’S LIVELIHOOD WAS DEPENDENT UPON THAT SPOT OR IF A FAMILY MEMBER WANTED TO TAKE OVER THE SPOT IT SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND THE ORDINANCE AMENDED. BOB RILEY’S BOAT IS IN THE SAME SITUATION. MATTER TABLED UNTIL NEXT MEETING.
THE OIL CONTAINER HAS BEEN PUMPED AND ERIC MADE REPAIRS TO THE FILL CAP. THE TOP CRADLE WAS REMOVED AND CONSIDERED BY ERIC TO BE NOT NEEDED. WITH SOME ADDITIONAL REPAIRS, IT WILL HOLD FOR NOW. LONG TERM WE NEED TO LOOK AT REPLACING THE CONTAINER AND FIND A SECURE PLACE TO PUT IT. A COMPARABLE ONE FOR REPLACING IT WOULD BE A 385-GALLON AT A COST OF $1635.
THE HOIST REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED. NEW HOSES, OIL AND FILTER HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AROUND CHRISTMAS THAT WAS CORRECTED ALSO. ERIC SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL AND FILTER BE REPLACED AGAIN THIS SPRING.
ERIC REPORTED THAT HE IS GETTING SOME BIDS IN FOR THE FLOATS AND RAMP FOR THE INNER BASIN.
NEXT MONTHS MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 9 AT 6:00 PM UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTIFIED.
MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7:00 P. M. BY GREG BISS. SECONDED BY CHARLIE LEPPIN
UNAM.
