D. General Issue
Discussion about the electrical repair at the marina by Murphy and what problems will be corrected. The pump out vessel was brought up and discussed. Murphy stated that during the initial research into a vessel, the only ones that have been found are impractical for the needs of the area. Murphy stated that he feels that it's a very serious problem that really needs to be looked at, but is unrealistic that this will happen in the very near future. Discussion continued, ending with looking into alternative measures for reducing the unlawful discharge of waste into the waters by visiting boaters.
Bromage asks how the mooring registrations were coming. Murphy stated that they were looking very good.
