It was reported that Ms. Kimberly Kaar did not get her application in for North Cove deep water. She thought her husband mailed it in. The clerk spoke with Ms. Kaar and told her that this would have to be a decision for the Harbor Commission. North Cove Yacht Club sent in their application very late and the check was not signed.

At the end of another brief discussion, Mr. Bowman rescinded the second part of his motion as did Mr. Goduti rescind his second, and the first part of the motion approving Mr. Peske’s application was so VOTED unanimously.
