November 18th at 4:30am at !he Utility Offices SUBJECT: Continue with Article IV (Moorin!! Records and Transient Moorin!!s and Guestsl The Committee began with a review of pennit renewal. and moorine vacancies and relocations. The Committee decided to keep text conceming penuit holders temporariJy without a boat and insert that text under Mooring Applications. Because pennits are reviewed and renewed on an annual basis, the Committee agreed it was unnecessaI)' to address relocation of moorings specifically in the ordinance (other than in the policy statement at the beginning of Article IV). Any . mid-season requests would be directed to the Fishers Island Harbor Committee. The Committee agreed that the text on new reqnests for mooring pemuts was redlllJdant and should be removed. The annual process for applying for a mooring penuit is the sanle for everyone regardless of whether or not a current holder or new applicant The Committee discussed forfeiture of mooring space and agreed to keep text as it appeared in the Old Lyme ordinance with appropriate date changes. The text indicates that pennit holders havre 30 days to comply with Bay Constable requests regarding disrepair of moorings, it was agreed that this timeff3l11e provided a guideline and need not be rigorously adhered to. A pOltion of text addressing refusal of moorinl! space was added to this text on forfeiture. The Committee discussed abandolllllent of moorings and detemlined that a pemut holder abandons hislher mooring space, he/she must remove mooring tackle or pay for removal. All additional item concenling moving moorings at applicant's expense was included in the Old Lyme ordinance. It was detemlined by the Committee to insert this text somewhere in the FI ordinance. The Committee went on to discuss mooring pennit waiting lists. It was detennined that the Bay Constable would maintain the list and make it available. The list would be compiled of all . . . . " unaccommodated persons seeking a mooring pennit indicating whether such person is a resident, lessee or off island applicant and the date/year of application. Applicants need to reapply on an annual basis to preserve place on waiting list. As mooring space becomes available, preference would be given to residents. The Committee briefly discussed moorin!! specifications and detennined that a subcommittee would have to develop minimum mooring specifications for the Fishers Island Harbor Committee. The Committee reviewed previous discussion on mooring inspections and Frank BoWen suggested that mooring tackle be reviewed on an annual basis rather than eveI)' two years as tackle can, on occasion, fail vel)' quickly. The Committee agreed and the text was amended to reflect as such. An annual visual inspection form (complete with tackle drawing) signed by person who conducted inspection would be fJied with annual mooring applications. Steve Malinowski suggested that a summary of protocols (how the system works) be included in the ordinance as well as a general policy statement. The Committee agreed. The meeting adjourned at 6:30pm.
