Harbor Committee Minutes
Meeting: Wednesday September 10, 2008
City Harbormaster’s Office
Committee Members in Attendance: Richard Reinhard; Councilor Blanchette; Jim Ring, City Engineer; Daniel
Cassidy
Guests: Councilor Gerry Palmer; Councilor Harold Wheeler
I August Minutes: Accepted as distributed
II River Moorings:
i. The current moorings are limited in number. Their proximity to the Brewer shore requires
a boat to be suspended between two moorings to avoid being driven onto shore at low tide.
This is felt to be a significant limitation to their use.
ii. Despite this the moorings have been attracting some use despite their late placement and
limited publicity of their availability
A motion was passed unanimously to “Request the city council increase the
availability of moorings”.
This request will be formulated by Jim Ring and presented to the Council by Pat Blanchette.
.
III River History Project. – This is in progress under the direction of Committee Member, Rob Woods.
Discussion was tabled until the next meeting
IV Harbor Surveys – Surveys returned from some waterfront clients, as well as from meetings of local
boating groups were reviewed.
V Future Meetings - It has been suggested that future meetings be televised. The current meeting time is in
conflict with another committee meeting. Other potential meeting times will be considered by Jim Ring and
our Council Representative and circulated to the committee members to see if another meeting time is
acceptable to all.
