AQenda Item #1 - Mooring Placements Ben Glidden informed the Committee that six moorings had been placed without permission before he came to work. They were placed in the wrong locations . Some were not put in at the owners request and therefore were not licensed. The Committee discussed the possibility of putting out an RFP to set moorings instead of having Bob Twitchell and Mike Delong just putting them in anywhere and for people who haven't paid. Jim Ring said all we have in a map and perhaps we need to get some reference points to avoid this problem in the future. � The Committee felt next year something different should be done. It was decided that Ben, Jim Rinq and Rod McKay would get together and notify Bob Twitchell to correct the situation.
