It was decided to get further clarification in the spring and pass on to her the proper procedure for posting. Rich Santangelo noted a letter should be written to the Police Dept. informing them of the posting and requesting enforcement. A police officer would have to enforce the law with harbormaster's help to get out to the island. Conclusions: Dave Sampson will update us again next spring on the posting of the islands.
