<br />made by Gregg Fraser to approve the total funds available to the Harbormaster account from <br />$25,000 to $38,000. The motion was seconded by Don MacDonald. All Commission members <br />present were polled individually. Yes votes to approve were recorded from: Gregg Fraser, Dick <br />Noonan, Don MacDonald and Steve Mone (via phone). A "No" vote was recorded from Ken <br />Bates. The motion was thereby passed on a vote of 4 "yes" and 1 "no". <br /> <br />Jeff led a discussion on mooring fees for the upcoming season. He presented data that showed <br />fees charged by all relevant Cape Cod towns. His conclusion was that Mashpee's fees were on <br />average higher than other Cape Cod towns and that our current fees were adequate for next <br />season and he recommends no rate change. All present agreed with his conclusion. <br /> <br />Following the mooring fee update DNR, along with Catherine Laurent (who joined later in the <br />meeting for this discussion only), led a discussion about dinghy storage, fees, and the <br />installation of new dinghy tie up posts along the top of the rip rap on the Seconsett Island <br />causeway. Catherine's concern from a DPW perspective is that she needs a dinghy tie up <br />solution before she installs a new guard rail for the road in the area used for storage. As <br />previously noted dinghies are now simply tied to the guard railing. The discussion covered the <br />proposed solution of posts, the number of posts needed to serve the registered dinghies, the <br />fees to be charged and any concerns about Town liability if the area now becomes a designated <br />storage area. It was decided that this discussion would be tabled until the next meeting. <br /> <br />Waterways Improvement Plans: No report <br /> <br />LR/GR Expansion Project: Dick reported that: 1).
