ECC has full authority for mooring placement but needs to follow the boat mooring request procedure approved in 2022 The board will not be involved moving forward.
The ECC will make maintenance and contract decisions on behalf of the community.
- Maintenance decisions will be supported by contractor advice, community need, and highest and best use of funds.
- Contract decisions will be made with existing contractors based on cost and need.
The ECC will ask for an advisory vote from the community on tasks that are not considered maintenance or contract decisions (i.e. projects based on an individual’s preference and not backed by need or maintenance). The ECC will consider the results of the vote and input from contractors, if appropriate, before moving forward with a final decision.
