The No parking signs: code enforcement will now go around and enforce. They will start with warnings. It is in the works.
If people do not have a personal driveway the Town needs to deal with how they handle those people’s cars.
Boat tags – Pat spoke to Antoinette and Discount Label is the place for the stickers and Oriental Trading for bracelets. What color? Bracelets and stickers are the same color. All boats need a sticker. Enforce it all season. Tag the boats and then remove them.

Vines and Trees: Hank to get some prices – chip and/or take away. What look do we want? We will not cut any good trees. Just get rid of fallen dead trees. But only cut a tree or prune it for the health of the tree.
Boats: 6 or 7 boats in the boat house. Antoinette will send out the legal notice. Take the boats – after 30 days, post public legal notice 60 days later, auction? Do we need pictures? What are the guidelines? Pat will find out the proper protocol.
