2. Boat Storage:  The majority of boat owner’s storing boats on the parklands have acquired their 2013 boat registration stickers, over 170 in all.  All others not in compliance were given multiple notices to let the owners know of the new regulations.  Boats were tagged with a notice in early July and again in August.  Any boats that had PLCC tags and could be tracked from PLCC records were sent a letter informing them they still had a boat on the parkland.  Boats not in compliance with town code will be impounded on October 5th and 6th.  Efforts will also be made to inform the residents that all boats must be removed from the parkland for the winter months by December 1st including multiple notices in local newspapers.  Dates for impounding any remaining boats was set for December 7th and 8th.  As a courtesy, the park district will be offering assistance to any resident who need help removing their boat on Boat Removal Day, November 16th.  Anyone interested in volunteering to help may contact the Park Advisory Board.
