Harbor superintendent reports on mooring audits, Dockwa fee proposal and database turnover

Harbor Superintendent Peter Anderson presented the June 2026 report to the Five Mile River Commission, outlining multiple operational items for the river and town docks.

Anderson described transition-related work to turn over the dock and mooring databases and reported ongoing 2026 mooring audits intended to reconcile records for mooring users and private dock owners. He also noted the Commission is considering upgrading its Dockwa account to a "variable status" that would assess a 15% fee on gross transient boat revenue in exchange for Dockwa’s reservation and accounting services. Anderson discussed current boater access to the Town dock and several potential alternative sites for launching dinghies; no changes to access policy or approvals were recorded in the minutes.

The minutes record the Superintendent’s operational briefings but do not show a Commission vote or directive to implement the Dockwa fee change, finalize database turnover procedures, or adopt new dinghy-launch policy. The topics were presented for information and discussion; next steps and responsible parties were not specified in the meeting record.
