Town of Phippsburg 2012 Annual Report

2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Harbor Commission Report
In 2012, the Harbor Commission purchased a new outboard for the town boat. It has been
installed and the Harbor Master reports it is running great. We would like to thank the Town for
this wise investment and look forward to many years of service from it. Also, the Fire Department
contributed funds from their budget towards the new outboard and the boat is available to
them in an emergency situation. The Harbor Commission would like to thank the Fire Department
for this cost sharing and, also, for the winter storage of the town boat in the building adjacent
to the Fire Department.
At the latest count, the Town of Phippsburg has 877 moorings. In 2012, the Harbor Commission
ordered new bright red stickers to put on mooring balls that are not registered or do not
have the mooring number clearly displayed. "Stickering" will begin in 2013. As a reminder, existing
moorings need to be re-registered every 4 years and there is no charge for town residents.
We ask that everyone register their moorings and have their mooring number clearly written
on the mooring ball.
Respectfully submitted,
