TM – some community members saying we can’t collect fees because we haven’t in the past, but this is untrue.

TM – wants to confirm compliance will run as usual. KG confirms.

Question from community member Mark Wright – how can LOTW bill him for compliance on his board when the floating dock in the late that was an original draw to live her has been taken away? Board – that was a liability issue, and had to go because of insurance.
