Manager's Report: Paul Bauter submitted a written report outlining activities for the month of July.

Under Urbana a lengthy discussion concerning a "residential vessel" moored to a dock ensued. It appears to be a new situation and whether building codes or navigation law applies to the situation is in question. Also implications for the dockings and moorings law were discussed. At present KWIC is exploring regulations with NYSDEC, NYSDOH, and the Sheriffs Department. His report also showed the number of inspections in each municipality and reported that 5 construction permits had been issued for a year to date total of 41.

As yet we do not have an intern to complete entering of certain data in the reporting system.
