Legislative Committee October 2011
At three locations, at the boat-launch site by the Waterford dam, at the DNR launch site upstream near the Iron Bridge, and at the River City Marina, there are large signs summarizing the Town and Village of Waterford boating ordinances. Below them are brochure boxes for housing more details on these ordinances.
The brochure boxes were in very bad shape, mostly due to the initial boxes having been overlaid by layers which could not withstand the weather, and became illegible. One box was broken. To make the story short, new brochure boxes were ordered, and installed on 2011-9-6. These feature weatherproof title at the top: “Free brochures”, with a transparent window showing the contents. The new brochure boxes are much more attractive. (Photos were emailed to all Commissioners.) At Dick Kosut’s suggestion, the order included a spare.
Addendum, as of 2011-10-12: Probably due to the more attractive boxes, we now run out of brochures more quickly. Some boxes were already running low on 2011-9-17, when at Dick Kosut’s suggestion, about 20 surplus copies were picked up from the police station; 7 were left there. The rest were distributed to the sites near the Iron Bridge and near the dam; on 2011-9-19, a total of 14 was left at each of these sites.
As I knew we would run short, I ran off 21 copies on blue paper kindly furnished by the Town of Waterford police station. Upon checking today, the box near the Iron Bridge was empty, and I left 11. The box near the dam had one left, and I inserted 9. The box at the River City Marina was OK, with 18 left. For the rest of this year, I will keep the boxes from going empty by running off more copies on my copy machine. For next year, we should order more from Minuteman Press.
