The Slip Wait List, Slip Upgrade List
and Current Slip Holders List are now up to date and will be added to
the Piers and Harbors web pages as soon as possible.
I would like to ask for volunteers to
take on one week of marina security duty. This consists of locking
the gate after dark each evening and one walk through of the marina
during your week, to note lights that need replacing or anything else
you may notice that requires attention. Dean Montgomery heads up the
security committee and can be contacted via email at
marina@hillsmereshores.net.
In the future, we will be adding the volunteer schedule to the Piers
and Harbors web page. Please fee free to contact me if you have any
questions concerning the marina rules or volunteering for marina
security.
Now, thinking ahead to next year and
COME AND GET IT DAY, a friendly reminder: Every February, all SLIP
HOLDERS, current and new, will be asked to submit photo copies of
their boat title, current Maryland boat registration or USCG
Documentation, and boat insurance policy (including a minimum $100,000
liability coverage). ALL of these documents must bear the slip
holder’s name. If these documents bear more than one name, the slip
holder must submit a notarized statement, provided by HSIA, signed by
all individuals listed on the boat title, stating that the named
Hillsmere residents own a minimum of 50% interest in the boat. These
documents must be submitted along with the slip rent payment. No
payments will be accepted without the required documents. Any payment
that cannot be accepted by March 30 due to lack of any of these
documents may result in the loss of the slip.
All slip holders, current and new, and
all members of the Slip Wait List must be current members of HSIA.
This means that you must maintain a current HSIA membership throughout
the time that you hold a marina slip or have your name entered on the
Slip Wait List. Lack of HSIA membership will result in being dropped
from the Slip Wait List, so please make sure you are a member.
Additionally, Slip Wait List members will be required to sign up
EVERY YEAR for the Wait List. Failure to renew membership on the
Slip Wait List by Come And Get It Day will result in loss of current
position on the Slip Wait List.
Piers and Harbors Fees for the coming
year:
Dinghy
Rack $35 per year $5 per year increase
Ramp $40 per year NO CHANGE
Boat
Park $75 per year $10 per year increase
Slip Rental 2% increase
Please try to attend Come And Get It
Day and take care of your slip rental payments and slip wait list
re-registration at that time. Come And Get It Day is the easiest and
best way to make sure that you comply with the rules and guarantee
your continued slip privileges.
Marina Rules that apply to slip
payments, reassignments, and wait list changes can be found on the
Piers and Harbors web page under the Marina Rules Link or the left of
the page.
I look forward to serving as the Piers
and Harbors Chairman and look to you my neighbors to assist with Piers
and Harbors. In the next few months, I will be looking for Hillsmere
residents to participate on the Marina Rules Committee to review and
ensure that the current rules serve the needs and best interests of
the community.
