Do you oppose the $350/year increase in mooring buoy fees?

Do you oppose the $350/year increase in mooring buoy fees?

The Issue

1. Many of the fees in CLPB documents, charged to mooring buoys, appear arbitrary and padded

2. Most of the foreshore erosion is due to storms and any minor amount of errosion caused by boats is mostly caused by day use boaters not residents so why should resident boaters shoulder the majority of the cost?

3. All agree the docks are getting old and need maintenance but why not charge the sunbathers and swimmers for the major portion of the expense who use the docks more than boaters. Perhaps because the CLPB only has a list of mooring buoy owners so charging them is easy.

4. What value do mooring buoy owners get for the current $150.00? To be able to charge the CLPB had to get Nominal Tenure Lease from the Ministry of Lands, Forests and Natural Resource Operations at the cost of $1.

5. Current Residents have solved foreshore erosion on their own at minimal to zero cost. Why does the CLPB need a $300,000 budget for this. see picture.

6. If you don't have a buoy, this should still concern you. If the CLPB can do this for buoys, what else will they do it too. 7 years ago this situation was incomprehensible.
