Many suggestions for different fee increases and uses of the fees.
Here's a novel idea. How about we figure out how to deal with the problem without another fee? I'm sure there is a fee in there somewhere that was originally put in place 20 years ago to deal with a similar issue. The issue was resolved but the fee remains. This is how we keep digging ourselves in deeper and deeper.
I am a waterfront owner and very concerned about milfoil. But I don't want to see yet another fee added to deal with it. The bureaucracy is big enough already. It's time to trim it somewhere else if we want to add another service.
