| Nothing Subject to the requirement that the municipal officers |
appoint a harbor master, nothing in this subchapter may be |
construed to be a limitation on the authority of municipalities |
to enact ordinances to regulate the assignment or placement of |
moorings and other activities in their harbors. These ordinances |
may include, but are not limited to: A process for assigning |
mooring privileges and determining the location of moorings; a |
waiting list for the assignment of mooring privileges; a fee |
schedule; construction standards for moorings; time limits on the |
mooring of vessels; a process for appeals from decisions of the |
harbor master; provisions that recognize that mooring privileges |
in lawful existence on the effective date of an ordinance may be |
preserved or continued after adoption of that ordinance, the |
location and use to be determined by the harbor master or other |
appropriate local authority; and provisions that establish a |
harbor commission or committee to administer the ordinance or |
ordinances and oversee the duties of the harbor master. |
Regulations adopted by the municipal officers under section 2 |
remain in effect unless the municipality's legislative body |
enacts an ordinance pertaining to the same matter pursuant to the |
Constitution of Maine, Article VIII, Part 2, and Title 30-A, |
section 3001. |
