Gilford Dock Owners losing access to Glendale Launch Ramp

[Rich]

Gilford (condo) Dock Owners, an important public hearing with the Gilford Board of Selectmen is happening TONIGHT (Wednesday 5/24/23) at the Town hall at 7 PM to remove your ability to use the Glendale Facilities (the boat launch ramp)!

If you can't make the meeting, please be SURE to email or call the Gilford Selectmen early as possible TODAY! Their phone number is 603-527-4700, but perhaps an email is better: selectmen@gilfordnh.org

They will be discussing the proposal to remove access to the Glendale Facilities to those that own a dock (slip).

If you have a boat and only own a slip (e.g.: MVYC, Gilford Yacht Club, Glendale Yacht Club), they are proposing that you will lose access to use the Launch Ramp at Glendale!

Here's the link to the notice about the hearing.

You need to open the two links to read the details.

Here is a link to the proposed amendments to the Glendale regulations:

The TLDR is that you must reside at your property to be allowed to use the Glendale Facilities. And there is no consideration of those that may own live-aboard boats.

So Gilford taxpayers that own a boat and need to use the ramp to get their boat(s) in and out of the lake may not use the Glendale Ramp. Yet thousands of other Gilford taxpayers that may not even own a boat can still use the Glendale launch ramp.

FYI If you don't know this they already removed your access to the Gilford town beach in a previous meeting this year.
