Harbormaster Briefs Board on Boat Motor and Traffic Island Work
Five noteworthies from Marblehead.
The harbormaster told members of the Harbors and Waters Board on Monday that after he and Town Administrator Jeff Chelgren reviewed Superior Landscaping's plan for landscaping at the State Street traffic island he contracted with Superior to complete the island make-over.
Harbormaster Webb Russell also told the board that the state would pay 75 percent of the cost to buy a new outboard motor for the pumpout boat, what with the existing engine's failure. The town will pay $2,249 of the total cost: $8,999. The state will reimburse the town for $6,749.Â
