Council approves LinxLog mooring-management contract pending solicitor review
Loading...
Summary
The council voted to authorize a contract with LinxLog to manage mooring, dock wait lists and payments through a public online system; council discussed fees to users and a small one‑time setup charge and approved the contract pending solicitor sign‑off.
The Warren Town Council approved contracting with LinxLog to manage town moorings, dock slips and wait lists using an online system that processes payments and maintains up‑to‑date rosters.
A staff presenter described interviews with two vendors and recommended LinxLog for its feature set and references from Newport and Block Island. The system will require a modest user fee (discussed in the transcript as around $5–$7 per transaction) and a one‑time setup/build fee paid by the vendor or users; staff said implementation should take four to six weeks with the first payment cycle beginning the following season.
Councilors said the system will streamline paperwork and reduce staff follow‑up; the presenter noted the vendor will block payments until required documents such as insurance and vessel registration are uploaded. The council approved the contract motion with the proviso that the contract be finalized pending solicitor approval.
Next steps: solicitor review and signature of the contract; staff to onboard the system and coordinate fee structure prior to the next mooring cycle.
