Residents say dredging disrupted Kennebunk mooring field; harbormaster, board liaison promise talks with contractor
Summary
Seven community members told the Kennebunk River Committee they were strongly dissatisfied with alleged disruption of the mooring field after dredging on the Kennebunkport side. Harbormaster Jamie Houtz and Select Board liaison Miriam Whitehouse said they would pursue remedies with the dredge contractor and the town manager.
Seven members of the public raised strong complaints about disruption to the mooring field after dredging work had been done for several marinas on the Kennebunkport side of the Kennebunk River.
The meeting minutes record those complaints but do not quote individual speakers or list names for the public commenters. The allegations centered on perceived disruption to the mooring field following dredge work; the transcript does not include technical details, photos, or a contractor response.
Jamie Houtz, Harbormaster and staff liaison, and Miriam Whitehouse, Kennebunk Select Board liaison, told the committee they would initiate remedial talks with the dredge contractor and the town manager. The transcript records the committee liaisons' pledge to seek a remedy but gives no timeline or specific remedial steps.
The committee recorded the public concern in its minutes; the transcript does not show any formal motion, vote, or contractor statement during this meeting. The matter appears to be left to follow-up discussions between town officials and the dredge contractor.
