Most of the information contained within this copy is also present in the January 3, 2017 copy of the site, but this copy includes annual boat inspection program reports (2014-2019), proposed revisions to stormwater management regulations, newer meeting minutes (2017-2019), and an updated list of upcoming events (2020).

Researchers should note that, owing to the structure of the live site and the limitations of Web archiving technology, only some of the meeting minutes could be captured properly. However, using the Filter option on the Commission Meetings page will provide access to some, but not all, additional minutes.
