If directions given by the Harbor Master, with the approval of the
Village Manager, with respect to removing unauthorized moorings or
changing the location of existing moorings, shortening of mooring
chains, cables or ropes or with respect to other provisions of this
chapter are not complied with within 10 days after notice of such
direction has been given as herein provided, the Harbor Master, with
the approval of the Village Manager, may cause such moorings to be
removed or changed or may drop the same to the bottom. The cost of
such removal, change or dropping will be assessed against the owner
of the vessel, and an action therefor may be instituted in the Village
Court. Whenever the Harbor Master shall be unable to find the owner
of a vessel or mooring or any agent or person in possession, charge
or control thereof upon whom notice may be served, he shall address,
stamp and mail such notice, by certified mail, to such person at his
last known address and, in addition thereto, shall, during the notice
period, attach said notice to the subject vessel.
