A token amount, like parking meters might be better received. The goal should be to increase the efficiency of use, not to be punitive.

My idea was a way to come up with the money to expand the docks that some people feel are inadequately-sized (the original subject of this thread). Since the town did not want to pay for it with tax revenue out of the general fund, charging those that use the docks during busy times a little fee seems like a logical solution.
My experience on Sunday at "newspaper and doughnuts o'clock" has been that the docks are not at all busy, so under my plan, there would not be anyone collecting money and you would still dock for free.
