I have one short one, Chair, if you don't mind.

My question is with regard to the abandoned boats program. There seems to be a belief within a few of my municipal units that if they apply for funding for the assessment, they then are committed to going forward with the project, even if they don't know how much it's going to cost. As a result, they're hesitant to apply, because they feel that if they accept the $5,000 to do the assessment, they are then responsible for going ahead whether they can afford the rest of it or not.

Can you comment on whether that's actually the case?
