RE: Amend Ordinance 19-7.1 Regarding Display of Boat Launch Permit
BACKGROUND
The current verbiage related to display of daily boat launch permit in City ordinance Section 19-7,1(B)
states:
The daily launching permit shall be prominently displayed on the interior of driver's side window
of the vehicle used to transport the boat to the launching site.
The boat launch permit hanger that is utilized is intended to be hung from the rear view mirror of the vehicle
based on its design as well as for better visibility by our Park Rangers. In addition,we have found that some
launch users do not complete the daily launch permit in its entirety with the requested information(make and
model of vehicle, license number, date of launch,etc.).
ANALYSIS
This amendment request is to clarify where the launch permit should be displayed, based on the permit
design and enforcement practices,as well as to clarify the need to complete the launch permit entirely. The
amendment states the daily launching permit shall be prominently displayed on the rear view mirror of the
vehicle used to transport the boat to the launching area. In addition,the information requested on the daily
launching permit shall be completed entirely.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact of this amendment request.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Common Council approve the amendment.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
