Proposed Ordinance 25-05-CC requires additional training and safety measures for livery vessel operators and their customers, codifies the livery vessel cap within the City, and makes clarifications to permit transferability. The cap on the number of livery vessels is based on the current number of livery vessels legally registered and expected to register based on the recent clarifications related to bareboat yachts and the existing boat club within the city. Proposed clarifications on permit registration transferability include the ability to transfer permit registrations provided the vessel is transferred with the permit, but prohibits separate permit transfers if detached from the vessel to which the permit is registered. Abandoned permits would be required to be returned to the City. | attachments=1 | reports=1
