Bill 68-12, Out-of-water Storage Facilities (for boats)


Sponsor: Bevins
Benefitted: Sunset Harbor Marina and Tradewinds Marina

Allows storage of water craft trailers, eliminates limit of 3 levels for out-of-water storage. This was apparently to benefit the Sunset Harbor Marina and the Tradewinds Marina. Their owners, John Polek and Robert Palmer, "appeared" to speak at the Council legislative session, which is highly unusual.

Introduced October 1, 2012; passed November 5; effective 45 days
