I wanted to just think everybody that worked on this and I wanted to ask city staff if you could just clarify one of the major changes that might pertain to the parking lot in regards to safety and lighting. Our Marine bureau manager, Alveda Halloran. Thank you. Good evening, Honorable Mayor and City Council. Can you please clarify your. Question a little bit? Because I don't remember the rules specifically speaking about lighting in the parking lots. So it does. Actually, as soon as I said lighting, I was like, it doesn't talk about lighting. It talks about the parking lot and how long people can stay in and refining some of those rules. I wanted to just clarify if there were any major differences from what was already in place. Okay. Can you can you tell me which letter you're looking at? Because apparently you're looking at something very specific. So let me flip over there. I'm simply just I've had a lot of people talk to me about parking in our marina. And so I wanted to just clarify if there were any changes. So it says parking lots. It's it's n sorry. I know I didn't give you guys too much. Head's up on this. No, that's okay. I can answer the question. I just want to make sure we're both looking at the same thing. Yeah, it's page 11. Page 11. Okay. Parking lots. Okay. Give me a moment. While I flip over to the red line version. So I can make sure I am answering the right question. I mean, I guess I would assume if there's nothing that's. The major the the one concern that I remember because we went through a thorough public comment with the boat owners. I mean, they had at least five opportunities to come to us. They were emailed the rules and regs, and they were allowed to give us. Comments via the email when it came to the parking lot. Their biggest. Question was two things. That we changed that were major. One is that right now I have several. Boat owners who have. RV's that they park, that they sell or. Or box trucks that they basically use as closets because they're liveaboard. And these vehicles never move. And it's become an issue as far as sweeping the parking lots. And one of the things that we're no longer going to allow, because I did receive a lot of other complaints from other boaters and that these box trucks and campers and RV that are dilapidated make the marina look trashy where their words and what we're trying to do is kind of clean that up. So per code, they have to move their vehicles every 72 hours. So a lot of these boat owners were not moving those large vehicles. So we have not put in a limit as to how large your vehicles can be to be parked in the parking lot. Because basically what was going on is a few every boat owners allowed two parking passes to park, two personal vehicles that were using one of their parking. Passes to park this. RV big box truck that was really their closet because they're liveaboard. And that vehicle, like I said before, it didn't move and it was they were causing issues and they were taking up parking. The other issue that the boat owners had with this, with the parking is that in our rules and regs, because it's because of mechanical , you have to move your vehicle every 72 hours for on street sweeping. The rules are regs are pretty clear on that. But what they were confused about, they came to us and said, Well, what if I get on my vessel and I go to Catalina for a week? My car's parked there for 72 hours, but over 72 hours because I'm there for a week. Well, what we explain to them is you just have to come to the office and you let us know that your car is going to be there for a week. And we make arrangements with Marine Patrol so that you do not get ticketed for not moving your vehicle during that time. So these are all policies that we do this. Some of the boat owners were not aware that this is how we actually handle it operationally. But with the rules and regs, I have to have a way of making sure that what we don't have in the past was people were just parked the vehicles and abandoned them. All right. Thank you so much for taking the time. Sorry to put you on the spot there. Thanks. Thank you. There's a motion and a second. Please cast your votes. And we did public comment. Motion carries. Okay. I think that was our last item, correct? Yes, that was her last item. So we're going to go ahead and go into new business. And I know we have I want to start with just doing some of the remembrances.
