( 07-180) Introduction of Ordinance Amending Alameda Municipal Code Subsection 23-6.2 (Operation of Power Boats) of Section 23-6 - (Harbor and Tidelands) of Chapter XXIII (Parks, Recreation Areas and Public Property) by Repealing Subsection 23-6.2 in Its Entirety and Adding a New Subsection 23-6.2 (Operation of Power Boats) that Incorporates Speed Limits for Vessels Propelled by Machinery in an Estuary or Channel and Continues the Prohibition of Power Boats in Lagoons. Introduced. Jim Silver, Alameda, stated the Estuary is highly policed; he does not feel ticketing is needed; warnings are adequate. Timothy Corfey, Alameda, stated police presence is not excessive on the Estuary; he has an issue with the speed limit speeds are difficult to determine. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the proposed ordinance would be enforceable by other agencies that patrol the waterways, to which the City Attorney responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson stated that she received a call from someone associated with the Oakland Strokes an incident occurred on the waterway during practice yesterday; the Oakland Strokes strongly support the proposed ordinance. Councilmember Gilmore requested clarification on how the speed limit is gauged. The Police Lieutenant stated the speed limit is gauged by the distance away from a launch ramp or a dock; the ordinance does not prevent a boater from driving any desired speed down the center of the Estuary as long as they are not within one hundred feet of a dock; the Harbors & Navigation Code is used for repeat offenders the District Attorney's office has dismissed all citations issued under the Harbors & Navigations Code; the District Attorney's office would be more inclined to prosecute the cases if the City had an ordinance.
