Posted by jake on August 30, 2007, 11:23 pm, in reply to "Re: Marina looking for Rate Increase" In your complaint on the dinghy dockage increase for anchored vessels your forget the inclusion of weekly $5/pump outs to be included in the rate. that makes the increase only 14% not your 42%. --Previous Message--

Jim, you need to read your own links. Almost the entire dinghy dock is ADA accessable, only the east/ west hard dinghy section at the North end is less than the required 60in. There are no barriers to use of the docks with the possible exception of your hard head.
Dealing your hare brained ideas costs the city time and money better spent on the real issues. More dinghy docks with expanded and improved shore amenities.
Just what is your idea for an ADA dock to meet your disability, you seem to have no problem with dockside perhaps cost is your issue and you feel the disabled should be entitled to free dockage as most ADA automobile parking is unmetered.
A final note it would be nice if you and Mary would refrain from using boot key harbor as an ashtray. Butts are the worst form of pollution in our oceans. They won't break down naturally.
