The ordinance (second reading) amends Chapter 28 (traffic, motor vehicles and boats) to create a new section limiting overnight anchoring in Golden Isles Lake; the commission opened and closed the public hearing (no public speakers were present) and adopted the ordinance on a 4‑0 roll call vote (Commissioner Butler absent).
After the vote, a commissioner asked the city to schedule a Zoom briefing with the city attorney and police chief to explain enforcement and next steps to residents of Golden Isles Drive. The commission approved a motion to schedule that public meeting via Zoom, which the clerk and staff will coordinate.
Why it matters: The ordinance provides an enforcement mechanism for boat anchoring at night in a residential lake area and the follow‑up briefing is intended to inform residents about enforcement, reporting and timelines.
Speakers quoted in this story: Mayor Joy F. Cooper (opened public hearing and read selected correspondence from Park Lane Towers), and commissioners who requested a Zoom briefing.
Ending: The ordinance takes effect per its codification language; staff will schedule the resident briefing and return as needed for enforcement details.
