Panel delays Title 5 commercial‑tour permit work to September, targets December finish
Summary
Advisory members agreed to move detailed drafting of Title 5 (HPC 5.18 commercial tour-permit revisions) to a September work schedule with a goal to complete recommendations by December; staff will assemble existing materials for the September packet.
The advisory panel agreed to delay in‑season work on Title 5 (HPC 5.18) commercial tour‑permit revisions and to reconvene the item in September, aiming to finish drafting by December.
Members and staff said timing matters: operators and staff are busy during the cruise season and the working group recommended starting comprehensive code drafting after the season so affected operators can participate and staff can prepare background materials. Clerk Mike and members said a clear purpose-and-intent section would help guide revisions and reduce subjectivity in decisions about impacts.
The panel moved, seconded and approved a motion to place the entirety of the Title 5 materials on the September meeting agenda, with the working timeline to produce recommendations by December. Staff agreed to collect existing documents and analyses so the panel does not start from scratch when it reconvenes.
