Port Clinton council reviews Bed Tax receipts, festival feedback and reiterates 30-foot parking rule
Summary
At its May 27 meeting, Port Clinton City Council recorded current Bed Tax, Watercraft Dock Tax and STR fees, heard mixed feedback on the Walleye Festival seating, and reiterated that parking within 30 feet of stop signs will be ticketed.
The Port Clinton City Council reviewed its Treasurer's report and discussed community feedback from the recent Walleye Festival during its May 27 meeting.
The Treasurer's report, recorded as of May 23, 2025, lists Bed Tax receipts of $45,746.37, Watercraft Dock Tax receipts of $3,725.00 and short-term-rental (STR) registration fees of $24,700.00. The transcript does not name the presenting official for the Treasurer's report; the figures were entered into the meeting record.
Council members commented on the Walleye Festival. Margaret Phillips said she attended and described it as "one of the best ones in years." Pat Hovis said she was approached by people who reported there was nowhere to sit and eat; Beth Gillman offered kudos to Main Street Port Clinton and noted seating under the large tent was available. The remarks were delivered as business-from-the-floor comments rather than formal motions.
On enforcement matters, the Safety Services Committee (reported by Ms. Phillips) reminded the public that vehicles must park 30 feet from a stop sign and that parking closer than 30 feet will result in ticketing.
No formal follow-up motions or budgetary changes were recorded during the meeting on these items.
