Resident urges stricter enforcement at harbor after reported thefts and loitering
Summary
A resident reported repeated instances of loitering and attempted thefts at the head of the harbor, urged enforcement of bulk-permit parking rules and said he has installed cameras and alarms; the board acknowledged the concern and noted enforcement options.
During the public-comment period, a resident urged the board to enforce signage and parking restrictions at the head of the harbor after reporting multiple incidents of loitering and attempted theft from boats.
The resident described camera footage showing repeated approaches to his boat and said people were using pumps, nets and other tools to take items for quick sale. He urged enforcement of 'bulk permit parking' signage and said he has installed cameras and alarm systems on his vessel. "I keep my boat tied off the bulkhead about 6, 8 feet...I got cameras. I'm paying for wifi on the boat now and alarm systems to activate when the boat moves or someone comes near," the resident said. The board acknowledged the concern and noted that signage enforcement and harbor patrol practices could be reviewed.
The transcript does not show a formal board action on enforcement at the meeting; the item was presented as public comment and noted for follow-up.
