Title
An ordinance relating to watercraft speed limits in the outer harbor during special events.
Sections
Analysis
Section 118-80-3-g of the Code of Ordinances authorizes the harbor master to declare and enforce a temporary speed limit of 5 miles per hour, slow no wake, in the outer harbor or portions of the outer harbor before, during and after a lakefront fireworks display or other special event for which the harbor master determines the expected volume of watercraft traffic is such that operation above the speed of 5 miles per hour, slow no wake, will be unsafe.
Common Council File Number 070317, the ordinance that created s. 118-80-3-g, included a sunset clause which provided that the ordinance would be null and void after December 31, 2010. This ordinance repeals that sunset clause, thereby making permanent the harbor master’s authority to declare and enforce the temporary speed limit during and after special events.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Part 2 of Common Council File Number 070317 is repealed.
