Spent some time in the channel on Sunday and couldn't believe how much of the channel has "NO Mooring" signs posted. It knocked out at least 200 mooring spots mostly in the nicer sandy areas and left the rockier ones.
The businesses along the channel are in an uproar and many of the residents disagree with this approach to solve the behavior and nudity issue. On Tuesday night May 24 the city council will be meeting at 7:00 PM and this is one of the agenda/discussion items. For those residents of Havasu please attend to show your dissatisfaction with this No Mooring issue and for those who visit let the businesses you frequent know your concern about this restriction. I understand that the businesses will have a big presence at the meeting. We need to put pressure on the council and the City Manager to go back to the drawing board to come up with other approaches and not try to legislate morality by resticting the parking. And finally, some of the council members that are behind this No Mooring change have been notified that they are being RECALLed and on Sept 13 a special election will be held to elect a new mayor and three council members. This will be the long term solution to remove them from office and put in place officials that will represent the residents and visitors with common sense approaches to issues that arise. See you at the polls.
