There is no commission meeting that this was discussed at on a city level as this is a county issue.

If you have further questions, please feel free to give the county dispatch a call at 949-723-1002.

If you have city related questions, please feel free to give me a call directly 949-718-3429.

Thank You,

The only problem I see with this is that the sheriff is county law enforcement. And a previous post stated that the deputy said their new lieutenant was the one that wanted to enforce it. So sounds like county would be the ones enforcing it at that case.

But it sounds like she talked to the county and the decided to not enforce it? Maybe enough people called and complained about it.

So just to be clear. Are we, as a kayak community still able to launch at the Coast Guard Station?

Your asking for an answer that is definitive:

Here is the best answer I can give you.

Yes, you can launch and Yes you can get a ticket, until the signs are covered up is my personal opinion.

If they issue a citation, the law and proof is in our favor. I would just ask the officer to get in touch with his commanding officer just in case their is some miscommunication.



I don't put it past any of the resident(s) to pull down the stickers posted on the signs after they have been placed.
