Goetten commented she recalled the City Council taking that into account when they granted the license, and she felt that the number of slips should be limited to the same number as the units on the property.

Mayor Callahan commented that he was opposed to staff taking so much time to work with the marinas to obtain compliance, and suggested that perhaps compliance might be obtained by denying the marinas licenses. Gaffron responded that this had not worked in the past. He noted that the list included in the Council packet was for staff review, and not intended to be tied to the licenses for these establishments. Kelley stated that he felt that the Council should take a stand on this issue. Mayor Callahan stated lie understood that the marinas had complied with the seven required standards. Kelley stated he was not in favor of granting a license to any marina that did not have their tanks licensed. Gaffron responded that he believed that all the marinas had been or were in the process of becoming listed with the Pollution Control Agency.
