License yeai 2001 marina license applications and fees were received in early 2001 but were not processed during 2001. License year 2001 licenses were issued during 2000 and are functionally still in effect. This memo is requesting Council approval for issuance of licenses for the period January 1,2001 through December 31, 2002. In the past, staff has attempted to inspect each marina in mid-season, with annual licenses presented to Council for formal approval shortly thereafter. This annual inspection process, which is nal required by code, did not occur in 2001 and has yet to be completed for 2002. However, staff has visited a number of the marinas within the past year, either in regards to complaints or informally for other purposes. The delay in license processing until an inspection has been completed, is cumbersome for staff and perhaps unfair to the marinas, and should be discontinued. It is staffs recommendation that the processing of annual marina licenses be completed upon their submittal (usually in February), and any issues with the Operation Standards be dealt with as they arise during the year, or be dealt with as a zoning matter if that is *he case.
