The city from time to time holds or permits events at Haddad Riverfront Park for the purpose of providing wholesome entertainment, to attract tourism, and to generally provide opportunities for people to take advantage of the great resource which is our downtown riverfront area. Making the area accessible to boaters attending such events promotes and furthers these purposes. This article sets forth guidelines and conditions for the permitting and licensing of boaters to safely utilize designated electric power sources which may, at the city's discretion, be made available to boaters attending these events.
