The city will be going after Okanagan Lake tour boat operators who don91裸聊视频檛 have a municipal dock licence.

According to Ron Forbes, a former property manager with the city who assisted with implementing the dock licence program, 11 companies have their licence, seven are currently applying and 12 have said they will not be using municipal docks.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 what they said and we will tell you right now that91裸聊视频檚 not true,91裸聊视频� said Forbes. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e got video evidence of a company who was using the boat launches this (past) weekend.91裸聊视频�

Forbes did not name the company but added there were 16 calls to bylaw for unlicensed companies using city boat launches and two $500 tickets were issued.

91裸聊视频淭hey were told to leave, refused to leave and they were ticketed for that.91裸聊视频�

Licensed companies will now have a sticker on their vessels, something Forbes said all operators have been advised of.

91裸聊视频淪o if they don91裸聊视频檛 see the sticker and they see a rental going on, we91裸聊视频檝e invited them to give bylaw a call.

Forbes also said video cameras at docks will be monitored and if an unlicensed company is seen using one bylaw can be sent to ticket them. Council approved licensing fees for commercial operators in March. Forbes said one of the key successes has been a reduction in commercial demand at city-owned docks.

He noted that launches are still very busy.

Capital News has spoken with several commercial operators, some licensed and some not, who are concerned several private boat owners are offering tours for payment yet are not required to have a dock licence.
