Summary
Resolution R-4-26 aims to extend the Public Paddlecraft Rack Pilot Project in Annapolis, allowing a public rack for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards at a waterfront park. This extension is intended to enhance waterfront access and promote outdoor recreational activities, benefiting residents by encouraging healthier lifestyles and community engagement. The resolution lowers annual storage fees for City residents from $300 to $150, and for non-residents from $600 to $350, making it more accessible.
