Executive Summary:

 

DESIGNATING THE WEEK OF MAY 18 - 24, 2024

AS NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK IN LAKE COUNTY

WHEREAS, National Safe Boating Week is observed to bring attention to important life- saving information for recreational boaters so that they can have a safer, more enjoyable experience out on the water throughout the year; and

WHEREAS, in the calendar year of 2022, U.S. Coast Guard statistics reveal that recreational boating fatalities decreased. Of the 659 people who died in fatal boating-related accidents in the United States, 445 of these fatalities were due to drowning and 370 of these boaters would be alive today had they worn their life jackets; and

                     WHEREAS, Lake County Flotilla has continued to provide free life jackets to youngsters by participating in community activities which promote child safety and educating the boating public in safe boating practices; and

WHEREAS, Flotilla 08-08 of Lake County will continue its efforts to educate the boating public by resuming safety patrols, free vessel safety checks, and to encourage boaters to practice safe boating habits and to wear life jackets.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake does hereby designate the week of May 18 - 24, 2024 as National Safe Boating Week in Lake County and urges all users of Clear Lake, Lake Pillsbury, Blue Lakes, and Indian Valley Reservoir to safeguard their lives by wearing lifejackets when boating, exercising safe boating practices, and boating responsibly.
