Commissioner Regalado remained unsupportive and requested her district, including Coconut Grove, be exempted. Commissioner McGhee expressed concern about the perception of directing enforcement against individuals who live aboard vessels and requested more information. The committee requested additional information on the number of residents living aboard vessels and the number of municipalities enforcing the exception before the Board meeting.
