A. If the lake is buoyed along a line two hundred feet from shore and fifty feet from any underwater obstruction lying within four feet of the lake’s average seasonal low water level to restrict skiing to an area outside the buoys, such excess speed shall be allowed between the hours of eleven a.m. and eight p.m. or sunset, whichever is earlier. Sunset shall be defined as that time prescribed as sunset in Lacey by the Director of the Nautical Almanac at the United States Observatory at Washington, D.C.

B. Placement and maintenance of buoys under subsection 9.56.110(A) shall be the responsibility of the skiers and/or property owners. Distance between buoys placed under this subsection shall not exceed three hundred feet.

C. Times referred to in subsection 9.56.110(A) shall be either Pacific Standard or Pacific Daylight, whichever is currently in effect in Lacey.

D. Motorboats may pull skiers, aquaplanes or similar contrivances between the line of buoys and shore only when taking off or landing, and in so doing, must operate on a line as nearly perpendicular to the shoreline as possible.

E. Notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter to the contrary, it is unlawful to operate a motorboat upon or across waters of any lake within the city at a rate of speed greater than five miles per hour commencing with the opening day of lowland fishing season each year and continuing until May 15th.

In no instance shall any watercraft exceed forty-five miles per hour. (Ord. 1155 §1, 2001; Ord. 1138 §1, 2000; Ord. 1134 §1, 2000; Ord. 1063, 1997; Ord. 1060, 1997; Ord. 938 §7, 1992; Ord. 454 §4, 1977; Ord. 427 (part, 1976).
