(B) (1) Vessels may be tied to the public parallel dock for no more than 30 minutes per each mooring and signage advising this time limitation shall be posted at various locations along said dock. It shall be unlawful for any vessel to remain tied to or otherwise docked at the public parallel dock in excess of the 30 minute maximum time period, and the owner or operator of any vessel in violation of this division may be cited for the violation which shall constitute an infraction punishable by a fine of $250 for each occurrence.

(2) No cleaning of fish within the park unless at designated facilities for same provided by the city.
(3) No rental of any vessels, including pickup or drop-off, of any type of vessel or watercraft to the public at Alsdorf Park.
