On Thursday, at the Klaipeda Municipal Council meeting, the issue of the behavior of surface water bodies in water and on ice of surface water bodies was discussed.
In one provision, it was stated that during the bathing season, the hours of visiting the beaches are from 9 in the morning. Until 9 PM.
The director of the municipal administration can, by order, establish other times to visit the beaches.
Councilwoman Alina Velykienė, who drew attention to this point, asked the Department of Public Order a specific question: “Will I be able to see the sunset on the beach after 9pm?”
And although some Council members accompanied the topic with laughter, others raised the serious question of whether such a provision did not go beyond logic.
According to Marius Poimanskis, Head of the Administrative Activities Branch of the Public Order Division of the Klaipeda Municipal Administration, these hours are indicated because Klaipeda rescuers work with them. It is from 9 o’clock. Until 9 PM. The beaches are the safest.
“The theoretical possibility of obtaining a protocol is. If we consider that an extension is necessary, such decision can be made simply by order of the Director of Administration.
During the hours of visiting the beaches, the work is done by the company that manages the beach. After those hours, the fire and rescue service does the rescue work. This is the concept of government, it did not occur to us, “said Poimanskis.
He added that the Public Order Division is organizing raids with the police and rescuers. And there are cases where accidents happen due to careless behavior.
The Council debated a political debate on the new rules. In general, it was decided to modify the sixth point as follows: “During the bathing season, the hours of visiting the beaches will not be set after 9 in the morning. Until 9 PM. JV Klaipėda’s beaches organize rescue work for people who are drowning. “
After long discussion and discussion with this amendment, Council members voted in favor of the new rules.
In addition to these new changes, city citizens and guests should be aware that the new rules prohibit children under the age of 14 from bathing without adult supervision. Children this age won’t even be left unattended by the water.
Boating on inflatable mattresses, vehicle tires and tubes, logs, boards and other non-floating objects will also be prohibited. It will also not be possible to navigate in non-designated beach bathing areas and endanger people and the environment. And that is only part of the innovation.
The bathing season started on June 1. and lasts until September 15.
