Live aboard boat owners, who are facing eviction from the Oyster Cove Marina next month, came before the city council Wednesday night to plea for a delay in the move out order.
Matt Klein, a marina resident who has lived there for 17 years, said officials have decided to send them adrift without any dialogue with the boat owners.
She says they do not have the resources to make upgrades to their boats and find a new marina willing to take them as live-in residents. The BCDC is considering an option to assist 33 residents move to another nearby marina for up to a year. But after their temporary stay, the boat owners would need to find a new home, which may be on land.
Addeigo said it would take months for the Commission to make that kind of policy change and these residents may not be able to wait that long.
