Re: Jet Ski Ordinance
Dear Bud:
Your attention is directed to Section 67-7031 r Idaho Code,
regarding marking of waters within the state and the enactment of
local ordinances concerning waters within the city limits.
We must use the Uniform Waterways harking System or obtain
specific authority from the State Department of Parks to design
our own. Local ordinances are allowed to "promote or protect the
health and safety and general welfare of its citizenry."
I'am in pursuit of a cope of the state rules so we will know how
to proceed.
Very truly yours,
Robert H. Remaklus

SAVING LIVES
AND INFLUENCING PEOPLE
SPECIAL REPORT: Loaner Programs
one of the most positive and effective
programs ever initiated by personal
watercraftmanufacturers is the
loaner program. It puts vehicles in the hands
of water safety and patrol officers
across the country, free of charge for a full
season.
It would be the equivalent of the Ford
Motor Company giving police departments
free use of Crown Victorias for four months.
It sounds too good to be true. In the case of
'-, watercraft loaner programs, though, such
e use really is there for the asking.
Kawasaki and Yamaha originated this
approach to improved relationships with
safety agencies last season. The two compa-
nies have accumulated books full of clip-
pings — positive newspaper and magazine
articles — chronicling the use of the craft
nationwide. With their loaned craft inthe
hands of trained boating experts, they have
played an important role in improving boat-
ing safety, in assisting search and rescue
efforts and in saving lives.
Why are the loaner programs so success-
ful? Part of the reason is the positive public
perception of a craft, such as the Wave -
Runner or Jet Ski, when it's ridden by an
officer. After all, any craft that a boating
safety officer uses in a rescue or enforcement
operation must be safe, effective and legal,
right?
Right. And that's part of what the public,
including former critics, comes to under-
stand thanks to the loaners.
The articles on the following pages
•..�_
Officer Ron Bittaker of the St Petersburg Beach (Fla.) Police Department patrols aboard a Yamaha WaveRunner III.
describe how and why the programs work,
how they have been received and how they
have helped improve boating safety. The
articles were written by John Donaldson, the
Yamaha Marine Group's public communi-
cations manager; Nancy Linden, account
executive for Kawasaki's public relations
firm, Freeman/McCue; and the WATER
SCOOTER BUSINESS staff.
Bombardier, Hot Sports and Wetjet also
have personal watercraft loaner programs
that are growing this season.
The rising use and acceptance of the craft
by patrol and safety officials is improving
the public image of personal watercraft. If
your business is able to take part, do so for
the good of the sport.

,Dramatically
�YPRESS, CALIF. —In the spring of
990, Chuck Loomis, a northern Indiana
Yamaha water vehicle dealer, was informed
that the local lake commission was planning
to completely ban personal watercraft from a
group of lakes collectively known as the
Lake of Four Seasons.
The lake commission was responding to
complaints from lake area residents alarmed
by an inflamatory, anti-PWC segment on the
television tabloid "The Reporters." Loomis
mobilized a large group of personal water-
craft owners and mounted an intensive lob-
bying and educational effort aimed at lake
commission members as well as restrictions
advocates. After a lot of time and hard work,
Loomis and his group ultimately tamed the
tide against the restrictions. The lake com-
mission even appointed Loomis and a local
WaveRunner owner to a newly created
Personal Watercraft Committee to enforce
safety rules on the lake.
The point here is not that a motivated
dealer can prevail against those who would
deny personal watercraft the same rights
accorded other boaters (which Loomis
•
There is an equally effective and much
easier way for dealers to prevent the ques-
tion of restrictions from arising in the first
place: taking a pro -active stance and partici-
pating in Yamaha Marine Group's Public
Safety Loan Program. .
Probably the biggest long-term problem
currently facing personal watercraft dealers
is unreasonable restrictions on personal
watercraft: limiting riding areas, closing
launch sites, etc. Though the ecomomy'is in
recession and sales may be slow, prosperity
will return. But anti-PWC legislation can put
local personal watercraft sales on ice perma-
nently.
Loaning personal watercraft to local law
enforcement officials —police, sheriff's.and
fire departments, fish and wildlife services,
search and rescue units, etc. —is the simplest
and most effective step a dealer can take to
preserve marine access for personal water-
craft.
The mechanics of the program, launched

proved is true). The point is,that fighting pro- by Yamaha in March 1990, are as follows: A
posed restrictions consumes.a lot of a deal- government agency contacts its local
.er's time and effort. Yamaha water vehicle dealer regarding a
vehicle loan. The dealer and the agency
assemble the necessary paperwork and sub-
mit it with an order to Yamaha Marine
Group. After Yamaha verifies the complete-
ness of the paperwork and processes the
order, the water vehicles are shipped to the
dealer. The dealer assembles and prepares
the vehicles and then trains the new riders.
Although all models are available for the
program, the two water vehicles most com-
monly used are the WaveRunner III and the
WaveRunner LX.
Yamaha has left it to the dealers to work
out details such as customization, service
arrangements, and number of vehicles to be
loaned. Yamaha does encourage dealers to
ask the participating agency to hold the deal-
ership free of any liability.
This pioneering initiative utilizes the con-
cept of public -private sector cooperation to
promote greater understanding of PWCs on
the part of marine regulatory and enforce-
ment agencies.

c/o May Hardware
McCall, ID 83638
Dear Rick,
Attached is a copy of the proposed "Jet -Ski" ordinance
(perhaps better titled a Water Safety Zone Ordinance) which
the Council is considering. It has not been adopted.
On August 9, the Council asked that I inquire if the markers
to delineate this zone would be eligible for Waterway funding.
The zone impacts boater safety and affects all those using
the water for recreation.
The Council feels that until funding is located to erect the
markers, no action be taken on the ordinance. We need
assistance in the design of these markers, cost of materials
and installation of those markers.
Please advise me if the Waterways Commission feels that such
an effort would be eligible for assistance. Your help is
always appreciated.
Sincerely,
Arthur J. Schmidt
