| 98102 | Thanks for your response. However, I had only asked what was the amount of the bonus and what had transpired between the time that the Board had voted it and now, as I had not received any such bonus. It is interesting to hear that some eight months after the Board approved it that it has gone to cabinet for approval. Can you advise if the other bonuses that I understand that the port paid last December were also approved by cabinet? Please note that I am still awaiting the answers to my first two questions and now this third one, “Can you advise if the other bonuses that I understand that the port paid last December were also approved by cabinet?” Finally, for the record, it doesn’t matter whether Cabinet approves the bonus or not, I do not wish to receive it and please do not pay any such bonus to my account. I am only seeking the answers to the questions that I asked. | 16-Aug-22 | Granted in Full | Granted in full |

| 105845 | The water sports vendors operating at and around the SMB Public Beach are operating recklessly and unprofessionally, creating an unsafe environment for the general public. Their conduct appears to show disregard for the general public and of relevant legislation. Caymanian infants and children are routinely mere meters away from operators driving with a toe-line at reckless and excessive speeds within 50 yards of the shore. Operators are running multiple jet-skis, idling in circles uncontrolled for hours, with the nearest staff member over 100 ft away on land without a life jacket, while the machines drift into young swimmers nearby.In the interest of public safety, my objective is to seek timely and appropriate remedies, such as:1. The (re)introduction of new safety mechanisms, eg. protected Swim Area as per s.147(1) of the Port Act2. Considering other government departments, seek enforcement of existing permit conditions or suspension of relevant permits the vendors are operating under.In preparation for filing official grievances across departments, I am seeking further specific information to develop a comprehensive understanding of the situation. Can you kindly provide:- Geographical legal locations of Port Regulations (2022 revision) s. 147 Swim Areas between the Kimpton Resort south to the new Watermark Resort.
