• Dock C Marina:  Dock C was reopened to boaters on Saturday, July 1, just in time for the busy Fourth of July holiday. The original wooden dock, which had exceeded its service life, was replaced with a new concrete dock similar to Docks A and B. The same number of slips were provided but with a new and more efficient configuration. In addition, the slips were moved farther from the seawall, delivering more light in the shallow water to provide better habitat for eelgrass.  The dock also was constructed with an Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible gangway, upgraded power, telephone and data service, and fire protection. As of mid-week, the dock was approximately two-thirds occupied and complete occupancy is expected shortly.

• Fourth of July Overview: Here’s a breakdown of the City’s Fourth of July:
• Fourth of July Staffing: Public Services was at full staffing in two shifts. Beach Lifeguards were at full staffing. The Fire Department staffed an additional ambulance. City staff was supplemented by two contractors, the California Highway Patrol and Community Services Officers from the University of California, San Diego. 
• Police Activity:  Dispatchers received 124 calls for service and officers initiated 166 interactions or contacts while on patrol, made five arrests; handled a total of 39 tows, including 13 police-initiated tows and 29  private impounds, and issued 23 citations. Police deployed three mobile camera trailers and two sky watch towers to aid in ensuring the safety of the community.
• Trash Bags and EDCO Containers:  The City handed out 1,100 trash bags on the Fourth of July to help revelers help the City clean up their trash. More than 130 extra trash cans and 100 portable restrooms were added around town.
• TV Broadcast:  The City purchased new equipment to allow the live airing of the Fourth of July Parade on Coronado TV, Spectrum Channel 19 and AT&T 99. The parade was recorded and edited for broadcast. It can be seen on Coronado TV through the coming weeks.
