Did you scroll down a bit? It said: To Our Customers,
It seems that COVID-19 has caused the rules to change, once again. The Executive Order entered by Governor Hogan this morning requires all persons to stay at home, with very few and limited exceptions. Although we are still reviewing the situation, it appears that BJYY as an essential business could continue to operate on the exceedingly limited basis I described late last week. However, as we understand today’s Executive Order, residents of Maryland are not allowed to travel except for very limited, essential tasks that are expressly permitted under the Executive Order. Those coming into Maryland, as we understand it, are subject to a 14-day self-quarantine requirement. As a result those travel restrictions would prevent anyone from coming to BJYY and, in any event, it appears that using boats is not an “Essential Activity” that is permitted under the new Executive Order. So while BJYY could perform some limited activities, travel to deliver or pick-up boats is prohibited. In light of that, the question becomes what is the best marina response to this unprecedented and highly disruptive event. Given the new restrictions, we believe the best and safest approach is to leave boats where they are until the state of emergency contained in the Executive Order has been lifted. This means we will be suspending hauling and launching activities, including suspending boatel related activities, effective at 5:00 pm today. This seems to be the least bad of what unfortunately are all bad alternatives. Perhaps more important, by doing so we hope to protect the health and welfare of our customers, contractors and employees. Give the current circumstances, we will continue to hold our storage rates at the lower winter storage level until the state of emergency is over. We have gotten some comments about continuing to charge storage, but I can tell you that BJYY’s costs and expenses have not changed in any way. We are continuing to pay all of our employees, as we have been strongly encouraged to do by government at all levels, and because we want to maintain an experienced and stable workforce to support our customers as we have for decades. In addition, our tax, insurance, utility and other operating costs and our obligations to our landlord and bank continue unchanged. We are trying very hard to share the economic burdens being imposed on all of us by COVID-19 and resulting orders. We will maintain a skeleton staff and will try to address any emergencies that arise. As are you, we are trying our best to figure out how best to respond to this critical and evolving situation. All of us want to get back to our normal lives as soon as possible. We will do whatever we can do, consistent with the laws that we all must follow, to respond to your needs and interests. We continue to greatly appreciate your support and understanding during this very challenging time. Please Stay Safe. Sincerely, Rod Jabin Executive Order 3/30/20 https://governor.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Gatherings-FOURTH-AMENDED-3.30.20.pdf On Mon, 30 Mar 2020 at 20:01, CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List < [email protected]> wrote: > Your "update from Jabins" was two blank attachments > > > On March 30, 2020 at 5:57 PM Bill Coleman via CnC-List < > [email protected]> wrote: > > Just got this update from Jabins. > > Bill Coleman > > > > [image: https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif] > > [image: > https://files.constantcontact.com/6a66f3f8201/f90caaf5-64eb-408d-b915-55dcb67d85db.png] > > > > [image: https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif] > > > > To Our Customers, > > > > It seems that COVID-19 has caused the rules to change, once again.
