From the transcript

They do have a contract in place again. So, um, the, uh, police department and parking enforcement, they've slowly been going through the various lots, identifying those vehicles that are abandoned, and they have been removing them. They actually removed a few at, uh, the bar at the harbormaster's lot there. So, um, it's, uh, it's kind of a weird, weird thing. Yes, uh, the borough does have that enforcement where they can come and take, take vehicles away, but we also do that, and they're slowly working on that.
