Agenda St tement
Meeting Date: January 23, 2017
To: City Council
Through: Jim Hunt; City Manager
From: Norm Regis; Harbormaster
Agenda Item: Changes to the 2017 Port & Harbor Tariff Regulations
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The Harbor waitlist currently has a 60 foot waitlist that accommodates vessels 55 to 64 feet length
overall. There is not a plan to build 60 foot slips in the foreseeable future and therefore no
movement on the 60 foot waitlist. The Harbor as made exceptions to allow boats up to 59 feet length
overall to become tenants of slips on F Float due to the shortage of 60 foot slips. These boats have
reported no problem being able to maneuver these larger vessels with the current layout of the
harbor. The Harbor has created two 60 foot spaces which have been held by the same tenants for
years. The requested change would require eliminating the 60 foot waitlist and transferring the
current customers to the correct waitlist based on the size of their vessel based on the date they got
on the 60 foot Waitlist and at no additional cost to them for this waitlist change.
Below is the list of requested changes in sequential order:
1) On page 9 Section 200 (b) remove the 60 foot waitlist line and change the 50 feet line to 45
to 59 feet and change the 75 feet line to 60 to 79 feet.
INTENT:
To eliminate the 60 foot waitlist and establish waitlists that will coincide with the harbor's
configuration and allow all boats, a safe and secure tenant slip.
