8.A. - Page 3 sewage pumping for individual units), a capital reserve, and an evaluation of comparable slip fees in the Bay Area to establish appropriate slip and lease fees. Each vessel that wishes to remain in the marina must apply for a slip and meet the minimum requirements established in that agreement. Staff reviewed agreements throughout the Bay Area and believes the conditions for berthing as proposed in the City's agreement are consistent with industry standards. There remains a need for landside support for the marina. Consequently, the landowners and City are negotiating a license agreement to enable this need. Specifically, there remains a need for access to the marina, parking, and utilities, all of which require crossing and use of the land. Additionally, there are three buildings that support the marina operations: Peninsula Yacht Club, the harbor offices, and showers and laundry facilities. Details for all of these facilities and uses are being resolved, but negotiations are not complete, and may not be finalized until after March 1. Staff and the landowners will work to assure there is no break in access for the water tenants while the final details are resolved. The license agreement will be for an initial term which will not exceed an amount up to $60,000 unless and until the Council approves the final agreement, at which time the term will automatically extend to the fully negotiated term. The final agreement will be brought to the Council for its consideration at the earliest moment. The City through its Revocable Permit received $1,700 monthly from the Marina operators. Moving forward the Marina operations are not intended to have any adverse impacts on the General Fund. However, until all costs and revenues are fully understood, it may be that the newly created fund initially does not pass this minimal payment to the General Fund. Staff believes the initial effort to establish an accurate rental roll, determine vessel worthiness, and create a facilities management plan will take approximately six months. During this same period staff will continue to work to bring in a longer-term management team, who would likely be in place for a two year period, while the Inner Harbor Plan is developed. The Inner Harbor Planning process will take approximately one year to work through the public planning and environmental impact report preparation. Consequently, there is likely no development in the area that would affect the Docktown Marina for at least this period. Once the planning process is complete, it is also likely to be at least another year before a development proposal would be created, submitted, approved, and begun in such a manner that there would be an impact on the marina operations. Once the Inner Harbor planning effort is complete, staff anticipates returning to the Council with recommendations for modifying the Docktown Marina management and operations to align with whatever the final Inner Harbor plans are. ALTERNATIVES The City Council may direct staff to solicit further proposals for the management of Docktown Marina, or modify the terms of the recommended agreement form.
