A. The rates for services, supplies and berthing fees at the marina shall be established by resolution of the Council of the City. All vessels berthing at the marina will be charged a berthing fee, unless the Council has specifically authorized otherwise. Vessels will be charged according to the length of the vessel or the length of the berth, whichever is greater.

B. The Harbormaster may establish a special rate for services, supplies and berthing which are not included in the fee resolution referred to in subsection A of this section. Such fees shall be based upon the reasonable costs of the service provided and be approved in writing by the City Manager. A request by the Harbormaster for application of any such rate shall include a detailed explanation of why such rate should apply, a copy of which shall be provided to the Waterfront Commission.

C. All charges for berthing shall be due and payable monthly in advance on or before the first day of each month, and shall be delinquent on the fifteenth day of the month for which the payments are due. All charges for service and supplies shall be due upon billing and shall be delinquent 15 days thereafter. If any payment is delinquent as provided herein, an administrative fee of 10% shall be added and paid in addition thereto.

D. The City may change monthly berthing fees and other fees and charges after giving at least 30 days written notice to a permittee.

E. Permittees who wish to remove their vessels from the marina for more than 30 days, but less than 12 months, and do not want to permanently release their berths, may pay one-half the monthly berth rate. The Harbormaster may use the berth(s) for temporary and visitor berthing. Fifteen days written notice is required to the Harbormaster prior to placing a berth on one-half rate, and 15 days written notice is required prior to returning the vessel to the berth.

F. Use of a berth is restricted to one vessel only, not including a dinghy or small boat up to 14 feet in length, provided that neither the vessel or the dinghy or small boat extends beyond the limits of the berth width and length, as set forth in Section 6.20.160 subsections J and K, unless permission has been granted by the Harbormaster for berthing more than one vessel in the berth, if the size of the berth will permit its use by two or more vessels.

G. Vessels in "S" section berths (inside tie "skiff" berths that do not have power, water or dock boxes) shall normally be limited to boats not to exceed 24 feet in total length, including rudders, railings and tipped-up outboard motors. When the Harbormaster determines that "S" section berths are suitable for larger power or sailboats, these berths may be assigned to such vessels at the rates normally applicable to regular public berths.
