A. No person shall remove or cause to be removed from the marina any vessel upon which charges for berthing, dry storage, or any other charges are delinquent, without first paying all such delinquent charges. The Harbormaster is authorized to take actions necessary to prevent the removal of a vessel in violation of this subsection, including moving, securing, or otherwise detaining the vessel.

B. It is unlawful for any person to violate the provisions of subsection A of this section, or to willfully give false information to the City in order to secure the removal of a vessel.

C. When any charges upon a vessel are delinquent for 20 days or more the City may post a notice of delinquency and secure the vessel to prevent it from being moved. The City may add a service charge to the berther’s account for securing the vessel.

D. When subsequent to securing a vessel for delinquent charges as provided in subsection D of this section, any charges remain delinquent and unpaid, the City may enforce the lien pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Boaters Lien Law of the California Harbors and Navigation Code (H.&N.C. § 500, et seq.), as amended from time to time.
