Suisun City Municipal Code Ch. 21.08 Rates

A. The city council is authorized to adopt from time to time a schedule of marina fees ("schedule") establishing the rates for services, supplies, municipal berth rents, mooring rents, and associated fees pertaining to the city marina. The schedule, as amended from time to time, shall be on file in the city clerk's office at all times and posted in a conspicuous place in the city harbormaster building.

B. No person shall berth any vessel at any berth or at the guest dock within the city marina without an executed berth agreement and payment of all charges and fees to the harbormaster. Such agreement, except an agreement for temporary berthing or storage of a vessel, shall include a declaration from the owner that the marina is the situs for his vessel for purposes of levying taxes on such vessel by the Solano County tax assessor, and every such owner is required to maintain a copy of insurance on said vessel as specified in the berth agreement.

C. Applications for berths in the city marina shall be made only upon forms furnished by the harbormaster and shall be accompanied by a fee established by the city council ("application fee") for such berth agreement.

D. The berthing of vessels in the city marina shall be subject to the direction and control of the harbormas-ter, who shall determine the admissibility of vessels to the marina dependent on type, condition, size, availability of berthing space and compliance with this chapter.

E. The harbormaster shall maintain waiting lists based on berth lengths, with names to be placed on such lists in the order of receipt of application. Berth space shall be granted from the waiting list in order as space becomes available; provided, however, that if a space becomes available and there are no names on the appropriate waiting list, the harbormaster shall have discretion to offer such space to the top person on the next most appropriate waiting list.

F. If a boat is owned by more than one individual at the time of berth assignment, the joint owners shall designate an agent to act on their behalf. All owners are each responsible for payment of fees and vessel condition.
