a. General Regulations.All East Mooring vessels and licensees are subject to the regulations stated in Sections 17-33(a) through (f).

b. Vessel Size.Vessels in the East Mooring area must be between 20 feet and 45 feet in length (measured using extreme length of vessel), and may not exceed 10 tons in weight.

c. Use of Mooring.Except for dinghies, only one vessel is allowed on an East Mooring ball at any one time. An East Mooring license shall authorize the holder thereof to use the facilities for mooring purposes only and grants no further rights, privileges or uses. No sub-licenses are permitted in the East Mooring area. Additional or varying uses shall not be allowed except as provided in this Chapter, City Council resolutions, or with the written permission of the Harbormaster.

d. Blocks.The Harbormaster shall maintain all blocks, chains and mooring balls in the East Mooring area.

e. Maintenance and Care of Mooring.Vessel owners are responsible for their mooring lines and chafe gear, and for the safe and secure mooring of their vessels. They are liable for damage to their own vessel, and to other vessels, caused by their negligent, reckless, or willful acts or omissions. Boat owners will be billed for labor and materials to secure vessels which are improperly or inadequately secured, or to repair mooring facilities which are damaged by said acts or omissions.

f. Participation in the Seasonal East Mooring Program.East Moorings are available for use from April through October. From November through March, East Mooring licensees have the option of moving the vessel into the Marina and will be provided the use of an appropriately sized berth, paying the 1.5 times the berth rate rather than the transient rate. In order to take advantage of Marina berthing and the 1.5x’s rate, the vessel must have been assigned to, used, and paid for an East Mooring license for a minimum of 90 days during the preceding April through October period.

g. Dinghy Space.The City will provide, at no cost from April through October, a dinghy space located either in the Marina or at Wharf 1, for any licensee participating in the seasonal East Mooring program.

h. Overnight Stays.No one is permitted to stay aboard a vessel on an East Mooring overnight, which shall be from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Licensees may, however, bring their boats into the Marina for an overnight stay as a transient vessel, paying the appropriate transient fees, and following all other transient regulations as found in Section 17-42.

i. Inoperable Vessels.All East Mooring vessels are subject to the regulations as stated in Section 17-7. (Ord. 3682 § 17, 2024)
