MEMORANDUM
To:

From:
Steve Corporon, Port & Harbors Director
Date:
January 12, 2018
Re:
Ordinance No. 18-1864, amending Subsection (d) of Section 14.20.045 and Subsection (a) of Section 14.40.020 of the Ketchikan Municipal Code entitled "Reservation of Floats" and "Mooring Facilities Reserved Moorage Fee", respectively; relating to moorage fees and charges; and establishing an effective date.
Attached is Ordinance No. 18-1864, which was prepared by the City Attorney's office at the request of Port and Harbors staff. The proposed changes would adjust the semi-annual billing periods for reserved moorage as follows: • •
March 1 through August 31 would change to May 1 through October 31 . September 1 through February 28/29 would change to November 1 through April 30.
Shifting the two 6-month periods by 2 months will make it easier for staff and customers , especially customers seeking seasonal moorage. Currently customers seeking to continue seasonal reserved moorage for September or October are required to prepay for a 6 month period from September through February and then seek a refund when they pull their boat for the winter. If adopted there would be one additional billing period to cover the 2-month transition period this year only and a flyer would be included in all bills explaining the change and assuring customers they will still end up paying the same amounts for reserved moorage and this is not a hidden rate increase. The Port and Harbors Advisory Board reviewed the proposed ordinance at their meeting of January 9, 2018, and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Port and Harbors staff also reviewed the proposed changes with Finance Department staff to ensure there were no accounting or implementation issues.
Recommended motion: I move the City Council approve in first reading Ordinance 18-1864 amending Subsection (d) of Section 14.20.045 and Subsection (a) of Section 14.40.020 of the Ketchikan Municipal Code entitled "Reservation of Floats" and "Mooring Facilities Reserved Moorage Fee", respectively; relating to moorage fees and charges; and establishing an effective date.
