How it got here
The legislation to amend the Park Code and raise fees at the Marina Small Craft Harbor originated from the need to address budget shortfalls and operational costs associated with the harbor.
The Recreation and Park Department proposed an ordinance to raise fees for various goods and services at the Marina Small Craft Harbor to cover operational costs and address a projected budget deficit.
The Board of Supervisors substituted the original ordinance with a revised version that included changes to the proposed fee amounts.
The Planning Department determined that the proposed fee increases comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), allowing the ordinance to proceed.
A further CEQA referral was made to confirm compliance with environmental regulations as the ordinance was prepared for committee review.
The Budget and Finance Committee reviewed the ordinance, made amendments, and continued the discussion regarding the proposed fee increases.
The committee referred the ordinance to the full Board of Supervisors without a recommendation, indicating ongoing concerns about the fee increases.
The Board of Supervisors passed the ordinance on first reading, moving it closer to final approval.
The Board of Supervisors finally passed the ordinance, officially amending the Park Code to raise fees at the Marina Small Craft Harbor.
