TO: Mayor and City Council MAY 2 2 1979]
FROM: City Staff ,
SUBJECT: Santa Monica Pier
Introduction
The report requests the City Council to ratify the emergency
agreement with Caltrans for ferry service, to extend it through
June 26, 1979, allowing time to negotiate a more extensive
agreement with Caltrans.
Background
Caltrans contacted the City on Saturday, April 28, 1979, to
discuss arrangements for a ferry service to be run for Malibu
residents affected by the slide closing the Pacific Coast Highway.
Staff arranged for a meeting on Sunday, April 29, 1979, where
the City Attorney drafted an agreement-protecting the City from
liability and ensuring Caltrans' accountability in this operation.
The agreement was for a two week period ending May 13, 1979.
Caltrans originally planned to operate the ferry service only for
this two week period. Subsequently, the highway has again been
closed by another slide. This has prompted Caltrans to seek a
longer agreement with the City. Staff has not had sufficient
time to negotiate a contract which would include a docking fee or
passenger fee, since the extension request has only recently been
made. Because of the timing, staff has extended the emergency
agreement until the Council can act on May 22, 1979.

Recommendation
Staff recommends Council ratify the existing ferry service
agreement and extend it through June 26, 1979, allowing staff
to negotiate a more extensive contract with Caltrans.

SECTION 10209A. Mooring Fees. City-
owned Moorings. A mooring fee shall be paid
for the privilege of tying or otherwise securing
any vessel to any mooring owned and main-
tained by the City. The fee therefore shall be in
accordance with any schedule provided for in
any ordinance or resolution of the City.
Nothing herein contained shall preclude
the Harbor Master from designating certain
City -owned moorings as Guest - moorings, and
permission may be given to him to make fast to
such moorings without a charge being made
therefore.
SECTION 10209B. Same. Lien for Un-
paid Mooring Fees. No mooring on which
any mooring fees are unpaid may be removed
without the prior written consent of the Har-
bor Master.
In addition to all other remedies provided by
law for the collection and enforcement of
charges or fees due for the renting of mooring
space or for the privilege of maintaining a
mooring in the harbor or in the protected area
adjoining the breakwater, the City shall have
a lien upon the mooring so maintained for the
maintenance of said mooring in said space.
Whenever such lien is lost by reason of loss of
possession through trick, fraud or device, the
repossession of the mooring by the City shall
revive such lien. Any lien of the City upon such
mooring for the renting of mooring space or
maintaining of the same, may be foreclosed in
the same manner as is provided generally by
the Civil Code of California for the foreclosure
of liens upon personal property; provided,
however, nothing contained herein shall pre -
elude the City, through its Harbor. Master,
from entering into an agreement with an
applicant for any mooring space, permitting
private sale of any mooring on which such
charges are delinquent.
