FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Santa Monica Pier Harbor Excursion Services
Introduction
This report concerns the trial period operating agreement for
Harbor Excursion Services operating from the Santa Monica Pier
and .recommends that the City Council approve the agreement as
submitted.
Background
On July 1, 1980, City Council heard a proposal by Mr. D. M. Budai,
President, Universal Maxine Corporation to offer harbor excursion
services operating from the Santa Monica Pier. The operation
consists of cruises along the shoreline adjacent to the Santa
Monica region in a passenger carrying vessel certified by the
U. S. Coast Guard for offshore use. On Council's instructions,
City Staff has prepared an agreement (Exhibit A) for this harbor
excursion operation. The agreement is in the form of a license to
permit a trial period of not to exceed twelve (12) months operation,
with the Licensee having the option to cease operations after an
initial ninety (90) day period should business fail to support the
operation. „b.ould the operation continue the full twelve (12)
months period, the operation would be subject to lease negotiations
or open bidding for continued use.

a
The agreement provides for five percent (5 %) gross return to the
City' which is consistent- with similar harbor and marina tour
operations in Southern California. Liability insurance and hold
harmless clauses are included in favor of the City' as well as the
requirements of Chapter 2, Municipal Harbor Code, (.Exhibit B).
Coastal Commission approval is not necessary for this
operation as no physical modification to the pier is required
other than a free standing ticket booth and guard rails.
Recommendation
It is the recommendation of City Staff that Council approve
the trial operating agreement as submitted.

SANTA MONICA PIER LESSEES ASSOCIATION
June 17, 193.0
To Members of the Santa Monica City Council;
Re: Proposed Outer Harbor Cruise
In an effort to create new programs and further the attractive-
ness of the pier, we believe that a competently operated oceaT1
sightseeing tour would be a valuable addition to existing
entertainment facilities. We have searched and found what wp
believe is a most competent and experienced company in this
area. After calling upon several companies in the field,
Long Beach Catalina Cruises, San Pedro Harbor Service,
Redondo Beach Operators, none of whom had boats suitable for
our purpose, they we unanimous in referring us to Universal
Marine in Long Beach. Mr. Don Budui of Universal Marine was
most cooperative in working out a proposed plan. His familiar-
ity with Santa Monica Bay, similar operations of this nature,
access to crew, insurance, and financial responsibility makes
him the most viable operator.
In addition, Mr. Budygi is operating the Long Beach Harbor Cruise
in connection with the City of Long Beach. There he has Gray
Line Tours, including the Long Beach Harbor Tour as part of
their itinerary, He feels confident that similar cooperation
could be obtained for a Santa Monica tour. This, again, would
be a most valuable adjunct to the attractiveness of the pier
and the City of Santa Monica.
There is little need to emphasize the significance of this pro-
posal for all concerned. As Summer is upon us, it behooves us
to proceed with this program.
`rho Santa Monica Pier Lessees Association will. cooperate with
Mr. Budui in a concerted effort to advertise and merchandise
these cruises in order to insure a successful program.
Sincerely,
Clarence Harmon
President, Santa,Monica Pier Lessees Assn.
