Town Hall Input Page 3 of6 May 12, 2007 Increase occupancy at harbor - Reconfiguration of the docks may increase occupancy and is a proposed capital improvement project. Marketing and promotion Publicize marina Sell advertising on website Charge airport for emergency use and maintenance - The City and Alameda County Fire Department could consider negotiating an emergency use fee with the Port of Oakland. It is unlikely that the Port would agree to a new fee for response. Port pay for damage from silts - There is no proven connection between the Port and siltation of the Channel. Park fee - see Charge for parking, above. Relocate boat launch (close channe14/4A)- This option could result in minor cost savings. Sell berth space - The City could explore the possibility of dockiminiums, if the City owns the water rights. A 40 foot dockiminium slip at Emerycove currently sells for $56k. The Emerycove harbor also collects a monthly fee. This could create a one time infusion of funding; however, it is inconsistent with our policy to maintain the shoreline as public land. The responsibility of dredging would have to be negotiated. Connect Kaiser development to fund marina- There is no link between development at the old Albertson's distribution site and the manna. Not enough money from Walmart and other big business (Kaiser) Cut someplace else Develop land area of the marina to generate funds - This will be explored by the City through the master developer process. Fundraising booth at the Cherry Festival Channel 7, use to generate funds Only 20% ofberthers are from SL, charge out of city berthers more - Th3 Calboat loan prohibits rate discrimination. Reduce docks Sell spoils - The major cost of disposal is the cost to load and haul it offsite. The $1.5m in dredge disposal costs last dredging cycle was for a short run haul and included free disposal. J ettylbreakwater - The two mile channel makes this option cost prohibitive. Fill by El Torrito and sell the land- Regulatory agencies prohibit the filling in of the bay. Provide funds from revenues from golf course, restaurants - Lease revenue could continue to cover part of the cost of harbor operations. Alllease revenue, however, is insufficient to cover the cost of dredging and needed capital improvements. Additionally, there would continue to be no funding for other types of development in the marina shoreline area including implementing the Connections Plan and attracting new restaurants and a hotel.
