<br />' EXHIBIT A -Attachment 1 <br />Department of Boating and Waterways <br />i Maintenance Guidelines <br />Introduction <br />This document presents guidelines for meeting the minimum maintenance <br />standards for the operation and maintenance of publicly owned boat launching <br />facilities that are funded by the California Department of Boating and Waterways <br />(DBW). <br />Because DBW funds these publicly owned facilities, the State has a financial <br />stake in their success. The attached guidelines, developed by DBW, are intended <br />to ensure that DBW funded boat launch facilities are managed and maintained in <br />a manner compatible with DBW's mission - to provide safe and convenient <br />boating access -and that the public entity owning the facility (the "Agency") is <br />fulfilling its responsibilities. The Agency's primary responsibility in this context is <br />maintaining the value of the property, including both tangible site improvements <br />and the intangible value of the boat launch facility's reputation with the boating <br />public. <br />Scope <br />The scope of these guidelines is limited to those items that reflect the quality of <br />the boat launch facility (BLF) and its operations. The seven categories that are <br />addressed are: (1) regular maintenance, (2) major maintenance, (3) boat launch <br />facility staff, (4) boat launch facility operations and administration, (5) boat launch <br />facility regulations, (6) security, and (7) amenities. <br />The scope does not include financial measures and other items that would be <br />covered separately when a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Operating <br />Agreement, Concession Agreement or Lease Agreement occurred between an <br />Agency and an operator. In addition, these guidelines are separate from, and <br />complementary to, the conditions and expectations set forth in any contractual <br />agreement that might exist between the Agency and an operator. These <br />guidelines were developed under the assumption that any contractual obligations, <br />such as financial performance, reporting, and lease payments from an operator to <br />an Agency, would be monitored separately. However, in the event that an <br />Agency contracts out the operation of a BLF to an operator, any agreement <br />between the Agency and the operator must specify that the operator must apply <br />these guidelines and operate and maintain the BLF to at least the minimum <br />condition that would be achieved by following these guidelines. <br />DEPARTMENT OF BOATING AND WATERWAYS 1 <br />
