City of San Leandro Civic Center, 835 E. 14th Street San Leandro, California 94577 September 19, 2001 Jana Clarke CA Department of Boating and Waterways 20fl0 Evergreen Street, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95815 Dear Ms. Clarke, The City of San Leandro operates a-150 berth public facility for small pleasure craft. There are currently three (3) abandoned recreational vessels within its jurisdiction. These vessels pose a toxic hazard to the enviroiunent and are creating a blight upon the public waterways. Pursuant to the California Harbors and Navigation Code, after obtaining title to the abandoned property for purposes of abatement, the City intends to use the services of a private contractor, to remove these vessels from the public waterways and dispose of them. In the past year, the City has successfully utilized the services of Tiger Divers to dispose of seventeen (17) abandoned vessels. This was accomplished by salvaging and towing the vessels to a nearby launch ramp, removing all hazardous materials, and trailering the vessels to a nearby waste transfer station. The City of San Leandro is requesting financial assistance from the California Department of Boating and Waterways to help pay the costs of the safe removal and disposal of the three abandoned vessels that are currently within its jurisdiction as well as those that may arise in the future. Thank you for your consideration. Pat Egan viarina S pe isor Shelia young, Mayor 6 ..;.v Council: Orv~af "OB" BadQer 30o Liaze~ ~uriene G Grant: uarrv A. Loerrler ~ i~Ienaa ,Vardine: Tonv Santos
