Statement of Need The City of San Leandro Marina owns and operates a 465 berth recreational marina. Various issues arise commencing in a vessel being abandoned, such as death of the owner, non-payment, or a vessel dropped off in the marina. Currently there are three vessels that have been liened and authorized for sale by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The vessels went up for lien sale in March and were not sold. The vessels are on the most current list to be destroyed and disposed. In addition, there are three vessels in the middle of lien processing that may also need to be destroyed and disposed. Due to severe budget cuts, the City is no longer able to pay for destntction and disposal of vessels. For purposes of cost estimation, attached is a quote from Parker Diving Service for two of the liened vessels. Based on the quote for two vessels, 1 estimate a total cost of$75,000 for six vessels. The City's municipal code Title 1, Chapter 5, section 200 states: expenditures in excess of$5,000 are subject to competitive bidding. Plan of Action • From 2004 through 2010 an average of two vessels per year were destroyed and disposed. Over the past 2 years the San Leandro Marina has liened 27 boats. 4 of the -SAN/ Stephen H.Cassidy,Mayor , 774r.0 • • City Council: Pauline Russo Cutter Michael J.Gregory Benny Lee `M ,F Jim Prola Ursula Reed Diana M.Souza
