BACKGROUND The San Leandro Marina ceased operations in January 2023, subsequently the area was closed to the public and posted with no trespassing signs. The Marina, including the abandoned yacht club buildings, boat yard, and parking lots will be redeveloped into a 13-acre park, hotel, and apartment building. However, redevelopment has not started, and this large area has been vacant for eleven months. During this time, vandalism has become a problem at the Marina. Copper wires have been stolen from buildings and underground vaults, ultimately resulting in turning off the electricity and the removal of several electrical transformers by PG&E. The 21,000-sf deck of the former Blue Dolphin Restaurant burned to the ground resulting in an emergency contract for cleanup. The existing vacant buildings have been boarded up but are still repeatedly broken into, vandalized, and damaged. In addition to vandalism on land, a 40’ gangway to the docks has been stolen. Present on site are several boats docked in the closed Marina, which are not permitted to be present. Within the Marina there are two sunken boats and ten floating boats that have been surrendered to the City; there are also several privately owned boats. Many of the boats, both City and privately owned, have people living in them. The unused facilities at the Marina are an attractive nuisance and a dangerous condition of public property. The City has applied for permits from regulatory agencies for removal of the buildings and will bring a contract for that work to Council as soon as possible. The sunken boats are an environmental hazard as they potentially contain gasoline or other hazardous chemicals that could leak or leach into the bay. The City is working on an emergency contract with Lind Marine to remove them as soon as possible. The sunken boat removal contract is well within the $100,000 contract authority granted to the City Manager and will not be brought to the City Council. On October 16, 2023, the City Council authorized the execution of a grant from the State to partially offset the cost of boat removal. Staff expects to receive permission from the State to use these funds Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/1/2023
