File Number: 23-472 demolition of the dilapidated structures at the Marina to maintain public safety and reduce criminal activity that threatens the public and the environment. The demolition includes the removal of the boarded-up buildings, including the former Harbor Master’s Office, Spinnaker Yacht Club, San Leandro Yacht Club and restrooms, as well as removal of the ramps to the decommissioned boat docks. Removal of the abandoned boats is an essential next step in preparing for the demolition activities that are expected to begin in early 2024. Analysis In the last two fiscal years, the City received a total of $197,900 from the SAVE grant program. Using the SAVE-21 and SAVE-22 grant awards, Public Works removed a total of 17 vessels. With the closure of the harbor last January, boaters were given the opportunity to relinquish their vessels to the City for submission to the SAVE grant program. Staff applied for the SAVE-23 grant for FY2023-2024 based on anticipated need. On September 20, 2023, the State awarded $142,325 in grant funds and issued the Grant Agreement - Certificate of Funding. Pursuant to California Harbors and Navigation Code §525(c), a 10% local matching contribution is required for the SAVE grant. The contribution may be rendered in cash, or through in-kind contributions that must be verified and approved, all at the discretion of the Department of Boating and Waterways. The local matching contribution could include, but is not limited to, administrative costs, personnel hours, and removal costs. The City will contribute the 10% local matching contribution in administrative costs and personnel hours (overseeing contracts and preparing watercraft for towing, removal and disposal). If the grant agreement is not authorized, the Shoreline Fund will bear the cost without reimbursement. Financial Impacts Sufficient funds are included in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Shoreline Fund budget (597-57-177-5165) for removal and disposal of abandoned and surrendered vessels. The SAVE-23 grant will reimburse a sum not to exceed $142,325. This Council action will not impact fund balance because there are funds available in the FY2023-2024 adopted budget.
