AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. To adopt an amendment to the city code that allows for the licensing of city land for <br />the installation of private docks by adjacent property owners. <br /> <br />2. Background. The City Council, at its meeting on February 9th, directed staff to finalize the <br />ordinance related to dock licensing. The final draft is provided as Exhibit A. The Council also <br />directed the City Attorney to draft a lease agreement template; that is attached as exhibit B. <br /> <br />The Council will appoint a dock administrator, expected to be the City Administrator or <br />Community Development Director, who will review the dock license and recommend an action <br />for the City Council. Since the lease agreement is a contract, the Mayor should sign it. <br /> <br />The draft allows only the owner of a particular lot on Crystal Bay Road to be eligible for a <br />particular dock site. If the Council wanted to expand the practice in the future, an ordinance <br />amendment will be necessary. <br /> <br />The only change from February is found in Section 38-905 (o). Staff added language regarding <br />payment options (full payment, or annual payment by April 1st) and a prorated refund option. <br /> <br />Staff has prepared a revision to the fee schedule introducing the license fee and license <br />application. The proposed fee schedule adds a license fee of $325 per year. <br /> <br />3. Public Comment. No written comments have been received to date. <br /> <br />4. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as drafted. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Staff recommends the Council approve the ordinance as drafted. <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />A. Draft Ordinance <br />B. Draft License agreement template <br />C.
