TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Long Beach and the Long Beach Yacht Club, a non-profit public benefit corporation, establishing a Management Agreement for the long dock adjacent to the clubhouse, located at 6201 Appian Way. (District 3)
DISCUSSION
Through the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine, Marine Bureau, the City of Long Beach (City) manages a long dock located adjacent to the Long Beach Yacht Club (LBYC) clubhouse in Alamitos Bay Marina. Nearly all of the activity on the long dock is related to functions of the LBYC, since it is not easily accessible for other public uses. As such, there is minimal revenue generated from the long dock, estimated at less than $1,000 per year.
The rebuild of the Alamitos Bay Marina is scheduled to begin in 2008. This rebuild will be accomplished in phases to minimize the temporary vessel movement and relocation needed for the project. Each phase will require the relocation of vessels measuring many thousands of lineal feet during construction of the phase. This will require the construction of long docks during the first phase in order to create vessel-holding spaces for subsequent construction phases. One of these docks will be the extension of the City-owned long dock adjacent to the LBYC, which will add about 400 lineal feet to the dock. This extension cannot be completed without the rebuild of the existing long dock, as this existing long dock is showing serious structural deficiencies due to its age.
Once it is rebuilt, the long dock will become home to the fleet of Catalina 37 vessels used by the LBYC for match races, such as the annual Congressional Cup. These vessels are currently docked in Basin 4, free of charge, and relocating them to the long dock will create a new revenue potential to the City totaling over $63,000 per year once the marina rebuild is complete. Once the rebuilt and extended long dock is no longer needed for t...
