VALDEZ SMALL BOAT HARBOR SCHEDULE OF RATES AND FEES RESOLUTION NO. 08-58
SECTION I. MOORAGE FEES
A. Annual Slip Rental
The due date for all annual moorage rentals is established as January 1 in any calendar year and considered past due on February 1 of any calendar year to allow maximum utilization of the Valdez Small Boat Harbor.
The annual moorage fee for reserved moorage privileges shall be based on the length of float assigned or the overall length of the vessel (including all hull attachments, such as bowsprits, davits, dinghies, etc.) whichever is longer.
The rate structure for reserved moorage privileges on A-M Docks will be increased every year to help offset the ongoing effects of inflationary pressures and other cost escalations associated with the long-term maintenance and operations of the Valdez Small Boat Harbor. Annual increases will be set in three year increments and be expressed as a percentage amount, not to be exceeded.
For the three year period 2009, 2010, and 2011 the annual increase for reserved moorage on A-M Docks will be an amount not to exceed ten percent (10%) per year. This resolution authorizes an increase of up to this amount each of these years, except that the City Council may during the annual budget process, set the increase at a lesser amount for the next calendar year.
Reserved moorage rates on A-M Docks for the 2009 will be charged at $20.00 per foot per year
Tour Boat Dock moorage rates will be evaluated periodically, but will not automatically increase unless authorized by this resolution. Tour Boat Dock rates will be charged at $69.46 per foot per year.
All tour boats 60 feet overall length or longer shall be berthed at the Tour Boat Dock facility. All slips located at the Tour Boat Dock facility shall be classed as 60-foot slips. The rate shall be the annual moorage rate fee per foot per year based on the 60-ft. length of the slip or the vessel length, whichever is greater.
B. Transient Slip Rental
The annual moorage fee for transient moorage privileges shall be 115% of the rate charged for reserved moorage.

The monthly rate for transient moorage, based on the overall length of the vessel (including all hull attachments, such as bowsprits, dinghies, davits, etc.) shall be eight dollars and seventy-five cents ($8.75) per foot for all docks except the tour dock slips, which shall be twenty dollars ($20.00) per foot if paid in advance.
