TITLE: Disestablish the Mooring Ad Hoc Committee
ABSTRACT:
At the February 11, 2015 Harbor Commission meeting, the Commission established a Mooring
Ad Hoc Committee to review the administration of the moorings and to recommend a path
forward to the Harbor Commission. Three Commissioners were selected for this ad hoc
committee which then left one Commissioner excluded from the ad hoc committee process.
Therefore, to create efficiencies and to maximize Commissioner participation, the Harbor
Commission will disestablish the Mooring Ad Hoc Committee, and will instead, hold regular,
publicly noticed, Harbor Commission meetings to discuss the mooring topic on an as-needed
basis with the entire four, non-conflicted Commissioners.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. The Harbor Commission will disestablish the Mooring Ad Hoc Committee previously
established on February 11, 2015.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the Harbor Commission find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result
in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and
15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines,
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in
physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the
meeting at which the Harbor Commission considers the item).
