Amendments to Chapter 90 (Waterways) Municipal Code
Summary
A complete overhaul of the rules governing city slips, buoys and kayak racks — new waitlist structure, resident eligibility standards, annual recertification, spouse-only transfers, and a boat lift requirement starting 2030. Waitlist folks will need to recertify every year by February 1 starting in 2028 or lose their spot.

Impact analysis
New fees are in the mix — $50 to join slip/buoy waitlists, $25 for kayak racks, a proposed $5 annual recertification fee, and boat owners may need to buy lifts.
Residents and serious applicants get a cleaner, fairer waitlist, and the piers get protection from storm damage.
Short-term rental owners, landlords and non-residents lose eligibility for some facilities, and waitlist holders face new annual recertification deadlines.
