WHEREAS, the City of Clearwater wishes to authorize a third addendum to the
commercial and private dock permits for storage of vessels at all City of Clearwater
boat storage facilities incorporating provisions implemented 1 July 2006 in House Bill
7175 to protect marina property during storms, adding an insurance requirement to
cover dock damage and language requiring tenants keep vessels in operating order;
now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA:
Section 1. The City Council hereby accepts and approves authorizing an
addendum to the commercial and private dock permits incorporating provisions to
protect marina property during storms passed in House Bill 7175 that allows for removal
of vessels from a marina if deemed appropriate at the time that a tropical storm or
hurricane watch is issued, or allow the marina owner to take whatever reasonable
actions deemed necessary to properly secure vessels to minimize damage to both the
vessels and marina property, as well as charge the vessel owner a fee for the services
rendered.
Section 2. In addition to the $500,000 liability insurance currently required of
commercial tenants, City Council hereby authorizes requiring both commercial and
private tenants to carry a minimum $10,000 insurance coverage, with the City as
additional insured, for any damage done by tenant's vessels to City docks. A copy of
this insurance, with the City as additional insured, is to be provided to the Marine &
Aviation Director or his assistant, and kept current yearly. Failure to provide proof of
insurance with this provision will result in tenant's dock permit being cancelled and
owners being asked to remove their vessel from City dock facilities.
Section 3. The "Boat Owner's Responsibility; Maintenance" sections of both
the commercial and private dock permits shall state that vessels shall be kept in a
seaworthy/operable condition.
