Wharfage Fees Could Drop at Carl E. Moses Harbor

By

Tuesday, March 11 2014

Vessels at the Carl E. Moses Small Boat Harbor might see a big drop in the charge for on- and off-loading cargo at the harbor’s drive-down float if city council approves changes to the fee schedule.

An ordinance amending the fees is up for a first reading at tonight’s council meeting.

Ports Director Peggy McLaughlin says in her memo to council that the current wharfage fees are unreasonably high for how the drive-down float is being used.

The Parks, Culture, & Recreation Center’s annual Polar Bear Run was held on the afternoon of February 23rd, 2014. The weather conditions this year were possibly the nicest they could have been on the day of the run, with very little snow on the road and clear, blue skies with the sun shining overhead. 59 participants ran in the race, which is a distance of 5K with a 2 mile youth course. Both the adult and youth courses started near Memorial Park on Front Beach Road and ran out past the City Landfill and back.
