[Adopted 3-17-2009 by Ord. No. 181]
A fund within the system of accounts for the City, entitled
the "Emergency Harbor Dredging Fund," is hereby established.
The purpose of this fund is to provide money for the dredging
of the federal channel of the New Buffalo Harbor, on an emergency
basis and not to supplant the regular maintenance dredging performed
by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
The initial fee schedule shall be $1 from each daily public
boat launch pass and $5 from each yearly public boat launch pass.
This fee schedule may be altered by a resolution of the City Council,
after receiving a recommendation from the Harbor Commission.
The initial annual contribution from each slip in the harbor
shall be $10. This contribution amount may be altered by a resolution
of the City Council, after receiving a recommendation from the Harbor
Commission.
All revenues collected shall be deposited in the dedicated fund
and shall be used for no other purpose than emergency harbor dredging
of the federal channel.
Monies from the fund may be utilized for emergency dredging
after the recommendation made by the Harbor Commission and approved
by the City Council.
Upon recommendation by the Harbor Commission and approval by
the City Council, collection of funds may be suspended for any one
fiscal year and subsequently reinstated as the need arises.
Upon recommendation of the Harbor Commission, the City Council
may discontinue the Emergency Harbor Dredging Fund. Upon discontinuation
of the Fund as provided herein, any funds remaining in the Emergency
Harbor Dredging Fund account shall be dispersed as follows:
