City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT Regular Meeting

City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT Regular Meeting E.06 To: Mayor and Council File No.: 13460-20/LH From: Parks, Recreation & Culture Department Date: April 16, 2018 "Bylaw No(s):" 7752,2018 Delta Harbour Regulation Bylaw No. 6990,2012, Amendment Bylaw No. 7752, 2018 The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the Acting City Manager. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Delta Harbour Regulation Bylaw No. 6990,2012, Amendment Bylaw No. 7752, 2018, be given first, second and third readings (Attachment A). PURPOSE: To amend Delta Harbour Regulation Bylaw No. 6990, 2012 by replacing Schedule B with a new fee schedule for the years 2019 to 2021. BACKGROUND: Delta Harbour Regulation Bylaw No. 6990, 2012, was adopted by Council on August 13, 2012. A fee schedule for operations at Ladner Harbour (Harbour) was established within the bylaw. An Amendment Bylaw No. 7349, 2014 was adopted in November 2014, to increase the fees for 2015 to 2017 (Attachment B). A new fee schedule is required for the period 2019 to 2021, along with updates to Part 3 Definitions to change reference to Municipality to City and Wharfinger to Harbour Master. Council Policy: Council approves all bylaws. DISCUSSION: The most recent fee schedule for the Harbour was valid from 2015 to 2017. Current fees remain the same as those applied in 2017. The Ladner Harbour Fishers' Committee reviewed and supported the 2019 to 2021 fee schedule on January 24, 2018 at its regular meeting. Proposed fee increases will ensure that the Harbour is not undercutting local businesses, but will continue to keep the Harbour working as a viable fishing harbour. If approved, notice of the increase in

Page 2 of 2 Delta Harbour Regulation Bylaw No. 6990, 2012, Amendment Bylaw No. 7752, 2018 13460-20/LH April 16, 2018 fees for the period 2019 to 2021, will be provided to individuals that moor their boats at the Harbour. Electrical charges at the Harbour have been increasing over the past few years, but are lower than cost for this area. A proposed 15% increase for electrical charges will take effect in January 2019. In addition, a nominal increase for moorage, lockers and administration fees are included. The Harbour has installed electrical meters on Dock C that moors the larger fishing vessels so that the Harbour Master can monitor the electrical consumption of these vessels. Implications: Financial Implications - The 2019 to 2021 fee schedule will generate revenue for the Ladner Harbour Authority, and offset operational costs. II CONCLUSION: Delta Harbour Regulation Bylaw No. 6990, 2012, Amendment Bylaw No. 7752, 2018 meets the consideration and principles established by the Ladner Harbour Authority, the Ladner Harbour Fishers' Committee and Fisheries and Oceans Canada Small Craft Harbours.
