Finance committee recommends assembly approve Tariff No. 3 updating vessel impact fees
Summary
The committee recommended the assembly approve Resolution 24-25R (Tariff No. 3), which cleans up fee language and reflects vessel impact fees that the municipality has implemented since Jan. 1, 2024.
The finance committee recommended that the assembly approve Resolution 24‑25R, which updates Tariff No. 3 to clarify definitions and fees related to vessels. The chair said the tariff language was being cleaned up to reflect prior practice and stated the vessel impact fee was changed "from $8.50 to $13" per head and private‑dock fees from "$3.50 to $8," which, the chair said, had been vetted with cruise‑line stakeholders.
Treasurer Heather confirmed the tariff edits were intended to align the written tariff with practices that have been in effect since Jan. 1, 2024. Committee member Deb moved that finance recommend assembly approval; the motion was seconded and the committee voted to forward the recommendation to the assembly.
Committee members discussed clarifying typos and minor grammatical edits before final adoption; the committee treated the tariff as a cleanup to reflect already‑implemented rates rather than a new rate increase.
