Santa Barbara Harbor Commission met Jan. 2026. The commission welcomed new member Spencer Jemez, unanimously approved negotiating a new lease with Moby Dick's at Stearns Wharf, received a midyear budget update (noting $368,000 in unresolved rent and a small net revenue gain), reviewed vessel-insurance compliance, and heard a facilities report about a sudden loss of routine federal dredging funding and planned lobbying to replace it.
