The Boating Unit of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office has kept a boat at the Woodley Island Marina since 2015.  The Boating Safety Program is responsible for activities such as enforcement of state and local boating regulations, inspection of vessels, as well as search and rescue operations. The Marina is operated by the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District.  The attached berthing permit and rental agreement with the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District will allow the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office to continue to use the moorage space located at the Woodley Island Marina for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

 

Accordingly, staff recommends that the Board approve, and authorize the Chair of the Board to execute, the attached berthing permit and rental agreement with the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District regarding the use of moorage space located at the Woodley Island Marina for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
