   (A)   The Director, or his or her designee, shall have the right to move any boat or vessel from its place of berth in city facilities when, in his or her opinion, it is necessary in order to conserve space, to repair the dock or because of a previous reservation, or for any other goods and sufficient reason within his or her discretion as set forth in this chapter.
   (B)   In the event the owner or captain or any other person connected with the boat or vessel, violates any of the provisions of this chapter or generally creates a nuisance, in the opinion or discretion of the Director, or his or her designee, the Director, or his or her designee, shall recommend to the City Commission, that such boat or vessel be ordered to depart, permanently. The owner or captain of such boat or vessel shall be informed of such recommendation by the Director, or his or her designee, and shall receive a list of charges, in writing, upon which is based the recommendation for removal. The owner or captain shall have the right to appear before the City Commission, in answer to the charges brought by the Director, or his or her designee, and shall be bound by the final decision of the City Commission.
   (C)   In the event the City Commission authorizes removal of any boat or vessel by appropriate resolution, the owner or captain shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of the current year’s dockage fee, to date of such resolution of removal, and failure to abide by such resolution of removal shall constitute a trespass enforceable by the Police Department of the city.
