(a) A limited number of mooring spaces shall be available for reservation on an annual basis beginning July 1 of each year and ending on June 30 of the following year. Any boat owner desiring to guarantee the availability of a mooring space may apply to the Harbormaster for assignment of a reserved mooring space.
(b) Should there be more boat owners requesting annual reserved mooring spaces than there are reserved mooring spaces then boat owners applying to renew mooring reservations shall be given priority over boat owners who did not have reserved mooring the previous year. Remaining unassigned mooring spaces will be assigned by lottery.
(c) Before any reserved mooring space may be assigned, the annual fee therefore as set forth in Chapter 4 of this Title shall be paid. Failure to make the required payment in the time required forfeits assignment of the reserved mooring space.
(d) The assignment of a reserved mooring space does not imply nor guarantee the exclusive right to use such space or any other property right therein. Assignment of a reserved mooring space to a boat is a guarantee that the reserved space will be made available for the use of the Boat assigned thereto during those periods when the boat is within the boat harbor facilities. Assigned mooring spaces may not be sublet or transferred except in the event that the Boat owner disposes of the boat assigned to the reserved mooring space and replaces the boat with another boat of similar size. The Harbormaster may reassign a boat to a different reserved mooring space.
(e) Assignment to a reserved mooring space may be canceled by the boat owner of the boat assigned to the mooring space by giving written notice the Harbormaster at least 30 days before the intended cancellation date. Upon effective cancellation any prepaid mooring will be refunded based on the number of full months for which the mooring space was reserved.
