Long Beach City Council amends lease contract with Stan Miller Yachts
What Happened: The Long Beach City Council voted on March 1 to amend the city’s lease agreement with Stan Miller Yachts, Inc.; the amendment would remove any and all references to use of slips designated to the yacht broker at Alamitos Bay Marina. City staff explained the slips referenced no longer exist due to the recent demolition and rebuild of Alamitos Bay Marina. “The approved California Coastal
Commission slip mix made it necessary to relocate the Stan Miller vessels,” city staff stated in a report to council members. Stan Miller Yachts entered into a lease
agreement with the city of Long Beach in 1994 to operate a 2,250-square-foot showroom at Alamitos Bay Marina. The agreement also designated slips to the brokerage in Basin 2.
What’s On Tap: Stan Miller Yachts will enter into a slip agreement with Bancap Marina Center and the city, ideally ahead of the completion of the new docks in April.
Newport Beach City Council postpones vote on lifeguard rescue vessel purchase
What Happened: An agenda item requesting Newport Beach City Council approval for a purchase of a 29-foot Crystaliner lifeguard rescue vessel from Willard Marine, Inc. was tabled to a later meeting. The City Council was scheduled to
vote on whether to allocate $394,710 for the purchase of a new lifeguard rescue vessel. City staff, however, pulled the item from the March 8 consent calendar. Newport Beach’s Fire Department cur-
rently has a fleet of three lifeguard rescue vessels; the oldest unit was built in 1985 and logged more than 10,400 service hours. The other two vessels were built in 2003 and 2007, respectively.
What’s On Tap: The City Council will revisit the purchase and vote at a future meeting. More information about the bid- ding process and the city’s plans with the 1985 Crystaliner will be provided when the City Council revisits the vote.
