Description

‘A berth or not a berth – that was the question…’. Local ordinance targeted at marinas rears its ugly head in Sacramento showdown--MRA takes action on California Assembly Bill 282. Come hear the saga!

There is an old marketing adage that if you want to know what the country will look like in 10 years, look at what is happening in California today. If that is true of the City of Alameda’s efforts to impose the first rent control ordinance in the country on recreational marinas, then marina owners and operators take heed!  Find out the City’s possible motives, methodology and how they attempted to implement this at the state level. Hear about the collective efforts of local operators, boaters and the MRA to educate the City and public on how this could threaten the safety and cleanliness of the harbors and the Bay.
