Analysis:
In April 2016, the City of Huntington Beach partnered with Davenport Marina, Peter’s Landing Marina, Huntington Harbour Marina, and OC Parks to apply for a grant from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program (ECP), Tier 1, to purchase and install Marina Trash Skimmer (MTS) units, which was ultimately awarded.
These MTS units were purchased by the City and installed between July 2017 and March 2019 in various locations within the waters of Huntington Harbour in order to remove floating and partially-submerged trash and debris, as well as remove hydrocarbons from the surface.
The MOU between the City and the grant partners, including Davenport Marina, formally authorizes the installation and establishes maintenance responsibilities of the MTS units at the various locations for the next ten years.
The City previously executed an MOU between the City and grant partner Davenport Marina in April 2018. The existing MOU between the City and the previous owners of Davenport Marina (Stanko family) needs to be amended, as Davenport Marina was recently sold by the Stanko family to Daimler1 SA, LLC.
The MOUs between the City and the grant partners establishes the responsibilities for the MTS units for the next ten years, once installed. The amended MOU will expire in 2028. The MOU will require the partners to provide and pay for the electrical power to power the MTS units and conduct weekly routine maintenance. The City will conduct the quarterly maintenance and perform other maintenance, such as replacing parts.
