Cal. Harbors and Navigation Code § 71.7.5

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, Section 40 of this code, Section 30233 of the Public Resources Code, or any contract or agreement to the contrary, Sonoma County may provide facilities at the Spud Point Marina for commercial, recreational, or other vessels, in numbers that it determines appropriate, subject only to the following: (a) Sonoma County may maintain an advisory committee for the Spud Point Marina, whose membership is representative of the marina users, and shall give the advisory committee at least 30 days’ notice before changing any berthing rates at the Spud Point Marina, and shall consider, but is not obligated to follow, any recommendations of the advisory committee. (b) Sonoma County may establish different berthing rates and any other charges for commercial, recreational, or other vessels, if the board of supervisors determines that the differing rates or charges are in the public interest, and if any loans from the department are outstanding, are necessary to provide revenue to repay those loans. However, if any loans are outstanding, berthing rates at the Spud Point Marina for recreational vessels shall not exceed the highest rates charged for berthing within the Spud Point Marina market area for recreational vessels.
