EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
This Service and Sphere of Influence Review provides information about the services and
boundaries regarding the Santa Cruz Port District (referred to as “SCPD” and “District”).
The report will be used by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to conduct
a statutorily required review and update process. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act
requires that LAFCO conduct periodic reviews and updates of Spheres of Influence for
all cities and special districts in Santa Cruz County (Government Code Section 56425). It
also requires LAFCO to conduct a review of municipal services before adopting sphere
updates (Government Code Section 56430). The last service review conducted for SCPD
was adopted on August 7, 2019.
The service review process does not require LAFCO to initiate changes of organization
based on service review conclusions or findings; it only requires that LAFCO make
determinations regarding the delivery of public services in accordance with Government
Code Section 56430. However, LAFCO, local agencies, and the public may subsequently
use the determinations and related analysis to consider whether to pursue changes in
service delivery, government organization, or spheres of influence.
Service and sphere reviews are informational documents and are generally exempt from
environmental review. LAFCO staff has conducted an environmental review of the
District’s existing sphere of influence pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and determined that this report is exempt from CEQA. Such an exemption is due
to the fact that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in
question may have a significant effect on the environment (Section 15061[b][3]).
Service Provision
The Santa Cruz Port District was formed in 1950 by petition of the voters to provide for
and manage small craft harbor facilities in Santa Cruz County. The Santa Cruz Port
District offers slip renter services including wet berthing and dry storage, as well as visitor
services such as visitor berthing, launching and parking. The District also leases space
for restaurants, retail, office, and marine commercial businesses. The District’s facilities
are in-demand with an extensive wait list for all the slips and most dry storage spaces.
The District’s jurisdictional boundary borders the Pacific Ocean and encompasses a 27.9
square mile area that includes the City of Santa Cruz. The service area for the Santa Cruz
Harbor was defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers after review of data
provided by the United States Coast Guard and Collector of Customs. Figure 1 on page
3 provides a vicinity map showing the location of the District on the central coast of Santa
Cruz County.

Key Findings
The following are key findings of the 2024 Service and Sphere of Influence Review for
the Santa Cruz Port District:
1. The District provides harbor services to a population beyond its borders.
The Santa Cruz Port District encompasses 27.9 square miles consisting of the vast
majority of the City of Santa Cruz and surrounding unincorporated territory. However,
the District also serves a larger regional area that includes the San Francisco Bay
area and the San Joaquin Valley. The Santa Cruz Harbor is considered a regional
resource and, per the terms of the original agreement to construct the harbor with use
of state and federal funding, the District must provide equal boating opportunities to
all residents of the state, not just Port District residents. As a result, there is a constant
demand for small craft harbor space. Based on staff’s analysis, there will be a
continued need for services and facilities offered by the District.
2. The District is financially sound.
The Santa Cruz Port District’s financial ability to provide services is well established.
The District has successfully kept costs below its revenue stream since 2013. Audited
financial statements from Fiscal Years 2013 to 2023 indicate that the increase in net
position has ranged from $170,000 to as high as $6.6 million. As of March 31, 2023,
the District is operating with a net position of approximately $35 million and current
assets (ex. cash and cash equivalents) of approximately $16 million.
3. The District has an active joint agreement with the County and City of Santa
Cruz for over 30 years.
Since 1991, the District has redirected its property taxes towards the cost of municipal
services provided by the County and the City of Santa Cruz. In exchange for the
property tax redistribution, the two local agencies provide police, fire, traffic control,
and street maintenance services within the harbor area. While the agreement is
automatically extended on an annual basis, it may be beneficial for the affected
agencies to review the agreement and make any necessary updates, if warranted.
4. The District’s website is a model of accountability and transparency.
Senate Bill 929 was signed into law in September 2018 and requires all independent
special districts to have and maintain a website by January 1, 2020. It outlines
minimum website data requirements agencies must provide including contact
information, financial reports, and meeting agendas/minutes. The Santa Cruz Port
District maintains a comprehensive website that exceeds the minimum requirements
outlined in SB 929. LAFCO recommends that the District include a copy or link of the
latest service and sphere review on their website for additional transparency.
5. The District needs a sphere update.
LAFCO originally adopted a coterminous sphere for the District in December 1988.
The sphere has remained the same without activity for almost 40 years. Based on
LAFCO’s analysis, the sphere boundary should be amended to address existing
discrepancies, including but not limited to small portions of the City of Santa Cruz
being excluded in the current sphere. State law prohibits “dividing a municipal
corporation” (Harbors and Navigation Code Section 6210). LAFCO recommends
amending the sphere to include previously excluded portions of the City of Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 4 of 30
Recommended Actions
Based on the analysis and findings in the 2024 Service and Sphere of Influence Review
for the Santa Cruz Port District, the Executive Officer recommends that the Commission:
1. Find that pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, LAFCO
determined that the sphere of influence review is not subject to the environmental
impact evaluation process because it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment
and the activity is not subject to CEQA;
2. Determine, pursuant to Government Code Section 56425, the Local Agency
Formation Commission of Santa Cruz County is required to develop and determine a
sphere of influence for the Santa Cruz Port District, and review and update, as
necessary;
3. Determine, pursuant to Government Code Section 56430, the Local Agency
Formation Commission of Santa Cruz County is required to conduct a service review
before, or in conjunction with an action to establish or update a sphere of influence;
and
4. Adopt a Resolution (LAFCO No. 2024-15) approving the 2024 Service and Sphere of
Influence Review for the Santa Cruz Port District with the following conditions:
a. Amend the District’s sphere of influence to include the previously excluded portions
of the City of Santa Cruz; and
b. Direct the Executive Officer to distribute a copy of the adopted service and sphere
review to the Santa Cruz Port District representatives and any other interested or
affected parties, including but not limited to the County and the City of Santa Cruz.

DISTRICT OVERVIEW
History
The Santa Cruz coast area was first surveyed in the early 1900s by the United States
Army Corps of Engineers for the purpose of establishing a safe harbor in this portion of
the Monterey Bay. The harbor was re-surveyed in the Fall of 1949 and, after extensive
field studies and numerous meetings with affected local, state, and federal agencies, it
was concluded that the Santa Cruz area was an appropriate location for a harbor. The
Santa Cruz Port District was then established in 1951 to provide management during the
construction phase of the Santa Cruz Harbor. The south (lower) harbor was completed in
1964 and has 390 designated docking areas for vessels known as “slips.” The north
(upper) harbor was completed in 1973 and has 586 slips. The Port District continued to
operate after construction was complete. Today, the District provides year-round services
and operations, specifically through seven programs: (1) Harbor Patrol, (2) Marina
Management, (3) Rescue Services, (4) Parking Services, and (5) Events, (6) Fuel
Services, and (7) Boatyard. The District also publishes a free newsletter to inform the
public about its ongoing operations, upcoming events, and status reports on a periodic
basis. Appendix A provides a copy of the latest newsletter (Spring 2024).
Service Area
The District boundaries encompass a 27.9 square mile area that includes the majority of
the City of Santa Cruz and unincorporated area to the north and east of the city. The
service area for the Santa Cruz Harbor was defined by the United States Army Corps of
Engineers after review of data provided by the United States Coast Guard and Collector
of Customs. The boundaries of the Port District encompass almost one-sixth the total
area of Santa Cruz County. The lower harbor, south of the Murray Street and Southern
Pacific Railroad bridges, was completed in 1964. The upper harbor, north of the bridges,
was completed in 1973. Figure 1 shows the District’s jurisdictional and sphere of
influence boundaries.
Services and Operations
The Santa Cruz Harbor is a commercial fishing and full-service small craft harbor. It is
bordered by Seabright Beach, Harbor Beach and Twin Lakes State Beach southwest and
southeast of the jetties, residential development on the east and west, and the Arana
Gulch greenbelt, owned by the City of Santa Cruz on the north. Permanent jetties placed
along the east and west sides of the Harbor’s entrance channel provide year-round
access to the Monterey Bay and Pacific Ocean. At present, the Santa Cruz Port District
encompasses approximately 38 acres of land and 52 acres of water area, and offers an
array of services including wet berthing, dry storage, visitor berthing, launching, and over
1,000 parking spaces.
The District owns the land within its jurisdictional boundary and leases space for
restaurant, retail, office, and marine commercial businesses. The Santa Cruz Port District
also accommodates non‐profit foundations, such as the O’Neill Sea Odyssey, Save Our
Shores, and Clean Oceans International. Though the majority of boat use within the
District is for recreational purposes, Santa Cruz Harbor provides berthing for a small
Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 6 of 30
commercial fishing fleet, numerous commercial charter operations, the marine education
foundation O’Neill Sea Odyssey, the U.S. Coast Guard, the California Air National Guard,
and a commercial vessel towing service. As a result, the District’s facilities are in high
demand and require maintaining a wait list for all of the slips and most dry storage spaces.
Tables A and B show the approximate wait time for each harbor slip. Slips can range
from 20 to 60-feet long.
Table A – Approximate Wait Time for Harbor Slips
South Harbor
24-Foot Slip 5 Years

45-Foot Slip 5 Years
As of June 1, 2024, the District has over 1,000 names on the wait list. The approximate
wait time for a slip to become available varies but on average it takes around 20 years for
south harbor locations and around six years for slips in the north harbor area. In addition
to harbor slips, there are also approximately 275 dry-stored vessels spaces available and
over 200 storage spaces for kayaks and dory-type vessels with minimal wait time. Table
C on page 8 provides a listing of the District’s current fees and rate for all services.
Dredging Servies
The Port District’s dredging operation occurs between November and April of each year.
This has occurred each year since the harbor was first constructed in 1964. Sand, which
moves downcoast through the process of littoral drift, becomes trapped in the harbor
entrance channel. The dredging operation picks up the sand deposited in the entrance
and places it downcoast, bypassing the east jetty, so it can continue to provide
replenishment and protection downcoast of the harbor. Why is this important? The District
supports a wide array of commercial and recreational activities that have a significant
impact on our local economy. Without the ability to perform annual maintenance dredging,
shoaling occurs and closes the facility. In other words, dredging is what makes the Port
District a harbor. The Port District is the only small craft harbor that has agreed to assume
responsibility for and share in the cost of dredging a federal navigation channel. The Port
District maintains a cooperative agreement with the US Army Corps of Engineers, which
sets the Corps’ reimbursement rate at 35% of actual average annual expenses based on
actual expenditures for the previous 5-year period. Accordingly, the annual federal
reimbursement was set at $525,000 for the period 2020-2024. The Port District’s current
annual dredging expenses equate to approximately $1,700,000.

Santa Cruz Harbor Patrol
The Harbor Patrol, with the assistance of contract operators, currently provides security
and enforcement of Port District ordinances, California Harbors and Navigation Codes,
and Penal and Vehicle Codes. Deputy Harbormasters provide site security and traffic
control, make arrests, prepare incident reports and provide mutual aid response to other
law enforcement agencies if requested. In addition to law enforcement duties, Deputy
Harbormasters perform vessel search and rescue services, and a wide range of program
management and customer services. In FY 2022-23, 8 full-time employees were assigned
to Harbor Patrol with a budget of approximately $807,000. Staffing levels have remained
static under the current fiscal year (FY 2024-25). The District has 8 full-time employees
assigned in this program with a current budget of approximately $884,000.
The County of Santa Cruz does not maintain its own marine search and rescue unit, and
instead relies on the Santa Cruz Harbor Patrol vessel and crew to provide first responder
marine search and rescue services within the County’s jurisdiction. Rescues performed
are conducted under the Coastal Incident Response Plan in coordination with City,
County and State resources. The County of Santa Cruz provides financial support for the
Rescue Services and Harbor Patrol programs which was increased in the County’s 2019-
20 budget from approximately $24,000 per year to $50,000 per year. The United States
Coast Guard staffs its Santa Cruz station in the harbor on various weekends between
Memorial Day and Labor Day. The Harbor Patrol and Coast Guard coordinate joint efforts
on those days.
Marina Management
Deputy Harbormaster and Operations staff manage and assigns berths and dry storage
space, monitors docks and dry storage areas for safety, staff the front counter 362 days
per year, administer invoicing and payment processes, monitor vessel use and confirm
current registration, perform vessel serviceability checks and electrolysis checks on an
as needed basis, manage the wait list, develop delinquency reports, conduct lien sales,
and provide customer service. In FY 2022-23, 1.5 full-time employees were assigned to
Marina Management with a budget of approximately $543,000. Staffing has remained
static under the current fiscal year (FY 2024-25). The District has 1.5 full-time employees
assigned in this program with a current budget of approximately $633,000.
Rescue Services
Rescue services are provided by the Harbor Patrol aboard two patrol vessels. Vessel
maintenance and harbor patrol staffing for the marine search and rescue program are
funded out of two budget programs: Harbor Patrol and Rescue Services. As noted above,
the County of Santa Cruz provides annual financial support for this program. The Port
District had previously contracted with the City of Santa Cruz to provide staffing and
oversight of the Harbor Beach lifeguard program. The Port District presently contracts
with State Parks to provide lifeguard service. In FY 2022-23, full-time harbor patrol staff
provided oversight and administration of the Rescue Services program with a budget of
approximately $108,000. Staffing has remained static under the current fiscal year (FY
2024-25), with harbor patrol staff providing oversight of this program with a budget of
approximately $154,000.
Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 9 of 30
Parking Services
Parking services encompass year-round staffing of the concession parking lot serving
2222 East Cliff Drive, the Crow’s Nest and its Beach Market (Café el Palomar), the SUP
Shack and Harbor Beach; beach parking permit sales; slip licensee and employee parking
permits; launch ramp parking and permits; water taxi and shuttle van services, and
parking ordinance enforcement. Revenues from parking meters, pay stations, permit
sales and concession lot receipts are used to fund parking services. In FY 2022-23, the
equivalent of 1.5 full-time employees were assigned to Parking Services with a budget of
approximately $389,000, and up to 20 part-time, seasonal personnel as well. Under the
current fiscal year (FY 2024-25), the District has the equivalent 1.5 full-time employees
assigned in this program and up to 20 part-time, seasonal personnel with a budget of
approximately $409,000.
Fuel Services
The Port District took over operation and maintenance of the harbor’s only fuel dock in
July 2010. The program is managed by the Deputy Harbormaster staff. Recurring
program costs include full and part-time staff, fuel purchases, taxes, storage tank fees,
maintenance and insurance, inspections, training, regulatory compliance and spill
prevention equipment and supplies. In FY 2022-23, full and part-time employees were
assigned to Fuel Services with a budget of approximately $806,000. Under the current
fiscal year (FY 2024-25), the District has the equivalent of 5 full-time employees assigned
in this program with a budget of approximately $523,000.
Events
This program is jointly managed by the District’s Operations and Administrative
Department, and comprises permitting, transportation and security for special events
such as the Crow’s Nest Thursday night beach barbecues, beach volleyball tournaments,
regattas, and other community events. In FY 2022-23, the equivalent of .4 full-time
employees were assigned to Events with a budget of approximately $23,000. Under the
current fiscal year (FY 2024-25), the District has the equivalent of .4 full-time employees
assigned in this program with a budget of approximately $34,000.
Santa Cruz Harbor Boatyard
The Port District took over operation and maintenance of the boatyard on February 1,
2014 and opened on April 7, 2014 as a Do‐It‐Yourself (DIY) facility. Boaters may perform
their own work or hire contractors from a list of registered contractors authorized to work
in the yard. Recurring program costs include staff, fuel purchases, taxes, storage tank
fees, inspections, permitting and environmental compliance, spill prevent equipment,
supplies, stormwater filtration costs, and equipment maintenance. In FY 2022-23, 2 full-
time and 1 part-time employees were assigned to the Harbor Boatyard with a budget of
approximately $365,000. Staffing has remained static under the current fiscal year (FY
2024-25). The District has 2 full-time and 1 part-time employees assigned in this program
with a budget of approximately $431,000.

Population and Growth
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Association of Monterey Bay
Area Governments (AMBAG) provide population projections for cities and counties in the
Coastal Region. In general, the Coastal Region is anticipated to have a slow growth over
the next twenty years. Based on this slow growth trend, the population for unincorporated
lands is expected to increase by 0.86% and 5.18% for the City of Santa Cruz. While official
growth projections are not available for special districts, the population for the City of
Santa Cruz, which is located within SCPD, was estimated to be around 64,000 in 2020.
Based on staff’s analysis, the population of SCPD in 2020 was approximately 99,000.
Table D shows the anticipated population within SCPD.
Population Projection
Based on the projections for Santa Cruz County, LAFCO was able to develop a population
forecast for the Santa Cruz Port District. LAFCO staff increased the District’s 2020
population amount by 3.34% each year: the average between the growth rate for the
County (0.86%) and the City (5.18%). Under this assumption, our projections indicate that
the entire population of SCPD will be approximately 113,000 by 2040.

Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities
State law requires LAFCO to identify and describe all “disadvantaged unincorporated
communities” (DUCs) located within or contiguous to the existing spheres of influence of
cities and special districts that provide fire protection, sewer, and/or water services. DUCs
are defined as inhabited unincorporated areas with an annual median household income
that is 80% or less than the statewide annual median household income.
In 2020, the California statewide annual median household income was $78,672, and
80% of that was $62,938. LAFCO staff utilized the ArcGIS mapping program to locate
potential DUCs in Santa Cruz County. It is important to note that the Santa Cruz Port
District is not subject to SB 244 because it does not provide water, sewer, or fire service,
and therefore, no further analysis is required.
Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 11 of 30
FINANCES
This section will highlight the District’s financial performance during the most recent fiscal
years. Fiscal Year 2022-23 is the latest audited financial statement available. LAFCO
evaluated the District’s financial health from 2013 to 2022. A comprehensive analysis of
SCPD’s financial performance during the past 10 years is shown in Tables G and H on
pages 17-18.
At the end of Fiscal Year 2022-23, total revenue collected was approximately
$15 million, representing a 21% increase from the previous year ($12 million in FY 21-
22). Total expenses for FY 2022-23 were approximately $11.2 million, which increased
from the previous year by 1% ($11 million in FY 20-21). SCPD has ended with a surplus
each year for the past decade, as shown in Figure 2. LAFCO staff believes this positive
trend may continue as the District mostly relies on charges for services rather than
property taxes or other stagnant revenue streams.

Operating Revenue
The Santa Cruz Port District’s primary source of revenue is from Charges for Berthing &
Services. The rates for berthing and other harbor-related services are reviewed annually,
and any proposed increases are approved through a public process. In FY 2022-23,
Charges for Berthing and Services totaled $9 million, representing approximately 61% of
the total revenue stream for that fiscal year. Earnings in Rent and Concessions were
estimated at $2 million, representing 14% of total revenue in FY 2022-23. Overall,
operating revenue represents 75% of the District’s entire revenue stream. Table E
highlights the operating revenue funds for FY 2022-23.
Non-Operating Revenue
In FY 2022-23, the District collected approximately $3.8 million in non-operating revenue.
Non-cash pension income ($1 million), grants related to the 2022 tsunami damage
($887,000), and dredging reimbursement ($525,000) are the largest contributors to the
non-operating revenue stream. Federal and state grants for the construction,
acquisition, improvement of capital assets, or assistance for dredging costs are
recorded as capital contributions. Revenues for reimbursement grants are recorded
when allowable expenditures are made. Since 1986, the District has taken over
responsibility for maintenance dredging of the federal entrance channel from the United
States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) under a Cooperative Agreement. In November
2015, the District entered into an agreement with the Corps to reimburse the District
for a portion of the actual dredging costs, only if federal funds are specifically
appropriated for that purpose. The agreement terminates on April 1, 2025. Due
to the uncertainty of the availability of federal funding, reimbursement funds are
recorded when received. Table E highlights the non-operating revenue funds for FY
2022-23.

Operating and Non-Operating Expenditure
Operating Expenditure
Total expenditure for FY 2022-23 was approximately $11 million. Operating expenditures
represent 96% of the District’s total expenditure with Depreciation & Amortization ($2.2
million), and Dredging Operations ($1.5 million) being the top two expenses. The
remaining operating expenditures include but are not limited to grounds maintenance,
administrative services, harbor patrol, boatyard operations, rescue services, and capital
projects. Figure 3 outlines all operating expenditures for FY 2022-23.
Non-Operating Expenditure
In FY 2022-23, the District’s non-operating expenditure only included two expense
categories: Tsunami Expense ($10,500) and Interest Expense ($394,000). It is important
to note that the District previously experienced tsunami expenses totaling $28,000 and
$17,000 in FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 respectively to address the aftermath of the 2011
tsunami. In 2022, tsunami damages and expenses again affected the District’s operation,
services, and infrastructure. An analysis of the tsunami and other natural disasters will be
discussed later in the report.

Reserve funds are not available for use to offset any expenditures that exceed total
appropriations. Reserve funds may only be used as approved by the Port Commission.
Intended uses and timeframes for reserve funds are summarized as follows:
• Dredge Fund: Funding for dredge equipment and maintenance needs is authorized
by the Port Commission as part of the annual budget. Annual spending may fully
extinguish the fund balance, or result in a carryover, reducing funding requirements
the following year.
• Reserve Fund: Intended to strengthen the financial stability of the District against
economic uncertainty, unexpected situations such as natural or man-made disasters,
unanticipated drop in revenues, and other unforeseen emergencies or extraordinary
circumstances. There is no specified timeframe for expenditure of reserve funds. The
Port District strives to hold in reserve an amount equal to 25% of the District's annual
operating expenses in the current fiscal year's adopted general budget, though the
reserve fund balance may fluctuate.
• Capital Improvement Fund: Funding for capital improvement projects identified in the
5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which is reviewed and adopted each year by
the Port Commission as part of the annual budget. The timeframe for project-related
expenditures is prioritized by the Port Commission as part of the CIP review and
adoption.
• Election Fund: Funding is set aside as part of the annual budget adoption to pay the
estimated biennial costs billed by the County for Port Commission election costs.
• PNC Reserve Restricted Fund: Restricted reserve fund to satisfy debt covenant
requirements of its long-term debt financing with PNC Bank (previously BBVA).

Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 18 of 30
GOVERNANCE
Legal Authority
The Santa Cruz Port District is governed by the California Harbors and Navigation Code.
Code Section 6290-6311 outlines the District’s powers, which include but are not limited
to, the ability to acquire, purchase, takeover, construct, maintain, operate, develop, and
regulate wharves, docks, warehouses, grain elevators, bunkering facilities, belt railroads,
floating plants, lighterage, lands, towage facilities, and any and all other facilities, aids, or
public personnel, incident to, or necessary for, the operation and development of ports,
waterways, and the district.
In 1987, following the enactment of Senate Bill 947, the California Harbors and Navigation
Code also added specific language for the Santa Cruz Port District:
“The Legislature finds and declares that this section is necessary to meet a serious
danger to the public safety within the Santa Cruz Port District caused by surfriding
activities within the harbor entrance area (HNC 6302.5[a]). No person shall swim or
surfride, or use any watercraft or device to surfride, on ocean waters within a harbor
entrance area, as prescribed by the Santa Cruz Port District by ordinance (HNC
6302.5[b]). For the purposes of this section, "surfride" includes traveling to or from a
surfriding staging area and activities in the staging area which are preparatory or
preliminary to, or connected with, riding the surf (HNC 6302.5[c]). Every person who
violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a fine not to
exceed five hundred dollars (HNC 6302.5[d]).”
Local Accountability & Structure
The first port commissioners were elected in 1950. The five present commissioners are
shown below. The chairmanship rotates annually. The commissioners do not receive
financial compensation for their services. The District has transitioned from at-large to
division-based elections, effective with the November 2024 election.
Table I – Current Commissioners
Commissioner Term of Office Years of Service:
Reed Geisreiter 2022-2026 14 years (since 2009)
Darren Gertler 2020-2024 8 years (since 2016)
Toby Goddard 2022-2026 18 years (since 2006)
Stephen Reed 2020-2024 12 years (since 2012)
Dennis Smith 2020-2024 16 years (since 2008)
The District is maintained under the direction of Holland MacLaurie, Port Director. The
district office is staffed seven days a week, 24 hours per day. Current employees are
staffed throughout three primary departments: (1) Administration, (2) Operations, and (3)
Facilities Maintenance & Engineering. Regular meetings of the commission are
scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month.

Management Efficiencies
As part of this service and sphere review, LAFCO staff analyzed the internal operations
of the Santa Cruz Port District. The following is a summary of several key management
efficiencies currently in place.
Transition to District-Based Elections
The Santa Cruz Port District has transitioned from at-large to district-based elections for
its commissioners commencing with the General Election in November 2024. After a
robust and deliberate public process, SCPD selected a final map indicating where the
District’s boundary will be split into five geographic divisions (districts) for future elections.
Appendix B illustrates the adopted division map. Voters within the identified divisions
will vote only for candidates residing within the same division. Voters will not be able to
vote for candidates outside of their own division. This transition was a result of multiple
public hearings, outreach efforts, and extensive evaluation. More information about the
entire transition process is available online: https://www.santacruzharbor.org/transition-
to-district-based-elections
Capital Improvement Plan
In February 2024, the District adopted its latest 5‐Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Appendix C provides a copy of the latest CIP Plan. The previous plan was adopted in
2019. The CIP is updated as part of each budget adoption cycle. Funding for the projects
is derived primarily from the operating budget. CIP projects are budgeted and reported
within the Capital Improvement Fund. The vast majority of expenses within the Capital
Improvement Fund are capitalized upon project completion and include force account
labor where applicable.
The latest CIP lists projects for the current fiscal year (FY 2024-25) and provides capital
needs forecasts extending out through 2028. The plan identifies over 30 different projects,
which are assigned under one of six categories: (1) Docks, Piers & Marine Structures, (2)
Buildings, (3) Landslide Infrastructure, (4) Utility Systems, (5) Planning Projects &
Studies, and (6) Other/Miscellaneous. Table J showcases the anticipated costs for the
capital improvement projects by category.

Website Requirements
Senate Bill 929 was signed into law in September 2018 and requires all independent
special districts to have and maintain a website by January 1, 2020. SB 929 identifies
several components that must be found within an agency’s website. Additionally, the
Special District Leadership Foundation (SDLF), an independent, non-profit organization
formed to promote good governance and best practices among California’s special
Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 20 of 30
districts, has also outlined recommended website elements as part of its District
Transparency Certificate of Excellence. This program was created as an effort to promote
transparency in the operations and governance of special districts to the public. LAFCO
conducted a thorough review of the District’s website based on SB 929’s criteria and the
recommendations set by the SDLF. Table K summarizes staff’s findings on whether their
website is meeting the statutory requirements. At present, SCPD meets all benchmarks.
Overall, the District has a transparent website filled with useful information and resources
that are easily accessible, which is why it has maintained its Certificate of Excellence from
the Special District Leadership Foundation since 2016.

Marine Rescue Service Program
The County of Santa Cruz has provided annual monetary support to the Santa Cruz
Harbor’s marine rescue service since the early-1990’s. In 1991, the Port District, the
County and City of Santa Cruz entered into a Joint Administrative Agreement which
resulted in 45% of the Port District’s property tax funding being distributed to the County,
while the remaining 55% went to the City of Santa Cruz. In exchange for the property tax
redistribution, the two local agencies agreed to provide police, fire, traffic control, and
street maintenance services within the harbor area. This agreement is automatically
extended on an annual basis. While the annual funding contribution remained at $24,000
for many years, the County, in recognition of both its responsibility to provide services
and the public benefits that derive from the Port District’s existing marine rescue service
program, increased its annual contribution to $50,000 in 2019. The annual contribution
has not been adjusted since that time.
The Santa Cruz Harbor Patrol vessel and crew support other maritime emergency
agencies and are an integral part of the County of Santa Cruz’ Coastal Incident Response
Plan. Agencies supported by the Port District’s marine rescue service include the U.S.
Coast Guard, the County of Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Department and other local law
enforcement agencies, Santa Cruz County Office of Emergency Services, City of Santa
Cruz Lifeguard Service / Marine Rescue Unit, State Parks lifeguards and rangers,
Capitola City lifeguards, Santa Cruz County Fire marine rescue swimmers, Central Fire
District (formally Aptos-La Selva Fire District) marine rescue swimmers, and others.
As noted in the County’s Coastal Incident Response Plan, “The Santa Cruz Harbor Patrol
has no jurisdictional responsibility in Santa Cruz County other than the Small Craft Harbor
itself. The Harbor Patrol receives funding from Santa Cruz County to perform search and
rescue missions within the three nautical mile line, which extends in Santa Cruz County
to three nautical miles offshore including the Monterey Bay. If needed, the Harbor Patrol
may extend beyond that boundary.” Despite having no jurisdictional responsibility, the
Santa Cruz Harbor Patrol performed 33 marine search and rescue missions from 2020 to
2023 and saved 219 lives.
If the County Sheriff Department or another local agency had to provide this marine
rescue program, it would need to bear the full cost and responsibility for acquiring a patrol
vessel and year-round crew available 24/7, ongoing crew training, acquiring and
maintaining lifesaving equipment, vessel and equipment maintenance and replacement,
fuel, berthing costs, dispatch, insurance, liability, and program administration.
LAFCO Staff Recommendation: LAFCO encourages the District to coordinate with the
County to determine if the annual reimbursement amount of $50,000 is aligned with the
marine rescue services being provided.
Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 22 of 30
Challenges and Opportunities
The Santa Cruz Port District is significantly affected by changes in State laws and
regulations that can arise from time to time and add complexities and/or costs. For
example, changes in California’s Clean Water Act’s list of impaired water bodies,
maintained by the State Water Resources Control Board, may result in the development
of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements. TMDL’s are intended to improve and
restore impaired water bodies. Regulations related to fishing and other ocean resources
can also affect commercial and recreational fishing, with potential impacts to District
activities. Sea level rise, predicted as a result of climate change, may also force the
District to make expensive adaptations in the near future. In 2015, the California
Legislature passed AB 691 requiring trustees of granted public lands to assess the
impacts of sea level rise on these lands and to provide this assessment to the State Lands
Commission by July 1, 2019.
Another challenge that the District has faced and may experience again is the aftermath
of natural disasters. On March 11, 2011, a tsunami that originated in Japan destroyed
the District’s “U” dock and severely damaged docks throughout the harbor. The
destruction brought on by the tsunami resulted in a Major Disaster Declaration by then
President Obama. The estimated repair cost for all tsunami-related damages to the
District was approximately $19.7 million. State and federal government grant funding
covered approximately 94% of the total tsunami-related costs. The final recovery project
related to the tsunami disaster, replacing the south harbor electrical service at an
approximate cost of $2.6 million, was completed in April 2015. Unfortunately, another
tsunami hit the Santa Cruz Port District in 2022. The Tonga Hunga-Tonga Ha'apai
volcano erupted on January 14, 2022, and generated tsunami waves that impacted the
west coast of the United States on the morning of January 15, 20221. At that time, the
District estimated that $6.5 million would be needed to fix the damaged infrastructure.
During these types of occurrences, the District should continue to consider partnering
with neighboring agencies and businesses to address unpredictable yet inevitable natural
disasters. Historically, the District has collaborated with agencies and organizations within
the Harbor to repair
seawalls and other
infrastructure. In 2015, the
District partnered with
Aldo’s Harbor Restaurant
to address needed repairs
to a failing seawall. This
collaboration allowed the
restaurant to continue
operating in temporary
quarters on the harbor’s
west side while a long-
term plan was developed
to replace the seawall.

Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 23 of 30
SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act
City and special district spheres of influence define the probable physical boundaries and
service area of a local agency, as determined by the Commission (Government Code
Section 56076). The law requires that spheres be updated at least once every five years
either concurrently or subsequently to the preparation of Municipal Service Reviews.
Spheres are determined and amended solely at the discretion of the Commission. In
determining the sphere of influence for each local agency, the Commission is required by
Government Code Section 56425(e) to consider certain factors, including:
➢ The present and planned uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space
lands;
➢ The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area;
➢ The present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the
agency provides or is authorized to provide;
➢ The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the
commission determines that they are relevant to the agency; and
➢ For an update of a sphere of influence of a city or special district that provides public
facilities or services related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, or structural
fire protection, that occurs pursuant to subdivision (g) on or after July 1, 2012, the
present and probable need for those public facilities and services of any
disadvantaged unincorporated communities within the existing sphere of influence.
Current & Proposed Sphere Boundary
LAFCO originally adopted a coterminous sphere for the District in 1988, as shown in
Figure 6 on page 25. Prior to the sphere reaffirmation in the early-1990s, an agreement
among the County, City of Santa Cruz, and the District resulted in all three parties
supporting a coterminous sphere boundary with the notion that the District would
eventually become a full enterprise district by foregoing property tax revenue. Today, the
District relies on enterprise (business-related) revenue sources to fund operations and
has fulfilled its commitment to the 1991 agreement. For the past 36 years, the sphere
boundary has remained unchanged.
Based on LAFCO’s analysis, the sphere should be amended to address existing
discrepancies, specifically small portions of the City of Santa Cruz being excluded from
the current sphere. State law prohibits “dividing a municipal corporation” (Harbors and
Navigation Code Section 6210). The proposed amendment would result in added clarity
and consistency among the existing jurisdictional boundaries. Therefore, staff is
recommending that the sphere be amended to include the previously excluded portions
of the City of Santa Cruz, as shown in Figure 7 on page 26. Such inclusion does not
automatically trigger annexation. Further analysis would be required if annexation is
considered and initiated by the affected parties.

SERVICE AND SPHERE REVIEW DETERMINATIONS
The following service and sphere review determinations fulfill the requirements outlined
in the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act.
Service Provision Determinations
Government Code Section 56430 requires LAFCO to conduct a municipal service review
before, or in conjunction with, an action to establish or update a sphere boundary. Written
statements of determination must be prepared with respect to each of the following:
1. Growth and population projections for the affected area.
The District encompasses unincorporated county territory as well as the vast majority
of the City of Santa Cruz. It is estimated that approximately 99,000 residents currently
live within the District’s jurisdiction. Based on LAFCO’s projections, the District’s
population may reach 113,000 by the year 2040.
2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated
communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence.
In 2020, the California statewide median household income was $78,672, and 80% of
that was $62,938. Based on LAFCO’s analysis, there are no disadvantaged
unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the District’s sphere boundary.
3. Present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of public services,
and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or deficiencies related
to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and structural fire protection in any
disadvantaged, unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere
of influence.
The District does not provide water, sewer, or fire protection within its service area.
4. Financial ability of agencies to provide services.
The District operates with revenues covering expenditures on an annual basis. As of
March 31, 2023, the District is operating with a net position of approximately $35
million and total assets of approximately $66 million. The District is funded primarily
through service charges. The District does not receive any tax revenue.
5. Status of, and opportunities for, shared facilities.
The District provides emergency ocean rescue and law enforcement services when
requested to assist the US Coast Guard, local marine rescue agencies, and law
enforcement agencies within the County. The District is part of a Joint Powers
Authority with the California Maritime Infrastructure Authority and has MOUs with the
US Army Corps of Engineers for dredging and the City and County for tax reallocation.
6. Accountability for community service needs, including governmental structure
and operational efficiencies.
The Santa Cruz Port District is governed by a five-member board. The District has
transitioned from at-large to division-based elections, effective with the November
2024 election.
7. Any other matter related to effective or efficient service delivery, as required by
commission policy.
No additional local LAFCO policies are specifically relevant to this service and sphere
review.
Santa Cruz Port District Service & Sphere Review Page 28 of 30
Sphere of Influence Determinations
Government Code Section 56425 requires LAFCO to periodically review and update
spheres of influence in concert with conducting municipal service reviews. Spheres are
used as regional planning tools to discourage urban sprawl and encourage orderly
growth. Written statements of determination must be prepared with respect to each of the
following:
1. The present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-
space lands.
State law limits the square miles of the Santa Cruz Port District such that it does not
include the entire County and there can only be one municipal corporation in the
District (Harbors and Navigation Code Section 6210). The District’s boundary contains
the vast majority of the City of Santa Cruz and an area of unincorporated land. This
area includes a wide range of land uses, including but not limited to, agriculture,
community commercial, parks and open space, and residential.
2. The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area.
The District experiences an ongoing need for harbor services, which is demonstrated
by the current wait list for harbor slips. The longest approximate wait time ranges from
1 year for a 20-foot slip up to 23 years for a 40-foot slip. All slip assignments are based
on chronological precedence of requests. Only one size slip may be requested. The
District provides a monthly waiting list report which can be accessed on their website.
3. The present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that
the agency provides or is authorized to provide.
The District has consistently demonstrated a capacity to provide harbor services to
the large population it serves. A strong local demand for harbor services is effectively
constrained by the spatial limitations of the harbor’s physical site.
4. The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if
the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency.
There are no District-relevant social or economic communities of interest in the area
served. Staff’s analysis does highlight that District’s recent transition from at-large to
division-based elections. This transition will provide more equal representation within
the District’s jurisdictional boundary and on its governing board.
5. For an update of a sphere of influence of a city or special district that provides
public facilities or services related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, or
structural fire protection, that occurs pursuant to subdivision (g) on or after July
1, 2012, the present and probable need for those public facilities and services
of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within the existing sphere
of influence.
The Santa Cruz Port District does not provide services related to sewers, municipal
and industrial water, or structural fire protection. Therefore, this determination is not
applicable.

HARBOR NEWS
SANTA CRUZ SMALL CRAFT HARBOR SPRING 2024
Since its dedication on April 18, 1964, the Santa Cruz Harbor has been a cornerstone of the Santa Cruz
community, offering a wide range of commercial and recreational marine-related activities for residents and
visitors alike. Guided by the mission of the Santa Cruz Port Commission, the harbor has remained a vibrant
and financially sustainable entity, providing a wide array of boating and marine related opportunities for the
public.
As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to browse the Port District’s archive and celebrate the collective
efforts that have shaped the Santa Cruz Harbor into the valuable marine asset it is today. Here’s to 60 years!
“…And thus it goes. Our harbor is a living thing as vital as the air we
breathe and as eternal as the tides and winds which are a part of us.”

SELF-GUIDED TOUR STATIONS
Throughout the Santa Cruz Harbor there are interpretive panels
which detail many facets of the harbor’s eco-systems, economics,
and history. These panels were created by Ed Larson decades ago
and offer a colorful and informative way to learn about the
environment and the role Santa Cruz Harbor plays in our
community. Most panels are located at the water’s edge and are
easy to find by the bright yellow and blue metal signs with rounded
tops which denote their location.
2023-24 DREDGE OPERATIONS
The 2023-24 dredge season has proven to be challenging. The crew has been working hard to combat rough
weather, a large influx of sand, and several unanticipated equipment failures that have resulted in extended
work stoppages.
The dredge crew has been working hard to address the entrance channel shoaling and has made significant
progress deepening the center channel.
An extension to the dredge season through May 24, 2024, has been requested. Final approval from all
regulatory agencies is pending.

Capital Improvement Plan
(2024 to 2028)
SANTA CRUZ PORT DISTRICT
FIVE-YEAR
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
FISCAL YEAR 2024 - FISCAL YEAR 2028
SANTA CRUZ PORT DISTRICT FY24 Budget
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program and fund balance propose $500,000 in new funding for capital
improvement projects in FY24, and assignment of $920,000 in existing Unallocated CIP Funds18 in support of
identified projects.
The proposed 5-Year Capital Improvement Program follows.
18 The Port District received approximately $922,761 in net insurance proceeds for damages related to the January 15,
2022, tsunami. This funding was received and recognized in FY23 and allocated to the CIP Reserve Fund (Unallocated
CIP), pending Commission review and allocation as part of the FY24 budget process. Receipt of this one-time funding is
intended to cover costs for tsunami-damaged items, including but not limited to dredge equipment repair and
replacement, north harbor transformer repair, pile repair and replacement, etc. This funding may be utilized for any
purpose designated by the Commission.
30
SANTA CRUZ PORT DISTRICT FY24 Budget
INTRODUCTION
This 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) presents the Santa Cruz Port District’s plan for development,
maintenance, improvement, and acquisition of infrastructure assets to benefit Santa Cruz Harbor’s users,
businesses, and visitors. It is intended to serve as a guidance document for planning, scheduling, and
implementing capital improvements and planning projects over the next 5 years.
The 5-year CIP serves as a tool for prioritizing and selecting future projects, and provides an overview of
works in progress. The CIP highlights the District’s investments in infrastructure development and
maintenance (i.e., capital improvements) and other significant capital expenditures. Studies of less than
$5,000, and capital expenditures for equipment, vehicles and vessels are typically not included in the CIP,
though there are exceptions (e.g., previous water taxi and patrol vessel procurements).
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Annual updating of the 5-year CIP is an integral part of the budget process. The CIP is presented with the
budget to provide time for review by the public and the Port Commission prior to consideration and
incorporation into the final budget.
Prior to FY13, many capital improvements were budgeted and completed within line items in the operating
budget, such as Pavement Repairs (F006), Building Restoration (F011), Restroom Building Rehabilitation
(F012) and Dock Upgrades(F008). Those items are now presented as separate projects within the 5-year CIP
with recommended funding amounts for ongoing rehabilitation and repair.
Each year, the Commission will adopt an updated 5-year CIP that will include prioritized short and long-term
projects. The prioritized list will be used by staff in the development of the annual operating budget. The 5-
year CIP will be published in advance of and discussed during a public meeting prior to adoption of the annual
budget.
FUNDING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Each year, funding is allocated to various large and small projects within the CIP. Non-specific CIP funding is
contained in the Unallocated CIP Funds (F099), which is also referred to as the CIP Reserve Fund.
In FY16, the Port Commission adopted a Reserve Policy, which established funding goals for reserves and for
the 5-year CIP. The Commission initially elected to contribute $500,000 to the CIP fund each year, whenever
practicable. The CIP fund would be allowed to grow over time so that large-scale projects could be planned
and accomplished without impacting either the Reserve Fund or operations. In February 2020, the
Commission increased the CIP funding goal to $750,000 annually, whenever practicable.
While the annual funding goal remains at $750,000, several FY24 budget impacts, including increased
personnel services costs and increased insurance premiums (premiums are anticipated to rise 114% or
$602,934 over the FY23 budget), pose a significant challenge to reaching the $750,000 funding level.
31
SANTA CRUZ PORT DISTRICT FY24 Budget
As a result, a $500,000 contribution is proposed in conjunction with utilizing $920,000 of Unallocated CIP
Funds19 to establish funding in the amount of $1,420,000 for identified project needs.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS
The projects proposed in the FY24 CIP were derived from a variety of sources, including recommendations
from Port District staff, Commission and public input, and projects identified in the Port District Priorities for
2023.
Although not typically included as capital improvements, planning studies may be included in the CIP as part
of the planning effort. Studies of less than $5,000 or capital expenditures for vehicles, equipment and vessels
are typically funded in the operating budget.
Twelve (12) previously identified projects are proposed for funding in FY24. This total includes two (2)
projects that were added mid-fiscal year (North Harbor Transformer Project and 2222 East Cliff Deck
Replacement). Four (4) projects are proposed for closeout (i.e., removal from the list), and there is one (1)
new project proposed for funding in FY24. A CIP Summary sheet outlining projects and funding levels is
included as Appendix A. Not including the CIP Reserve Fund, the Fund Balance projection as of April 1, 2023,
has 28 identified projects with some level of available funding.
PROPOSED PROJECTS
Several of the proposed projects in this CIP address ongoing infrastructure or facility maintenance needs and
are typically programmed on an annual basis. Examples include Pavement Repairs (F006), Building
Restoration (F011), and Restroom Building Rehabilitation (F012).
The following attachments provide additional detail regarding future funding needs and project descriptions:
• Appendix B: Capital Improvement Plan Detail – 5-year funding projections
• Appendix C: Capital Improvement Plan Detail – Project Descriptions (funded and unfunded)
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The development of this 5-year plan is not a project, as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), and an environmental review is not required for its adoption. Individual projects listed herein may be
subject to CEQA and environmental reviews will be conducted during project implementation.
19 The Port District received approximately $922,761 in net insurance proceeds for damages related to the January 15,

Status: Project on Hold
This project would involve improvements to the facilities located at 493 and 495 Lake Avenue, buildings that currently
house H&H Fresh Fish, Johnny’s Harborside Restaurant, and the Santa Cruz Harbor Boatyard. The first phase of the
project will involve outreach and preliminary planning for ice production and storage, evaluation of the expansion
potential for the restaurant facility, and potential upgrades to serve the commercial fishery. Additional work will
involve identification of funding sources/partners, and use of the boatyard during the City of Santa Cruz’s upcoming
Murray Street Bridge Rehabilitation project.
HO01 HARBOR SECURITY UPGRADES
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24 for acquisition of additional security cameras
This project was approved to provide for increased security systems throughout the harbor to reduce unauthorized
uses, and to improve monitoring and law enforcement capabilities. Cameras and recording devices with remote
monitoring capabilities have been installed at key locations and expansion of the camera system is recommended.
Fencing and lighting upgrades were previously completed in the north harbor dry storage and dredge yard.
Previously completed projects include restroom door and gate rekeying in FY16, FY17 and FY19, and acquisition of
electronic system components in FY19. Fabrication of dock gates to support the new electronic key system were
funded as separate project (Dock Upgrades F008). Security cameras were installed in FY20, FY21, FY22, and FY23 (.
Additional funding planned in FY24 is for additional cameras.
F004 SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATIONS
Status: Ongoing – adequate funding available for first phase of replacement (G-Dock lift station)
This project will continue to involve development of construction documents for upgrades or replacements as
required, and coordination with the City of Santa Cruz and the County of Santa Cruz for future maintenance. Priority
tasks previously identified include replacing the lift station control panels and performing ultrasound inspections of
existing steel tubing, replacing, or relining existing tanks and upgrading access to pumps for maintenance.
A comprehensive assessment of the nine existing sanitary sewer lift stations was performed in FY22. As a result of
that assessment, construction documents for upgrades or replacements as required were drafted in FY23.
Replacement of the G-Dock lift station will be placed out to bid in late FY23 or early FY24.
F005 PILING REPLACEMENT
Status: Ongoing - funding needed for critical piling replacements in FY24.
The Port District maintains approximately 700 piles to support its docks and piers. Over the last 5 years,
approximately 225 piles have been repaired and/or replaced. Funding is requested in FY24 to address pile
replacement needs in the north and south harbor (some damage attributed to tsunami and storm events).
F006 PAVEMENT REPAIRS

SANTA CRUZ PORT DISTRICT FY24 Budget
F008 DOCK UPGRADES
Status: Ongoing – no funding recommended in FY24.
The 30 distinct docks that make up the Santa Cruz Harbor provide berthing for over 800 vessels, fulfilling the mission
of being a federal and state harbor of refuge. This funding provides for small projects involving repairs or upgrades to
the existing docks and appurtenant structures such as gates, brow piers, ramps, etc.
Fabrication of new aluminum dock gates supporting conversion to electronic key system for dock gates and
restrooms was completed in FY19. Southeast harbor brow pier repairs completed in FY19; installation of new
aluminum gangways acquired in FY21 for southeast harbor brow piers was completed in FY22.
F009 PIER REHABILITATION
Status: Ongoing – adequate funding available for proposed FY24 work.
The harbor’s three piers require periodic inspection and maintenance to ensure they remain safe for public access
and serviceable for their various uses. This ongoing project provides periodic funding for inspections, repairs, and
upkeep.
In 2020, 10 piles supporting the east public pier were deemed to be in critical condition and in need of repair. In
FY21, a repair project was completed in which 3 of the 10 piles were jacketed and filled with cementitious grout. Of
the remaining piles, 4 were programmed for repair in FY22, and 3 were scheduled for repair in FY23. The planned
project in FY22 was delayed, and as a result, 7 east public pier piles were jacketed in FY23 by in-house crews, which
resulted in considerable cost savings.
Two piles supporting the boatyard marine ways will be jacketed by in-house crews in FY24. As a result of in-house
crews performing this work, $85,000 is proposed to be transferred from Pier Rehabilitation to Piling Replacement.
F011 BUILDING RESTORATION
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24.
Projects to be programmed on an annual basis include minor improvements that extend the useful life of systems and

inspection. The final assessment report is pending. Additional funding in future years will be needed to undertake
replacement of the seawall.
F024 MURRAY STREET BRIDGE
Status: Ongoing – no funding recommended in FY24.
Funding for this project will be made available by the City of Santa Cruz upon completion of necessary right-of-way
certifications. In FY23, the Port District received a draw of escrow funding in the amount of $400,000 to cover project
related costs for the preliminary design and replacement of FF, Rowing, and Boatyard Docks.
Port District coordination with the City of Santa Cruz on the Murray Street bridge reconstruction project. Contract
services for engineering oversight and legal counsel will be needed.
F027 ALDO’S SEAWALL REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Status: Ongoing – no funding recommended in FY24.
Construction of a new seawall was completed by Granite Construction in FY20. The project was partially funded by
financing obtained in FY19. All loan funding has been expended. Approximately $188,441 remains in the CIP following
project close-out, to provide funding for any future District costs associated with accessway improvements and
Tenant reconstruction of the restaurant structure.
F028 PARKING UPGRADES
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24.
The Santa Cruz Harbor Parking Management Plan completed during FY16 included several recommendations for
upgrading ADA parking facilities throughout the harbor. This project involves assessing current inventory and adding
new accessible spaces in key locations.
In FY21 one additional ADA space was added in the concession parking lot and existing spaces were relocated and
reconfigured to bring them to current ADA standards. In FY22, funding to assess necessary upgrades to bring the path
of travel between the concession lot public restroom and the beach plaza / concession area to current standards was
completed. Work to complete the necessary path of travel upgrades is planned in FY24. Recently acquired bids for the
improvement work indicate additional funding is necessary in FY24.
F039 HARBORWIDE REFUSE / RECYCLING STUDY
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24.
A harborwide refuse and recycling study was completed in FY23. While the final report pends Commission review,
additional funding is being allocated in FY24 to address recommended improvements, like new/improved receptacles
along the beach plaza.
42
SANTA CRUZ PORT DISTRICT FY24 Budget
F042 EMBANKMENT ASSESSMENT
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24.
The embankment area at the site of the crane pad on the east access road adjacent to Twin Lakes’ off-season
mooring has visible erosion, which was accelerated further by the January 2022 tsunami and again by the January
2023 winter storms. Funding was designated in FY22 to inspect the area, assess the significance of the erosion, and
develop a repair plan suitable to support the crane and associated activities. A comprehensive assessment was
completed in FY22, and an additional review of the area was performed by engineers after the tsunami event.
Since considerable erosion occurred during the January 2023 storm events, funding in FY24 will be required to
determine adequate repair / replacement options. The crane pad is currently compromised and cannot be used at full
capacity. Costs associated with this project may be reimbursable by FEMA / CalOES.
F043 FUEL SYSTEM UPGRADES
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24.
The Santa Cruz Port District operates a full-service fuel dock 7 days a week. Ensuring that adequate funding is
available for future equipment repair is critical to ensuring a serviceable operation.
In FY24, the Port District will facilitate replacement of all four fuel dispensers and hose reels.
F045 NORTH HARBOR TRANSFORMER
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24.
As a result of the January 15, 2022, tsunami, 6 electrical transformers in the north harbor were submerged and
damaged. Replacement is required. In FY23, the Commission allocated $207,000 to facilitate the design and
replacement of the transformers. Design work is currently underway, and additional FY24 funding is required to
procure new transformers and complete installation. Additional funding may be needed in future fiscal years if a
phased installation plan is developed.
F046 2222 EAST CLIFF DECK REPLACEMENT
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24.
In October 2022, the Commission allocated $825,000 from the reserve fund to facilitate the repair and replacement
of the second story deck at 2222 East Cliff Drive. Additional funding is recommended in FY24 to cover any
construction administration or oversight for this project.
F046 TWIN LAKES HAUL
Status: Ongoing – funding recommended in FY24.
The District’s dredge, Twin Lakes, has been in service for approximately 7 years. Bi-annual inspections are routinely
performed by a contracted third party knowledgeable in dredge operations and equipment. A recommendation has
been made to haul the dredge (for comprehensive inspection and maintenance) within the next 1-3 years. FY24
funding is recommended as a partial set-aside.
43
SANTA CRUZ PORT DISTRICT FY24 Budget
UNFUNDED PROJECTS
WIFI SYSTEM
This project involves design and installation of a Wi-Fi system available to harbor customers and tenants. Installation
costs are presumed to be borne by a Wi-Fi vendor to be selected through a public bidding process, though there are
numerous other options researched by Port District staff which may impact the type of service provided, installation
costs, ongoing monthly costs, vendor-provided support, maintenance and customer service, fee-based upgrade options,
etc.
A feasibility study by an outside consultant is recommended to identify and assess available options. Any Wi-Fi system
should include comprehensive vendor-provided support as a top priority. Should the Commission direct staff to pursue
the project following completion of a feasibility study, subsequent development of an RFP for installation of a Wi-Fi
system by a qualified consultant is recommended.
ARANA GULCH GRADE CONTROL STRUCTURE FEASIBILITY STUDY
(FEMA HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT APPLICATION)
This project would involve developing a grant proposal to fund engineering design and construction of several sediment-
reduction measures in Arana Gulch, upstream of the north harbor. Work on this project commenced in FY 11 with a
preliminary application submitted on the Port District's behalf. The application process was suspended because the Port
District is not eligible to serve as lead agency for the grant and cooperative agreements had not been executed with the
City of Santa Cruz and the County of Santa Cruz for extraterritorial work sponsored by the Port District.
WEST SIDE MASTER PLAN
Master Plan study to follow reconstruction of a new restaurant at 616 Atlantic Avenue for the purposes of completing
accessible public improvements along the walkway and jetty area between AA Dock and Walton Lighthouse, as
envisioned in the 2008 West Jetty Walkway project. The West Side Master Plan needs to seamlessly tie in access to any
future replacement of the SH Revetment and Seawall (F022).
ELEVATOR REPLACEMENT FUND
Fund for future replacement of Port District elevator(s).
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION
Identification of location(s) for placement of electric vehicle charging station(s) throughout the harbor, including
assessment of power requirements and ongoing utility costs and maintenance.

Unfunded Accrued Liability Policy (including CalPERS’ Employer Contribution Rates)

Santa Cruz Port District
General Fund Reserve Policy
Adopted November 24, 2015
Reserve Policy Objectives
To strengthen the financial stability of the District against economic uncertainty,
unexpected situations such as natural or man-made disasters, unanticipated
drop in revenues, and other unforeseen emergencies or extraordinary
circumstances that the Port District may face that are infrequent in occurrence.
Target Amount Held in Reserve
The Port District will strive to hold in reserve an amount equal to 25 percent of
the District’s annual operating expenses in the current fiscal year’s adopted
general fund budget. The District recognizes that reserve fund amount may
fluctuate and may need to be rebuilt over time as needed.
Funding Sources
The reserve fund will generally come from one-time revenue and from excess
revenues over expenditures. Examples of one-time revenue include infrequent
sales of Port District assets, infrequent revenues from development and grants,
or other sources that are typically non-recurring in nature.
Conditions on Use of Reserves
The use of reserves shall generally be limited to unanticipated, non-recurring
needs. Reserve fund balances shall not be used for normal or recurring annual
operating expenditures.
The Port Director shall make recommendations to the Port Commission for use
of reserves. Appropriations from this reserve fund shall require a resolution
approved by the Port Commission.
Requests for use of reserves shall occur only after exhausting the current year’s
budgetary flexibility. The Port Director shall, within six months of its use, present
to the Port Commission a plan and timeline for replenishing the reserve fund. .
