EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The State of California Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) provides a Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE) grant program for local public agencies with jurisdiction over navigable waterways to fund the removal and prevention of abandoned recreational vessels in California waterways. Staff previously applied for the SAVE grant program in 2023 and was awarded $32,500 in SAVE-23 grant funds. The funding allowed the City to remove nine (9) abandoned or surrendered vessels from Basin III. Staff reapplied for the grant funding in 2025 and received a $75,000 SAVE-25 grant award that, to-date, has funded the removal of an additional five (5) surrendered and abandoned vessels from King Harbor. In 2026, the City was awarded an additional $26,600 through the SAVE-26 grant program, which would allow the City to continue its vessel removal efforts through 2028, subject to City Council approval of the Grant Agreement.
