§ 168-32. Unauthorized mooring in Municipal Marina or in municipally operated mooring areas.

A. 

No vessel shall be moored at floats or slips after December 1 within the Municipal Marina or in designated mooring areas, where mooring devices have been installed by the City or under a services agreement contract with the City of New Rochelle, unless a hauling application is on file for such vessel unless storage arrangements have been made with the Harbormaster. Vessels moored after December 1 for which no hauling application is on file, or for which storage arrangements have not been made, may be removed by the Harbormaster and stored at his or her discretion. In such case, at least five days prior to removal, the Harbormaster shall send a letter to the owner of record by certified mail, return receipt requested, and by ordinary mail informing such person of the action to be taken and the possible future consequences, as stated in Subsection B of this section.

B. 

All vessels removed by the Harbormaster may be redeemed by the owner within 60 days upon payment of necessary expenses of removal and storage.

C. 

All vessels that shall remain in the custody of the Harbormaster of the Marina for 60 days without any lawful claimant thereto having paid the expense of removal and storage may be sold at public auction by the Harbormaster to the highest bidder at the time and place of sale pursuant to the notice of removal and sale at auction, as provided in § 168-25 of this article.
