(a) All charges herein provided shall be paid to the order of the City of Saint Paul, in advance, at City Hall.

(b) Any boat owner who fails to pay the moorage and service fees as herein provided, at the time and place when such fees are due and payable, and for a period of 30 days thereafter, shall be subject to an action by the City for the recovery of such fees and charges. The Harbormaster shall submit a report to the City Council each calendar quarter of all such delinquencies, and such report shall include the description of the boat, the name and address of its owner, and the type and value of such fees as are delinquent. The City Council may refer delinquencies to the City Attorney for appropriate action to recover fees owed to the City.

(c) The Harbormaster may impound any boat for the failure of the boat owner to pay any fees or charges as required in this chapter when said fees remain unpaid for a period of 30 days.

(d) The City may impose a lien against the vessel for any unpaid mooring reservation fees, mooring facilities use fees, other harbor facilities fees, and Harbormaster service fees under 46 U.S.C. 31342. Should any such fees be unpaid or unsecured for 30 days after due, the City may file a complaint in rem in the Federal district court in the district in which the boat may be found. If it appears that such boat will leave the Federal district in which the City is located, the libel in rem may be filed prior to the expiration of the 30-day period.

(e) The City reserves its rights to pursue any applicable lien created by State of Alaska statute including specifically AS 34.35.175 and 34.35.220, or any amendments thereto.

(f) All liens created shall not be exclusive remedies. A proceeding to foreclose any lien or suit thereon by the City shall not preclude any other remedy, including impoundment as above, at law or in equity. The procedure for foreclosure or suit thereon of any lien shall be as set out in applicable State or Federal law. [Code 1979 § 18.16.070.]
