The dock master is specifically authorized to designate passenger pickup and discharge
areas for commercial vessels. All commercial vessels docking more than four (4) times
per month are subject to approval by city council pursuant to section 13-1-36 of the city code. The city manager or his designee is hereby authorized to establish
procedures to seek bids for the privilege of docking commercial vessels at the Alexandria
marina pursuant to the procedures established in title 3, chapter 3 of the city code. (Ord. No. 3121, 4/12/86, Sec. 2)
