Brief

The Board of Harbor Commissioners has referred a first amendment to the concession agreement with California Yacht Marina-Cabrillo, LLC to the City Council for approval. The amendment modifies the terms of the marina's operating concession at Cabrillo. The Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee reviewed the item on September 11, 2026, and approved it. The matter is now pending City Council action.

Full summary

The Board of Harbor Commissioners is asking the City Council to approve the first amendment to Concession Agreement No. 791 with California Yacht Marina-Cabrillo, LLC, which governs the private operation of the Cabrillo marina, a Port of Los Angeles facility in Council District 15. The specific terms being modified are not detailed in the submitted documents, but the Board has determined the amendment carries no impact to the City's General Fund, meaning any financial adjustments are internal to the Port's enterprise accounts rather than drawing on citywide tax revenues. The Board also asks the Council to adopt a CEQA categorical exemption finding, classifying the amendment as exempt from environmental review under Article III Class 1(14) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines. This exemption category typically applies to minor alterations to existing facilities or operational agreements that do not expand the scope or footprint of an existing use, suggesting the amendment does not involve significant physical changes to the marina. The matter was submitted by Commission Secretary Amber M. Klesges on behalf of the Board on September 1, 2026, and referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on September 3. The committee, chaired by Councilwoman Park, scheduled the item for its September 11, 2026 meeting. Council members McOsker and Rodriguez are also copied, as are representatives from the Mayor's Office, the City Administrative Officer, and the City Legislative Analyst. No full Council vote has yet occurred. The file remains open and pending committee action, with an expiration date of September 8, 2028.
