Marina businesses would get lower rental costs and clearer fees from the Army Corps of Engineers.
This bill would change how the Army Corps of Engineers charges rent and fees to certain marinas. It would set limits on how much marinas pay in rent and administrative fees. It would also ensure they get longer, more stable lease periods. These changes aim to standardize costs and provide more certainty for marina operators.
Today, the Army Corps of Engineers lacks a consistent way to charge administrative fees to marinas across all its districts, and rental calculations include all gross receipts. After this bill, the Corps would have a standardized fee schedule with specific maximums, such as $50,000 for major projects. It would also be banned from charging fees for routine lease renewals. Also, certain income from sales like food or fuel would be excluded from the main rental calculation and capped at a 1 percent rate. Lease periods would also be extended to at least 50 years for initial leases.
