Public marinas to get discounted lease fees under plan
Florida officials propose a fee schedule granting a 30 percent discount on base rates for publicly accessible marinas. The plan would set 4.55 cents per square foot or 4.9 percent of potential annual revenue. A DAH hearing is set for April 17 in Tallahassee amid a challenge by Sailfish Club of Florida. The measure aims to aid commercial fishermen and dock owners who do not otherwise gain high returns from slip leases.
