Background
The San Mateo County
Harbor District was established in 1933 by a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors
of the County of San Mateo. Under that certain Act of the Legislature of
the State of California entitled "An Act Providing for the Formation, Government
and Operation of Harbor Districts, the Calling and Conducting of Elections
in such District of Harbor Commissioners, defining their powers and duties,
and providing for the issuance and disposal of bonds of such Harbor District,
and providing for the assessment, levy and collection of taxes for the payment
of such bond and for the ordinary annual expenses of such Harbor District,"pproved June 10, 1931, and found in the Statutes of 1931 at page 1483.
The
County of San Mateo established the entire area of the County of San Mateo
as the District's boundaries.
The Harbor District operates two facilities,
Pillar Point Harbor at Half Moon Bay in Princeton, and Oyster Point Marina/Park
in the City of South San Francisco. The City owns Oyster Point, and the
District runs it for the City under a Joint Powers Agreement. Pillar Point
is a 369 berth working fishing harbor; Oyster Point is a 600 berth recreational
boating marina.
The District is governed by a five member
Board of Harbor Commissioners, who are elected County-wide for staggered
four-year terms.
