City Code Section
- The Director will administer and enforce the provisions of Title 28 except that the Harbor Master is responsible for the initial and periodic inspection of existing moorages as well as the permitting, testing and inspection of standpipes. In the event that the Harbor Master determines a violation of Title 28 has occurred at a moorage within the jurisdiction of the Harbor Master, such violation will be reported to the Director who will then have the enforcement authority thereof. The Director may authorize the Harbor Master to enforce the provisions of Title 28 on behalf of the Director. The Director may render interpretations of Title 28 and adopt policies and procedures in conformance with the intent and purpose of this Title. The Director will seek the advice and opinions of members of the River Community as represented by the River Community Advisory Committee during this process, but the Director has the final authority for rendering interpretations and adopting policies and procedures.
- The State of Oregon Marine Board is responsible for issuance of a certificate of title and identifying number plate for floating homes, combo-structures and boathouses.

Owners of floating structures are responsible for displaying the required identifying number plate on the floating structure, so that the plate is readily visible from the walkway providing access to the structure.
