March 8, 2021 Dear Waldo Point Harbor residents, Our trash hauling fees are increasing astronomically. We need your help to keep rates low so we don’t have to pass the costs along to you, our valued tenants. We are noticing increased instances of residents dumping large household items, appliances, rootbound plants and construction debris at the dock entries or in the trash dumpsters. If you have a large item for disposal that is not regular household waste, please contact the Harbormaster for assistance, and he will assign a reasonable rate to dispose of the item. Residents found illicitly dumping will incur additional fees; approximately double the charge. Please work with us to remove the item properly and responsibly. WPH rates are as follows: Mattress/box spring $40.00 – $60.00 each Couch/recliner $50.00 each Chairs/desk/drawers $30.00 each All appliances $40.00 each Carpet $50.00 per cubic yard Toilets/sinks $25.00 each Large plants $25.00 each No Construction Debris allowed! If you or your contractors are working on your houseboat, remember that the community bins are not an option for construction debris. This must all be disposed of off-site. Remind your contractors and workers that this is not acceptable. All construction debris must be disposed offsite. Please flatten and break down each and every cardboard box when you recycle them, so that the cardboard bin doesn’t overflow, which happens frequently. No Styrofoam should go in the cardboard! If you are composting, make sure you follow guidelines for responsible composting and do not use plastic bags ever. If the compost bin is overflowing, please throw excess compostable in the regular dumpster to avoid overflowing the bin which just feeds racoons and rats. Household hazardous wastes should never go in the trash enclosures. Marin Sanitary Services Main facility at 565 Jacoby Street in San Rafael will take them for free, including paint, cleaning fluids and batteries. It is an easy drive-through process and they take up to 15 gallons of liquids a day per household. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter, your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Greetings and Happy New Year- We would like to share a few important reminders for Waldo Point Harbor residents. Please remember that your pilings are an integral part of the foundation for your houseboat. We recommend that you inspect your pilings annually during a low tide to ensure they are in proper condition to prevent any major piling mishaps. If you have trouble determining ownership of a piling it can be found in your lease on the mooring diagram; the Harbor is happy to help advise. Additionally, as part of pier maintenance we are now requiring that any houseboat being sold must replace their missing/damaged pilings and untie from the dock (if so tied) at time of sale. The misguided practice of tying up to the shared pier instead of replacing a broken shared piling puts an incredible amount of strain on the WPH access pier, and if a piling should give way underneath, it would cause damage to the utilities and disrupt the entire community during the elaborate repairs. We also recommend having your mooring lines checked annually to ensure you are tied properly. We would also like to share important information on electrical connections. It is imperative that your electric cable is plugged securely into the dock outlet. The cable is very heavy, and the motion of your houseboat may cause it to loosen over time if not secured. If this happens, a short circuit may cause a fire, or damage electronic appliances aboard your boat. Ensure that the connection is tight, and a strain relief device is bearing the weight of the cable. If you are unsure of the connection give the Harbormaster a call for an inspection. As shared previously, we are moving to more electronic communications whenever possible, so it is very important to have all houseboat owner’s email on hand to make that work. You can still have your email on file without having to use the online portal to pay berth fees. Please forward any dock related emails from us to your tenants if you rent your boat because tenants do not have access to the Tenant Portal system. All leasing correspondence including annual berth fee increases will continue to be mailed. We hope all are well and safe in these crazy times. Thank you so much! Bill & Becky

To All Residents of Waldo Point Harbor: Last year we were abruptly introduced to PG&E’s Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). Unfortunately, this is our new reality during fire season. The Harbor adapted to PSPS by renting portable toilets for each dock, and wiring each shoreside holding tank with a independent, generator-operated circuit so that we can turn on our ejector pumps in order to clear the tanks to the city sewage main. This is not a perfect solution. More and more residents have purchased generators or have solar powered batteries that will power their homes during an outage. This allows holding tanks to pressurize the system, and if the shoreside tank is overwhelmed sewage will back up into homes that have weak one-way check valves on their houseboats. To avoid causing problems for you and your neighbors, it is imperative that all residents scale back on water usage immediately once the PSPS is in place. Conserving water aboard means less water in the holding tanks and less chance of an accidental back-up. Even if you have a generator, curtail water usage throughout the duration of the PSPS! We will pump tanks first thing in the morning at 8 am, and again at 2 pm, 7 days a week. For those of you with alternative power sources, please limit your pumping to daytime hours between 9am – 2pm, so that we can manage the shoreside holding tank pump-out schedule. Limiting pumping aboard your boat is usually as simple as shutting off the pump breaker on your panel, or just unplugging the pump at the tank. http://floatinghomes.org/get-involved/emergency-preparedness/emptying-the-holding-tank/. Once this is done, an empty tank will not refill for a while – as long as strict water conservation is being practiced. Low to no flushing toilets, no showers, dishes, etc. If you need assistance finding your holding tank disconnect, please contact the office. Generator users must be acutely aware of the risks involved. • Lethal carbon monoxide poisoning is possible, so do not set up the generator in any enclosed space, or where fumes can enter your living spaces. And be aware of your neighbors with open doors and windows. Minimum of 20 ‘ away from open doors and windows recommended. • Do not fuel a generator when it is running, or if it is hot, because gasoline is highly flammable. Store gas very carefully, and once the PSPS is over, get leftover gas in portable tanks off your houseboat and pour it into your car. • Please be respectful of your neighbors and restrict usage so that the sound and the fumes start after 8am and end at dusk Please follow our safety guidelines and let us know if we can be of assistance if, and probably when, PG&E decides to throw the switch. Sincerely, Waldo Point Harbor Staff

July 15th, 2020 Dear Waldo Point Harbor Residents: We would like to provide you with a few updates as we continue navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic. California Masks Mandate We have received concerned feedback from multiple residents regarding the lack of some residents wearing face coverings in common areas. According to the State of California Department of Health and Human Services, everyone must wear face coverings when they are in high-risk situations, which includes sharing public spaces while outdoors. It is important to maintain the recommended physical distance of 6 feet from persons who are not members of the same household. Our docks are quite narrow, and it can be difficult to pass other residents and maintain a 6-foot minimum distance. We ask that out of courtesy and respect for your neighbors that you wear a face covering while sharing the common areas on the property. Masks must also be worn by anyone you have employed to work on your property. Any guests visiting the docks must also wear masks and maintain safe 6-foot distancing. You are responsible for educating anyone that you invite onto Waldo Point property of these safety protocols. Office Hours Update: The Waldo Point Harbor Office is closed as a safety measure to protect both residents and employees. Our team is available via phone or email for anything you need. For maintenance and dock issues please contact Harbormaster Bill Price harbormaster@sequoialand.net | 415-910-0705. For any property management, tenant account information or other concerns please contact Property Manager Becky Smith becky@sequoialand.net | 415-331-3393 ext 14. For any parking permit or guest pass requests please contact our Assistant Jerald Patch at reception@sequoialand.net or 415-331-3393 ext 29. Thank you very much for your consideration in these matters. We hope you are all safe and healthy during this challenging time! Waldo Point Harbor Team
