Mooring Policy & Procedures
Revision 11/5/2020
Boat Mooring Policies established by the Park Board are as follows:
1. Boat Mooring Permit Application. The mooring application must list and be signed by all owners of
the boat intended to be moored. The application shall include evidence of ownership of the boat.
When more than one owner is involved, the application must designate one managing owner to
receive all official communications. In the event the insurance policy or evidence of ownership lists
names other than those designated on the application, the application may be rejected.
Applications must also include a signed Waiver and Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk and
Indemnity Agreement.
Alternates will be ranked in the priority according to the address for the designated managing owner
provided on the application. If a vacant mooring exists after the alternate list has been exhausted the
Public Works Director may issue mooring buoys on a first come first serve basis at a prorated rate.
All moorings will be for personal use, not commercial use. Any Tax exempt organizations applying for a
mooring spot must be approved by the Director of Public Works, provide proof of tax exempt status
(501)(C) and pay the annual mooring fee .
2. Proof of Insurance. Each application shall include proof that liability insurance is in effect for the full
boat mooring season. Copy of policy to be submitted with the application and shall include the names
of all owners. If insurance information submitted at the time of application changes, the boat mooring
permit holder shall provide updated insurance information within 10 days of the change.
Consequences for non-submission of required insurance: Failure to timely provide current and correct
insurance information may result in loss of the boat mooring permit.
3. Boat Registration. Each application shall also provide a copy of the appropriate state registration or
U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Federal Documentation. If registration information changes during the
boat mooring season, the permit holder shall provide updated registration information within 10 days
of the change in registration. Consequences for non-submission of required registration: Failure to
timely provide current and correct boat registration information may result in loss of the boat mooring
permit.
4. Priority for Drawing for Available Mooring Spots. Guidelines for drawing with priority as follows:
(1) City of Hudson residents, (2) Hudson school district, (3) St. Croix County, (4) Washington County and
(5) others; when filling openings. Any renewed alternate applications maintain their position on the
alternate list under each category of the priority system.
5. Mooring Assignments. The mooring assignments will be available to the public if the craft does not
endanger boats in adjacent mooring positions. Complaints are to be filed with the Director of Parks
and Public Works
Grandfather clause allows the one long boat that has been moored for years to be moored at the east
end of our mooring area with written application to be made no later than March 1 of each year.
6. Vacated Mooring during Mooring Season. A mooring that is vacated can be reassigned. If vacated
before July 15, permit holder will receive a refund of one-half of the mooring fee for the season. New
applicant will pay one-half of the mooring fee for the season plus $15.00 administrative costs.

Sailboats shall be limited to 30 feet in length unless approved by the Parks and Public Works Director
before approval of the mooring application.
10. Dinghy Storage and Specifications.
Dinghy Storage: Each mooring holder will be allowed one dinghy that can be stored along the
Dike Road during the mooring season. The City shall designate five areas along the Dike Road
bank. A tie down area will be provided by the City. Mooring holders can secure their
dinghies with a chain and lock at the specified tie down area as noted on the dinghy tie-up map.
Dinghy Specifications: The dinghy shall be no more than 60 inches in width and no longer than
10 feet in length. The dinghy must meet the U.S. Coast Guard safety standards and shall be cream
or white in color. Canoes, kayaks, or any other types of watercraft not specified will not be
allowed.
Any mooring holder that does not comply with the dinghy storage requirements and/or specifications
will be notified of the non-compliance and be ordered to correct the issue immediately. The mooring
holder will be responsible for any and all costs incurred by the City to remedy the non-compliance.
11. Mooring Area. The City will provide and maintain U.S. Coast Guard approved marking buoys
around the mooring area.
12. Removal during July fireworks. All boats and dinghies shall be removed from the mooring area and
the dinghy storage area by 4:00 p.m. on the day of the July fireworks. If not moved, the boat will be

position, the City may correct such placement at owner’s expense, having given reasonable
notification.
