All properties owed by the City of Port Lavaca which are designated port, wharf and/or dock property or waters are placed under the supervision and control of the City Council. In order to provide a forum for the public regarding such properties, a Port Commission Board has been created by Council.
The Port Commission provides recommendations to the City Manager and City Council regarding Ports & Harbors properties and activities. The Ports & Harbors fund is a proprietary fund which provides operation and maintenance for the ports and harbors. Revenues are generated through rentals and leases of ports and harbors facilities. The Ports & Harbors Department is under the management of the Harbor Master.
The City properties that have been designated Ports & Harbors are as follows:
- The Harbor of Refuge
- City Harbor
- Nautical Landings Marina and Office complex
