The City of Berkeley was granted sovereign salt marsh, tide and submerged lands in trust in 1913 for the establishment, improvement, and conduct of a harbor and other utilities, structures, and appliances necessary or convenient for the promotion and accommodation of commerce and navigation. In 1961, the grant was amended to approve additional uses that were in the general statewide interest, including airports, highways, bridges, beltline railroads, public recreation, small boat harbors, restaurants, and landscaped areas.
The City is required by Section 6306 of the Public Resources Code to complete an annual financial statement and standardized reporting form for trust lands on or before December 31 of each year.
