in effect

Sec. 2-87. - Rent declared lien. In the event a vessel takes occupation of a slip without there first having been a vessel dockage agreement completed for the slip, or in the event the slip rent is not paid in accord with the requirements of this article, there shall be a lien as provided by MCA 1972, § 85-7-9, on the vessel occupying such slip for not less than one month's rent, regardless of the time such slip was occupied. It shall be the duty of the harbormaster to promptly notify the city attorney of such happening in order that the lien may be enforced. Any delay in enforcement of the lien by the city shall not act as a waiver of the city's right to enforce the lien. (Code 1963, § 7-24; Ord. No. 1890, § 2, 2-19-91; Ord. No. 2719, § 13, 5-3-11; Ord.
