G. AGENDA ITEMS:
3. 21-0463 Resolution authorizing the expenditure of Seawall Funds in the amount of
14,299,000.00 for Marina Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), replacing docks
A, B, C, D, L in FY2021.
President Harris referred to Item 3. Assistant City Manager Neiman Young said the
purpose of this item is to repurpose the funding that was approved by the Type A Board
and ask that the funding not only be repurposed to the piers, but also asking the funding
be escalated; instead of splitting the funding between FY21 and FY22, staff is asking all
the funds be available in FY21. Mr. Young said there has been a change in leadership for
the Marina and summarized the previous CIP that was brought to the Type A Board.
Previous management prioritized facility maintenance in FY21 budget, in contrast to new
management who is proposing to repurpose the funds for dock maintenance and
replacement, with the goal of generating revenue to become a self-sustaining operation.
Marina Manager Jonathan Atwood presented the following Marina projects: replacement
of five docks due to serious deterioration to the wood structure and galvanized hardware;
dredging for the boat slips area; replacement of pedestals due to exposed electrical
conduits and plumbing lines, no lighting on the pedestals and cable/internet boxes
exposed to the elements; replace older marine docks with modern concrete marine dock
system; existing Texas marinas in the surrounding areas using concrete docks; a total of
207 slips need to be replaced; total budget for the five piers A, B, C, D & L is nearly 15
million and 5 million for the dredging to be covered by certificates of obligations; and the
economic impact for the marina and tourism.
Boards Members and Mr. Atwood discussed the following topics: incorporate features
for the community; whether preventative maintenance will be applied to the docks;
utilization rate for the boat slips; and if transit docks will be available.
