the motion passed unanimously.
Presentations and/or Public Comment: n/a
Discussion Items and Possible Action Thereto: Presentation from CCIA Deputy Director of Aviation,
Tyler Miller: Mr. Miller gave an overview of where the airport currently stands and where they’re going
including a new Fly Local First campaign. Marina Dredging: Mr. Atwood advised dredging in Area 1 is
complete and has moved on to Area 2 near Coopers Alley. The project is allotted 55,000 cubic yards of
dredge material, if that amount is not met, they will dredge more at the gap. The dredging during the
dock replacement project will focus inside the marina only. Mr. Atwood and Ms. Gardner are going over
options for a long-term dredge plan to include the channel at the gap. Mr. Dunlap inquired what
constitutes a yard of dredge material. Mr. Atwood explained the cubic yards are estimated after the
material has dried out. Marina Budget: Mr. Atwood passed out a debt schedule print out with the amount
of debt remaining from the dock construction projects for piers E, F, G, and H as well as piers R, S, T,
and U. This debt will be paid off by 2030. Mr. Atwood’s goal is to not add any projects to the debt
schedule. Ms. Gardner cautioned by using cash for CIP only people that provided that money are paying
for the Capital Improvements. The advantage to using debt to pay for infrastructure projects is that the
future users will also be paying for it as the debt is paid off. Marina Software: Mr. Atwood explained
there have been issues with migrating the current software to OneDrive. The current contract extends to
2024 at $2225.00 per year with no buy out amount provided. The City Manager has the authority to
cancel contracts. Dockwa software is slightly more expensive at $3000.00 per year but has more
compatibility with municipalities. Capital Improvement Projects: Mr. Atwood advised in the next 2-3
years the boater’s facility and public restrooms on Coopers Alley will be replaced to better serve the
increase in tenants and visitors due to large regattas. The old washer and dryer will be replaced with new
machines. The haul out facility constructed in the 1950s will be redesigned to house a retail and office
space. The current dock project is on hold until the US Army Corps of Engineers approve the permit for
the pier layout. Mr. Atwood advised phase 1 is the demolition of piers L, A, and B, dredging, and
rebuilding. Phase 2 consists of demolishing piers C and D, dredging, and rebuilding.
Committee/Staff Reports: n/a
