4. 22-0774 Capital Improvement Projects
Mr. Atwood advised engineers on the dock project expect the Corps permit to be ready
at the end of May, beginning of June. The Coopers Alley boaters facility and haul out
projects are waiting on design firm selection. The Peoples St boardwalk proposal was
submitted to Engineering and is going through the review process. A decision will be
made in the next 3 months, with a design plan by the end of the year. Wind delays have
the McGee Beach project a month behind, but as soon as all the rock is placed the
project will be complete. Mr. Bell inquired if permit delays in the dock project will cause
us to go back to the Type A board for more funding. Per Mr. Atwood and Ms. Gardner if
the probable cost estimate is off we may have to go back to the Type A board for
additional funding.
5. 22-0775 Budget
Attachments: Budget May 2022.pdf
Mr. Atwood explained the proposal of raising slip rates to a baseline of$9.00 per linear
foot, based on the local market. Making the 16-20%jump now will bring us back into
market range. Mr. Murray inquired if the rate increase will make us profitable. Mr.
Atwood consulted the 5 year budget analysis. Mr. Broomfield expressed his belief that
the slip rates are still too low considering what the marina offers. Mr. Broomfield made a
motion to approve the proposed slip rates, Mr. Murray seconded, the motion carried.

6. 22-0776 Marina Master Plan
Mr. Atwood said the latest presentation for the master plan was from Hart Howerton. Mr.
Atwood and Ms. Gardner will work with the City Manager and Mayor to make a decision
and move forward. A hot topic was the amount of money that may be charged to do the
master plan. Mr. Atwood explained if Hart Howerton doesn't work out one of the first
companies will be chosen.
7. 22-0777 Marina Office Building

used as offices was up in 2014-2015 and the company wanted too much money to renew
the trailer lease. Marina staff moved the office into the boater's facility as a temporary
solution. Mr. Atwood advised a marina office is included in the haul out facility redesign
that is pending design firm selection. At this time there is no funding to move the office
out of the boater's facility into another location. Mr. Bell verified the intention is to move
into the haul out facility being built with Type A funds that is approximately 1-2 years out.
Mr. Atwood confirmed. Mr. Dunlap inquired if retail space will be included in the haul out
facility design. Mr. Atwood affirmed that retail space and office space for contractors will
be included.
