REPORTS (SPECIAL COMMITTEES AND ADVISORY BOARSDS) continued
Waterways Board Chairman Jerry Sullivan advised that the Waterways Board supported the
Recreation Advisory Board's recommendation that the planning and design of the south side
dock system at Anchorage Park Marina should include the necessary electrical and structural
infrastructure for optional boat lift systems whether the docks are fixed or floating. Mr. Sullivan
met with Vice Mayor Mullinix at Anchorage Park to investigate the condition of the floating
docks on the south side and discuss future options, including a fixed dock with boat lifts. The
Boards discussed having four pilings installed at each slip, in addition to the infrastructure for
electric and water. It was suggested that one contractor could install all the lifts, with the cost to
be paid for by the lessee. Mr. Sullivan offered to poll boat owners on the south side to see who
would be interested in lifts.
Mr. Lukasik and Special Projects Director Chuck Huff discussed the improvements planned for
Anchorage Park Marina, the Request for Proposals (RFP) for fixed and floating docks, and the
estimated cost for Phase 1 of the project. Mr. Lukasik noted that grant funding provides for
accessibility to the waterfront (pathway and overlook area); however, the docks and the walkway
perpendicular to the docks are funded by the Village.
After further discussion on boat lifts as a possible alternative to floating docks for the north side
(Phase 1), it was requested that staff seek estimated costs if the project scope was changed so that
Council could compare options when the results of the RFP are presented. A request was made
to have the Village Attorney research liability issues. Additionally, it was requested that the
engineer provide an analysis of the pros and cons of boat lifts and floating docks.
Planning Commission member Lori Rainaldi announced the Planning Commission agreed to
provide a verbal report (when necessary).
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 8:04 p.m.
