Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes the Park Superintendent to enter into commercial Boat Launch Use Agreements with construction companies at designated boat launches for purposes of providing services to private lakeside properties, including construction, shoreline repairs and installation/removal of piers. The individual agreements would be in effect from signing until December 31, 2022 , and may be renewed for an additional term, to run from January 1, 2023 through December 1, 2023, upon the mutual agreement of the parties. The Parks Division anticipates charging fees as follows:
2022: $1060 annually, plus $55 per day
2023: $1080 annually, plus $60 per day
The Parks Division anticipates developing a Commercial Boat Launch Permit in 2023 that will be utilized going forward to replace the need for such agreements. Total revenue is unknown at this time, as it is dependent on the number of contractors that enter under agreements and the type and amount of actual use for each of them. No appropriation is required.
