City Council Memorandum NO. 2024-04 DATE: August 5,2024 TO: Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe City Council Members FROM: Tim Gleason, City Manager Jon Kindseth, Deputy City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the City of Decatur to Accept the Proposal from G&H Marine Inc for an Additional Boat Slip and Existing Dock Removal SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council authorize this additional boat slip to be added to the recently approved City boat docks to replace the Fire Department's current boat dock, in preparation for the replacement of the boat ramps anticipated in 2025. PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council approved a contract with G&H Marine Inc,in May of 2024 to replace four boat slips for the City Lake Patrol division. This proposal would add one more boat slip to the dock system, bringing it to a total of five City boat slips. This provides for a uniform consistent boat dock system matching all of the other public boat docks that G&H has been adding over the past couple of years. The current city boat docks,both Lake Patrol and Fire Department docks are too close to the current boat ramps and will need to be removed in order to facilitate the ramp replacement project coming in 2025. Adding this one additional slip for the fire department will provide a much better and cheaper solution than building an entirely new stand alone dock as it currently is. STAFF REFERENCE: Jon Kindseth, Deputy City Manager, will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: This new dock will be funded by the facilities budget within the Fire Department's Council approved 2024 budget.
