UNFINISHED BUSINESS (a) Dock Policy Changes Orlofsky explained that the staff would like to move the renewal date up to September 1st. Doing so would help align the renewal dates with the private docks in the area. So, people are new to the docks will have more time to plan for the next years dock renewal. Staff would also like to move up the non-refundable deposit due January 31st. Sobiech suggested that we collect the deposit in September when the dock renewal is decided. Berghorst suggested that maybe staff should leave the September 1st date open incase they feel that time frame does not work then staff would have flexibility to move it. Minutes Park and Recreation Commission January 9, 2017 Page 2 of 3 (a) Dock Policy Changes – Continued Orlofsky also explained that the storage of personal items on the dock will be prohibited.
