State will allow the Marina to up the percentage of seasonal docks. Six current seasonal docks; two are used by the USCG and DNR. The increase in seasonal docks should be noted on the Facebook page. The Waterways Commission would accept a grant application for dock repairs in the next cycle; the City can use the Community Foundation grant as matching funds. The kiosk is being repaired this week and is covered by insurance. Jeff Mikula was present to provide an update on the seiche damage and the Community Foundation grant application. The Foundation grant application fits in the top four priorities set by the Foundation and the City has been approved to submit the full application. Engineer’s estimates of the damage have been prepared. The insurance adjustor requested an estimate from an independent marine contractor which came in about 25% higher. The adjustor has requested a second estimate. It would be hard pressed to have repairs completed this season. Insurance will cover a loss of business. Staff levels are down due to the lower number of available docks. Discussed lake level bulletin and high water levels. City Manager. Reviewed launch ramp revenue report. The police department continues to monitor the area for compliance. NEW BUSINESS  Other – None.
