REPORTS
• Harbormaster
o Shoreline Revetments – Materials have been brought in, but construction cannot begin
until the Army Corps of Engineers issues their permit. If the delay continues it will make
it very difficult for the contractor to fulfill the contractual agreement to have Riverwalk
portion of project completed by July 4, 2021.
o Princess of Ludington – 30 events already booked for the season. In addition to event
bookings, will be offering cruises, including sunset cruises, three times daily. Will have
catering and working on obtaining a liquor license. Fully licensed, leasing space at the
Marina, proposed three-year agreement would include dockage, and requirement for them
to purchase fuel and pump out exclusively at the City Marina. Will be an asset to our
downtown.
o First Street Breakwater – The Army Corps of Engineers has contacted the City requesting
assistance in fixing the First Street Breakwater. The Corps is paying for the steel ($5,500)
and the City will be repairing. Future repairs will be needed but have yet to be approved
by the Federal Government for their 2022 Fiscal Year.
o Dock Replacement Grant Application – Waterways grant application has been submitted
and accepted as complete – currently waiting on determination. If not granted will look
for other funding sources.
o Other – Added the Marina patio to the Capital Improvement Plan.
• City Manager
o Launch Ramp Revenue Report - $945 as of March 31, 2021. With the City offices closed,
we are making arrangements for payments through the mail or other accommodations.
o Ramps are now open and auto-attendant/payment tube options available for payment.
Auto-attendant machine is currently taking credit cards and exact change only. Change
hopper is being replaced.
o City is participating in a Michigan State University coastal research program. Includes a
multi-discipline team documenting erosion and high-water issues in coastal communities.
Training and mobilizing “citizen scientists” to fly a drone along shoreline to gather
photographic documentation. Great opportunity for our community and others.
o City is participating in a collaborative program with Michigan State University and
University of Michigan pertaining to environmental planning. This is a multi-discipline
group of students gathering data from shoreline communities – the semester project
includes these students offering ideas to communities at the conclusion of the project.
