UNFINISHED BUSINESS
• Riverbank Revetment Project Update – progressing. Three phases to complete Reach A, B
and C. C is almost complete. B is expected to progress quickly and finish up in a few weeks.
Recent change of plan putting sidewalk on compacted sand which will protect retaining wall
and create more stability. Not sure of expected finish date – contract states September but
issue with Army Corps of Engineers permit delay may push back completion. Contractor has
not asked for an extension. Contractors will be mindful of the pick up in fishing during
August/September with the salmon run.
• Marina Dock Replacement Update – Applied for grant funds through the DNR Waterways
Commission the last two years. This year the City was awarded the funds to repair the last
five docks at the Marina. City Council approved and an agreement was sent to the DNR.
Designs are complete and EGLE and Corps permits are in place. Project will go out to bid
within the next month – with a May/June 2022 completion date. Grant is a 45%/55% match –
City is funding the match through the recent capital improvements bond sale.
• Fricano’s Manistee River Land Sale Update – The deck on 440 River Street is on City
property, so has been leased from the City by previous owners. Ted Fricano would like to
add additional improvements and so wanted to purchase the property the deck is on and a

portion of adjacent marina property. Value was established through the assessor at $30,000.
City Council approved the concept, now the DNR Waterways will need to okay. Planning
Commission, then City Council will need to approve the property split. Ted Fricano will then
apply for the split/combo. All proceeds of the sale are required, by the DNR, to be kept for
Marina improvements/maintenance. Harbor Commission will have input on how money is
spent.
