DISCUSSION/ACTION/PRESENTATION/REPORT ITEMS: a. 2023 Marina Financial Update Discussion with Deputy City Administrator/Finance Director David Goldman and Finance Manager Ashley Ramos. (5:13) Deputy City Administrator/Finance Director Goldman provided the Commission with the Marina’s 2023 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position as well as the 2023 Statement of Net Position. (See copies attached). The Commissioners asked questions and commented regarding this issue. Harbormaster Sublet, Deputy City Administrator/Finance Director Goldman, and Finance Manager Ramos responded. Topics discussed: Insurance settlements, items that are bond related, asset retirement obligation (ARO), total net position – beginning, operating reserves, unexpected expenses, Moffatt & Nichol costs, non-operating revenues, enterprise funds, breakwater, f-dock, dredging marina area, channel dredging, core samples, port districts, and working with Island Transit. The Marina will be discussed at the September 25th Council Workshop. Commissioners are invited to attend, and it will be up to the Mayor whether comments will be allowed. 1 Marina Advisory Commission 10.14.2024 Master Page 5 of 41  b. October 1, 2024 Marina Rate Increase Discussion. (1:21:00) On October 17, 2023, Council approved Resolution No. 23-21 amending Schedule D (Marina) of the Master Fee Schedule increasing Marina rates to the BST & Associates Oak Harbor Marina rate recommendations. This was a 3-year rate increase. This is the second part of the rate increase. Marina tenants will be notified of the increase in the newsletter, via signage around the Marina and letters will be sent out to all tenants. The increase will begin October 1, 2024. (See rate increase information attached) Commissioners asked questions and commented regarding the increase. Harbormaster Sublet and Paul Sorenson (BST & Associates) responded. While we don’t like seeing rates raised it’s a necessity. Mr. Sorenson stated we have a fiduciary responsibility to make sure the health of the marina is as good as we can make it. Our rates are currently 10-16% less than other areas. At the end of the three years, rates will still be behind – at 2023 levels. 5. GENERAL MARINA UPDATE: (1:43:18) See attached Marina Statistics for the City Administrator’s Report (May 2024-July 2024). a. Mariner’s Haven – The City has pulled out of this. It’s a done deal and we are not moving forward. b. Island Transit – We will advertise this in Wagner’s and will add the information to the emails that are sent to customers. c. Behind the scenes financing efforts – Terminated contract with lobbyist we were using but we are still exploring other options. d. Working on the ’25 – ’26 budget that will be part of the September meeting agenda. e. 50-year Marina Celebration – We are making this a festive community event. It’s scheduled for September 21st from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. All the clubs are being invited and we would love the Marina Advisory Commission members to attend and educate those that don’t normally come to the marina. We’re working on a scavenger hunt too. We want this to be a fun event! (Note: Chair Hulett would like a list of talking points.) f. Summer has been great! Guest moorage was up. There were lines to get into the fuel dock. g. Harbormaster Sublet is currently working Monday – Thursday so feel free to stop by. h. The Marina will close on Sundays beginning in October. 6. MARINA ADVISORY COMMISSION COMMENTS: (1:47:52) a. Vice-Chair Jones wanted to know if the marina received any funding from Hydros for Heroes for their event and whether there was any marina staff overtime? Harbormaster Sublet stated the marina did not receiving any funding from Hydros for Heroes and that there was marina staff overtime. Commissioner Skubi stated these expenses shouldn’t be borne by the marina tenants. He stated since the marina receives about $60k a month in moorage that Hydros for Heroes should be charged $4k for their event. Commissioner Ray suggested they also pay for the marina staff overtime. He also stated it’s an imposition on marina tenants not to be able to use the marina for two days during the summertime. Commissioner Foster asked if the marina also does maintenance on the floating dock. Harbormaster Sublet indicated that dock is actually part of Parks. The marina just stores the dock during the winter and takes it back to Flintstone Park when needed. Commissioner Hill feels there could be more traffic going in and out of the marina during this event in between heats. It was suggested that this be added to an upcoming agenda for discussion, and we could invite principals from the organizations that use the marina. b. Vice-Chair Jones stated the Commission cannot go three months without having a meeting and stated he will be unable to attend the September MAC meeting. c. Commissioner Skubi stated that short notice cancellations of the MAC meetings can’t go on. 2 Marina Advisory Commission 10.14.2024 Master Page 6 of 41  It’s a disservice to those that serve on the Commission. d. Vice-Chair Jones thanked the marina staff for getting the electrical repairs done so quickly. However, he feels it creates a 600-foot trip hazard. He believes this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. 7. DETERMINATION OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: (2:03:20) Commissioners please send any agenda ideas you have to Harbormaster Sublet. a. Report on ’25-’26 budgets and projects. b. Forming of Marina Advisory Commission Sub-Committees – Dredging, Financing, Public Outreach. c. Student representative – Highschool student (Term: 9/1/24-8/31/25). d. Boat launching options. e. Navy property – Potential dry storage area. f. Meet with organizations using the Marina for events – Example: Hydros for Heroes. 8. NEXT MEETING: (n/a) Item not discussed. The next meeting is scheduled for September 9, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. 9.
