NON-CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS

Section 6, “USE,” subparagraph 6.1, “Use Defined,” is hereby amended by deleting the name “Captain’s Table and Marquis Harbor Marina,” and replacing the same with the name, “Catfish Charlie’s and Marquis Harbor Marina.”
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. Fiscal Impact: No financial impact.
3. 2023 Pool Season Recommendation. (Eric Griffith, Parks Recreation Director)
Explanation: Due to state permitting delaying construction from fall 2022 to spring of 2023, to allow the contractor full access to the facility and not add any additional cost due to being open for a hybrid season in 2023, staff is recommending not being open in 2023. Anticipated opening date for the new construction would be Memorial Day weekend of 2024.
- Hybrid Season: Night swims on Thursday & Fridays nights and open regular hours on Saturdays & Sundays. Anticipated costs: $75,000-$125,000. However, since the current design does not take into consideration this hybrid approach, it is difficult to identify all modifications, temporary work, and logistical issues at this time
- Regular Season with construction waiting until August 2023 to start: Anticipated costs $273,000-$410,000 or 4-6%.
Staff Recommendation: Staff seeks recommendation.
Fiscal Impact: There is a cost saving by not opening in 2023 due to it being a hybrid season.
4. Skate Park Phase #1 Design Contract (Eric Griffith, Parks Recreation Director)
Explanation: Approved by both Park Board and City Council, staff recommends approval of a contract with Newline Skate Park for Phase #1 design of the Skatepark/Pump Track under the I-74 Bridge.
