6. OLD BUSINESS
A. Yacht Club Update/Budget Amendment (City Manager Report
The City Manager updated the CRA on the Yacht Club property improvements as set out
in the agenda packet.
Mr. Paternoster asked if there was any appropriation for finger docks, and the City
Manager said there were not at this time, but it is staff's intention to pursue funding and
complete the project.
Mr. Neglia said he is happy that this project is going along well.
Mayor Burkeen said this project should be completed before looking at the docks. He
asked for a completion date. The City Manager said staff is shooting for April for
completion.
Damien Gilliams, U.S. 1, asked if funds were included for removal of derelict vessels.
The City Manager answered the FEMA reimbursements insurance paid for some
removal. Mr. Paternoster pointed out it was included in the $20,000 slated for the Fine
Arts Festival and derelict boat removal. Mr. Gilliams said there were still derelict vessels
in the river. Mr. Gilliams asked about insurance monies paying for some of the Yacht
Club repairs to which the City Manager explained insurance monies put a new roof on
the building. Mr. Gilliams asked about the parking on the south property abutting the
Flagship restaurant to which the City Manager said it needed to be a staging area. Mr.
Gilliams said a breakwater would be helpful on the main dock and asked for one
underneath the dock. The Public Works Director advised dockowners do not
recommend breakwaters because it adds stress to docks.
Mr. Paternoster suggested that the feasibility/cost estimate/pros & cons be obtained
from neighboring docks.
The Clerk pointed out in the minutes of September 27, 2006 indicated marked funds for
derelict vessels. The Mayor added that some of the unused gateway money might be
available.
A MOTION was made by Ms. Coy, with a SECOND by Mr. Paternoster, to approve the
updated budget and amendment staff was directed to look into the breakwater for the
next meeting with a roll call vote of 4-0.
