Qdio ENCLOSURES City Manager Recommendation It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution ratifying, approving and confirming the City Manager's action in authorizing a 15% temporary rate reduction in the dockage fees for Dinner Key Marina for specified slips during the period of hurricane damage repairs. Background Dinner Key Marina, a division of the Parks and Recreation Department, suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Andrew and a corresponding loss of revenue for the past. six (6) months. To expedite repairs and the resumption of operations, structural renovations to this facility are being phased, and a separate contract has been awarded for the specialized restoration of utility services. Under Phase 1, Piers 1, 2, and 9 (the commercial pier) were repaired with utility pedestals borrowed from other piers in the marinas. These piers were reopened in late December, 1992, and are currently at 100% occupancy and generating revenue. Phase Il has also been substantially completed and the boat slips along the seawall (Pier 8) are considered to be in suitable condition for the docking of boats which do not require water or electrical service. As stated in the attached February 3, 1993 memorandum, in order to meet the public's demand for berthing space and to generate additional revenue, the Administration has made Pier 8 slips available for berthing at a 15% discount in docking fees due to the absence of utility service. Similarly, as additional piers are structurally repaired and become available for docking, but are without utility services, the same 15% discount would apply. When utility services are restored at individual piers, the dockage discount for vessels at those piers will be discontinued accordingly. 93- 197 t a) �,� tat tSinF�it, I I t �l ill �n. ttltf�lt-t:}11=1t;f: !!PE_tVic}Itt�ttl)61tvi Honorable tiayor and Plembers of tje City Commission Cesar It. Odio C i ty Mana9er IIAH February 3, 1993 fill ,I,flfit I Temporary Dockage Rate AdJustment !1(1tIII flcl!' XMIKE111111W 11 FED 4 1993 PMRS- ik pit=G� jCifi3i ; DEPARTMENT As I have already informed you, Piers 1, 2 and 9 1the commercial pier) at Dinner Key Marina are fully operational and have been reopened. Since their reopening in late December 1992, they have been generating revenue and today are effectively at: 100% occupancy. The boat slips along the seawall (Pier S) are considered to be in suitable condition for temporary .docking of boats which do not require water or electrical service. In order to meet the public's demand for berthing space and to generate additional revenue, I propose to make Pier 8 slips available for temporary berthing at a 15% discount in docking fees, i.e., from the currently established non-lIveaboard rate of $.27 per foot per (lay to $.23 per foot per day or effectively a .04 per foot per day reduction. Similarly, if additional piers become available for temporary docking, but are without utility services, vessel owners agreeing to berth their vessels at those piers will also be afforded a 15% discount in their dockage rates. once utility services are restored and available to individual piers, the dockage discount for vessels at those piers will be discontinued accordingly. Since the agenda for the next City Commission greeting of February 9, 1993 Is closed to new i tems, I am recommending that we immediately implement this discount rate and then schedule this item on the next available Commission Agenda for formal ratification by the City Commission. As such, if I do not hear any objections from your respective offices by the close of business Thursday, February 4, 1993, I will assume your initial approval of this action and immediately implement the above mentioned discount rate for vessels berthed at any piers lacking utility services. Should you require any additional information, please advise. • cc: W. E. Lee, Assistant City Manager 93— 197 ` Alberto Ruder, Director, Parks h Recreation Dept. --- -
