[2:59] preservation commission which will postpone uh for a future meeting due to

[3:03] a family uh situation by the chair. Next item 10 is a presentation uh on the

[3:10] harbor center marina design by our friends at Edgewater Resources. So take

[3:15] it away. >> Hello. Thank you very much. Um let's see

[3:19] here. Make sure this is [snorts] showing up properly on the screen. Thank

[3:24] you very much. Uh mayor and council. Appreciate having you and again

[3:28] appreciate the opportunity to work with you in the community of Suben. Um this

[3:31] will be a a quick presentation. It normally takes about an hour and a half

[3:34] and I've been asked to do it in 10 or 15 minutes. So, I'm going to go quickly.

[3:38] Um, by nature I'm going to have to cover some things quickly. Ask me any

[3:41] questions you like, of course. So, uh, this is a progress meeting. We're at

[3:45] what we call schematic design. So, everything you're seeing tonight is a

[3:48] work in progress. Uh, it will continue to evolve based on feedback that we

[3:51] received from you. We've also had public feedback on this already and we're

[3:54] already making minor modifications as we go. So, as we dive into this, sorry, get

[3:58] this to work. Um, I'll skip through all of our team

[4:03] here, but this is a really important thing. The goal of this project is to

[4:06] refine the waterfront master plan and build a new marine on waterfront park

[4:09] for everyone in this community. That's a really key factor that guides everything

[4:12] that we're doing. Um, there is a tremendous amount of of issues with what

[4:17] you have out there right now with the ice damage and those sorts of things.

[4:19] We're addressing a lot of functional issues, uh, as well as as transforming

[4:23] the way the harbor the harbor works, uh, for not just the voters, but for the

[4:27] entire community. As we jump into this, we've had a number of public meetings,

[4:32] had a lot of community input meetings. As you can imagine, we received um

[4:37] hundreds and hundreds of comments. I wish that I could respond to every

[4:40] single one of them and have everything everybody wants in one plan. That of

[4:42] course is not possible. What our job is to try to coalate all those things and

[4:46] provide the best plan that we can that meets as many of the goals as possible

[4:50] um with the minimum amount of compromise. We do not want to end up

[4:53] with a camel. It's that joke, a camel's a horse designed by committee. So, we're

[4:57] focused on trying to balance all these competing uses as best we can. Uh,

[5:02] inherently, not everybody's going to agree with all of it, but we're doing

[5:04] our best there. Some quick images that really capture what the community

[5:08] responded most positively to. This is 31st Street Harbor in Chicago. Um, and

[5:12] what I want to point out here is that is a waterfront park that has a marina in

[5:15] it, which is the goal of what we're trying to achieve here. as opposed to

[5:18] the marina driving every decision. This is a public waterfront park that drives

[5:22] the primary decisions with an excellent marina that happens to be a part of it,

[5:24] happens to be an economic catalyst as part of it. Everything that you see in

[5:28] that picture with the exception of the floating docks and the dedicated boater

[5:31] restrooms is open to the public and that's our primary goal here for this

[5:35] community as well. So, as we jump into this um thinking about public access,

[5:40] again, I'm going quickly on purpose. Um there is an hour and a half if you're

[5:44] interested. Uh there's an hour and a half presentation online. I'm sure you

[5:47] can all watch that if you want the full detail. Uh we met with a lot of groups,

[5:51] a lot of different neighborhood groups, uh charter captains, yacht clubs, public

[5:55] works staff, first responders, as many people as we could to get as much

[5:58] feedback as possible. Uh we've also done a lot of engineering to address the

[6:01] functional issues that exist in the marina. You know, that there's ice

[6:04] damage. I would point out that the docks that you have there are not faulty in

[6:07] any way. They're just passed through useful life. Just like when you buy a

[6:10] car, at some point it just breaks because it's 20, 30 years old. Most dock

[6:15] systems are designed to last 25 to 30 years old. Yours are past that. But

[6:19] there are functional issues um that um physical issues I should say that do

[6:24] matter a lot. You're going to see a whole bunch of images as they go by here

[6:28] um that express what's happening with the water circulation and the ice

[6:31] movement. Um if you have questions, I can go into in more detail. But what we

[6:36] do need to do is address the way um when we have easterly winds, it stacks up low

[6:41] currents in or stacks up water in the outer harbor and that makes currents and

[6:45] things happened inside the harbor that are causing damage. We actually had

[6:48] cameras up all winter monitoring the ice damage and what was exact how the ice

[6:52] was moving and where it was damaging things. We actually have a very good

[6:55] idea of video evidence that supports what our modeling showed. And so what

[7:00] you're going to see here as I go by this is you'll see more and more uh activity

[7:05] inside the basin as I zoom past these and you'll notice you'll start to see

[7:09] some areas of red and concentration. What that red tells us is that's a very

[7:13] dynamic environment. And the best way to pro protect your docks is to not put

[7:16] them where that happens. And so one of the things that we're going to be doing

[7:21] is interrupting the size of what we're going to call the inner harbor by

[7:24] introducing a fixed attenuation structure here. And that breaks up and

[7:28] reduces the amount of flow in here. We have these two red areas here and here.

[7:32] When you see the master plan, you will notice very specifically we didn't put

[7:35] docks there. Um so as we look at this, that was a big driver. And I can go as

[7:41] far into that engineering detail as you would like. Uh there is also a sand

[7:45] intrusion issue along that outer uh federal breakwater that's owned and

[7:48] managed by the core. The core is going to come in. They built a lot of

[7:52] structures in the 80s that allowed intentionally so that allowed water to

[7:55] move through there. That was thought to be a water quality enhancement. What

[7:58] they found pretty rapidly is it allows a lot of sand to move in and it actually

[8:02] creates more problems than it solved. They are now correcting this at multiple

[8:05] harbors, including another one we're doing at Lexington Harbor in Michigan.

[8:08] They're going to be coming here to correct this one uh in the coming years.

[8:11] Um, our recommendation to you as we talk about phasing and constructing this is

[8:15] to stay away from that area to let them fix that problem and when they're done,

[8:18] we can come in and occupy that space. Fortunately, we have plenty of room to

[8:23] build all the marina that we need and not occupy that spot.

[8:27] So, quick overview of the harbor design. I'm going to start with the marina

[8:31] because that's kind of where we're at in the presentation. Then we'll move into

[8:34] the upland park design. So, the marina that you see in front of you here um is

[8:38] is uh the layout is quite different than what you have today. Very intentionally.

[8:42] Again, we talked about that red area. That's why we have this open body of

[8:45] water here and here. We've organized the marina into two main sections. Um we'll

[8:50] call these we call these Christmas trees just because it's a a single access with

[8:54] trees branching off to the side. This is uh we'll talk about the slip counts.

[8:58] This is actually allows for uh significantly more docking than you have

[9:01] now. I'm not recommending that you build a much bigger marina than you have. I'm

[9:04] saying we've planned for growth in the future if that becomes appropriate. When

[9:09] you get to the south end of the marina, we have a new public pier. That's that

[9:13] fixed structure that I told you about. That will be completely open to the

[9:16] public. This is what we call a shopper dock or or a or a um it's a service dock

[9:22] for just about anybody to use. One of the things that we want to do is be more

[9:25] welcoming to our trailer boers. When they go out and they go their boating,

[9:29] they come back, they put the boat on the trailer since there's nowhere for them

[9:31] to go right now. They put the boat on the trailer and then they drive home.

[9:34] And we want them to be be more welcome to the town and spend more time. So,

[9:38] this is meant to be a courtesy pier where they can get off the boat, come

[9:40] and enjoy all the amenities and go back out in boating and stay a little bit

[9:43] longer and just be more welcoming. Um, it could also be a place for a cruise

[9:49] ship yacht tender for example. It could be maybe at some point in the future uh

[9:52] the charter fisherman if they if the river doesn't work for them for some

[9:56] reason. So, that's a different factor there. We also have um one of the

[10:01] comments from the boating community is they were very passionate about the

[10:03] pool. We're not building a pool. That's not really that's not something that

[10:07] we're doing in public marines these days. It's very challenging to operate.

[10:10] It's also not the most appropriate use. When we did talk to the voters, one of

[10:14] the things that they said about the pool, it wasn't the swimming so much as

[10:16] it was the private space that they had. They had a dedicated room where they

[10:19] could have events that was kind of their own. And so we've talked about that with

[10:22] them. We're actually proposing in four locations out on the docks um where

[10:27] they're dedicated boater only gathering spaces out on the docks past the gates

[10:30] where they want to be. And so we're we're actually providing more spaces

[10:34] than they currently have for that particular use. The pool use in

[10:37] particular is replaced with a splash pad. So there is still water uses in in

[10:40] play and that sort of thing, but it's all open to the public as opposed to a

[10:44] dedicated boater activity in that way. Uh the only thing that's fully dedicated

[10:49] to the boers in this image are the floating docks, which is understood

[10:53] because they're renting that and and need security. And there will be

[10:56] dedicated boater restrooms that are specific to the boers. That is because a

[11:00] boater at 11:00 at night who's got their child and they're taking a shower. They

[11:03] need to be behind a locked door as you can all imagine. Um there are also many,

[11:07] many public restrooms and we'll talk about that. So that's the quick overview

[11:10] of the marina. We're relocating. The existing boater services building is

[11:15] over here and the fuel pier is way down here. That has created a lot of service

[11:19] um issues because it's a you know it's 10 15 minutes somebody calls for fuel

[11:23] and you have to send staff all the way down there. We we're proposing to

[11:26] relocate the boater amenities building and colllocate it with park features.

[11:29] I'll show you that building quite a bit a little bit here. Uh the existing

[11:32] building um is quite damaged from uh rot and mold and other issues. Um could it

[11:39] be repaired? Of course, anything can be repaired from a cost effectiveness

[11:42] standpoint. Um, it would be equally or more expensive to repair than to build

[11:47] these new structures that we're proposing.

[11:50] As we move a little bit closer, here's a quick uh 3D aerial just to give you a

[11:54] sense of it. We'll get to more on this in detail here.

[11:58] Um, just went through all of those things. We'll go in more detail here.

[12:01] This is some of the damage image from the existing restroom, existing motor

[12:05] services building. Um, again, could it be repaired? Of course, anything can be

[12:09] repaired. It's not the most cost-effective solution. Uh what we're

[12:13] proposing to do as we dive in here on the Boer Services building. I'm going to

[12:15] show you that building a little bit more detail. One of the things that we're

[12:18] focused on is building a much more sustainable building, a much better use

[12:22] in terms of things like um heat pump furnacing. Um we're talking about uh

[12:26] green roof um covered roofs for um uh water quality, for habitat creation, uh

[12:32] cooling the building. Uh a lot of different issues there. Plus, we can get

[12:35] grant funding for that. As we look at the building in the footprint, this is

[12:40] the lower level. This is the water side. We have um the these are the dedicated

[12:45] marina restrooms here and laundry and and lounge and fitness and that sort of

[12:48] thing. On this side on the north side of the building in the northeast corner,

[12:51] this is very public space. So, these are public restrooms for everybody. Welcome

[12:55] for everyone. You can come in here and get ice cream and pop and soda, whatever

[12:57] else you want to do. Now, this is Green Bay, so we'll be selling BRZ for sure. I

[13:02] think we should in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Um, as we look at this space, we have a

[13:06] marina garage and a parks department garage. This is coll-locating these uses

[13:10] um, specific intent of making that more efficient. And as you look at the upper

[13:15] level, we actually have some additional boater dedicated boater activities with

[13:19] the harbor master so they can view the entire marina. And then also looking at

[13:23] the emergency services in the northeast corner, that upper level building,

[13:26] that's a place where first responders can monitor the entire park uh, Fourth

[13:31] of July on all the big events. they'll be able to see everything and and do

[13:34] that. So, this is a shared use between parks and marina staff.

[13:38] So, here's just some some quick simulations as we're starting to do uh

[13:42] material studies and what things might look like. So, again, green roofs, very

[13:46] sustainable design using natural materials, wood, and so forth. Some

[13:50] quick AI renderings that are just they're just studies. So, you look in

[13:53] too much detail, you'll see some goofy things. Um, but just to give you a sense

[13:57] of the character that we're aiming for when we start to think about this main

[14:01] pier. Again, this is a public pier. So, this is meant to be a fixed structure

[14:04] that's going to help interrupt that flow. We will, of course, make sure that

[14:08] we have water quality and we'll monitor all that. We've actually already done

[14:11] the modeling. We don't have we we're stopping the flow of ice moving through

[14:14] to cause damage, but we have plenty of water circulation for water quality.

[14:18] This will be open to the public. Anyone will be able to go out here and enjoy

[14:20] these views and so forth. In terms of slips, you currently have 248. This plan

[14:26] shows 320, which is a 29% increase total. Again, this is the capacity, what

[14:32] we actually choose to build in phase one, and and phases will be determined

[14:35] later. One thing that's important, we did the marina market analysis. Um, the

[14:41] slips slip demand is trending upwards. When this marina was built, the primary

[14:45] boating size was 30 to 40 ft in length. It's now 35 to 50 ft. This is where the

[14:50] most uh uh number of boats are. So you actually have while there's only a 29%

[14:55] increase in the number of slips, we have more larger slips. So it's actually 40%

[15:00] 46% more capacity available. I want to point out nobody's going to lose their

[15:04] slip. All existing voters will have the same slips that they have now in terms

[15:07] of size and capacity. So we're not displacing anyone. And in terms of

[15:10] actually the construction, uh we should be able to set this up so that the

[15:14] construction occurs during the off season. The Boers might lose a few weeks

[15:17] at the very end. We might have to move them to another part of the marina. and

[15:20] when they come back in the spring, they should have a brand marina, brand new

[15:22] marina to come to. We simply can't lose a boating season in the Great Lakes. We

[15:26] have 100 days. So, um, so just some quick numbers there.

[15:31] Um, moving past that. So, we also have a second set of, uh, public and bo

[15:37] restrooms over here. What you're seeing here is it's primarily public restrooms.

[15:41] There are three um, marina dedicated um, shower rooms on the backside here. So,

[15:47] there'd be a shower and a toilet in here behind a lock. Everything else is

[15:50] public. So about uh 80% of that building is public over there. Just some quick

[15:55] imagery of what the docks might look like. We're looking at different

[15:57] materials and we'll be going through that in greater detail as we move

[16:01] forward. Um and then as we start to talk about the public spaces. Um we're just

[16:07] using some examples here of some interesting spaces about how we might

[16:10] build cool um places for people to walk and enjoy and sit and sit and enjoy the

[16:15] views. um and build interesting shapes and play spaces with cool interesting

[16:19] lighting. Uh movable seating, thinking about, you know, people like to sit in a

[16:24] lot of different ways. Some want to sit in a bench, some want to sit in a chair,

[16:27] some want to sit in sort of these cool seat walls and features like this. One

[16:30] of the things I want to point out is the night lighting. Uh we want to be very

[16:34] careful and use dark sky lighting, which is good for um it's actually very safe.

[16:38] Seems intuitive that you have it's it's darker. Well, it's it's actually less

[16:42] contrast. And so when you have even lighting like this, what you end up with

[16:46] is this beautiful lighting character that you see on here. What you don't see

[16:49] a lot of are light sources. You see the glowing pools of light. We light up the

[16:52] things you want to see. What you actually find is in the night you can

[16:55] actually see color. When you've gone from a bad lighting environment to a

[16:59] very good dark skylighting environment, you it's amazing how much better you can

[17:02] see even though the overall volume of light is actually a little bit less.

[17:05] It's also good for u not impacting migratory bird and insect species. So

[17:09] it's a very good very good approach that we're focusing on.

[17:13] So, just some more images. We talk about a splash pad. The splash pad we are

[17:17] proposing will be a flat plaza that has jets that come out of the ground. We're

[17:20] not talking about Crayola colored structures up in the air with, you know,

[17:23] donkeys and buckets. This is meant to be an elegant solution that is fun to play

[17:28] in. But if we need to turn it off and use that space for something else, you

[17:31] turn that off and you have a usable, functional plaza space. as much as

[17:34] possible. All of our upland spaces will be multifunctional, be able to use for

[17:38] different uses at different times depending on what the park needs to be.

[17:42] We focus less on building super dedicated spaces and more flexible

[17:45] spaces. So, talking about fire pits,

[17:49] accessibility of course is completely integral to this. So, as we start to

[17:53] look at this part of the plan, um what I want to talk about quickly is the upland

[17:57] circulation. So, we're showing um first rate off is you'll notice that we've

[18:01] taken out about 30% of the parking. The parking situation you have today is

[18:06] about 90% of the time you have way more parking than you need. And that other

[18:10] 10% of the time you don't have anywhere close to enough parking. And so the

[18:14] compromise in the past was well build as much as you can. And what that meant is

[18:18] you lost a ton of park space that's otherwise usable for the community. So

[18:22] the the proposal here is to say, hey, let's make certain that on 90% of the

[18:26] days we've got all the parking we need, that we've got excellent drop off, that

[18:29] it's functional for the voters, that on a reg it's very functional and useful.

[18:33] I'm not saying parking is not important. I'm just saying it's not the most

[18:36] important thing on your waterfront. And so we're changing the way that that

[18:40] works and we're going to work with the operations team about shuttling and so

[18:43] forth. We've also added raised table crossings to address the drag racing

[18:48] that is clearly known to understand out there. If you look at Google Earth, you

[18:52] can see the the burnout marks. We've talked about an entry loop over here.

[18:55] We've had some good questions about that entry drive, whether it's a conflict for

[18:58] this and whether that's the priority. We're working through those issues.

[19:01] Again, this is a work in progress. So, these all of these topics are up for

[19:05] conversation as we evolve. And then as we get out to this end, we're calling

[19:08] this the point. We'll talk about this as a multifunctional building. we'll get

[19:11] into in detail, but I'm going to focus on this area right here, which we're

[19:15] basically turning from a parking lot into this cool interesting space,

[19:20] which has a series of outdoor rooms that will be um reservable when, you know, in

[19:24] terms of picnic shelters. Um there'll be little, they're not going to be walled

[19:28] rooms, but they'll feel like there's a dedicated space. And so, this is going

[19:31] to be set up for uh you have very large events here. Um we've designed this

[19:34] around events that could be as small as 50 or 100 people up to in some cases

[19:38] thousands. So, uh, as we talk about the building, we've got spaces for 50 and

[19:42] 100 and 200 and 400. Out in here, we have a series of spaces that can be

[19:46] small gathering rooms that can be used and to expand the function of everything

[19:49] else. So, voters could come in here, just like they said, we want to have our

[19:52] space of our own. You can come in and you reserve this just like anyone else.

[19:56] And they'll have covered shelters, maybe a fire pit, some green spaces, and so

[20:00] forth. Interesting. Cool. Public walk. Uh, instead of traditional benches,

[20:05] we're proposing swings. Something about a swing. People are attracted to them

[20:09] like a magnet. It's the craziest thing. So, we'll be looking at some of that.

[20:12] So, here's some quick what this might look like during the daytime and then a

[20:17] quick view of what that looks like at night. So, cool, fun, interesting spaces

[20:21] that create different uh usable um rooms for people. So, then pushing back into

[20:28] um the main end of the building up here. This is a large building. This is a This

[20:32] is actually an AI simulation, so don't get too excited about when we see some

[20:36] goofy things. The surfers are going the wrong way. Um, but again, it's just a

[20:39] quick study thinking about how this space might start to work as we get into

[20:43] this building. This building is really driven primarily by the upper level

[20:46] uses, which is the need for very large um, uh, gathering spaces for 200 um, and

[20:52] up to 400. Um, and that led us to looking at uh, the way this lower level

[20:58] works. So, one of the conversations from the previous master plan was this was a

[21:01] restaurant. It was a specific use. And our recommendation is that that puts

[21:06] entirely too much pressure on one business to succeed. And if that

[21:10] business goes away, then you have this empty hole in your waterfront. What

[21:13] we're proposing that you consider is to think more like the Milwaukee public

[21:16] market where you have a series of smaller businesses where maybe existing

[21:20] restaurants downtown can put a satellite out there and that you have eight or 10

[21:24] small businesses. It might be a surf shop. It might be a cheese shop. It

[21:27] might be different restaurants, tacos, whatever. It's kind of a food hall

[21:30] approach. And that means if one of them disappears, it's not the end of the

[21:34] world because it's it's if you go to the public market and one shop's gone one

[21:37] day, it's not the end of the world. You still have a really vibrant space. Of

[21:40] course, we have a lot of public restrooms and a lot of other uses in

[21:43] here. We're also proposing at the northeast corner. One of the things that

[21:46] we found when we were doing our public meetings is it was a very cold December

[21:50] day and the surfers were having a great time and uh they're stripping down and

[21:54] drying off in the parking lot. They looked really, really cold. [laughter]

[21:58] So, we're proposing to create some amenities for the surfers so that when

[22:01] it's offseason, they have a place to go change, get warmed up, get a warm

[22:05] shower, and do those sorts of things. Not that I have a problem with people

[22:07] changing in the in the parking lot. They just look really cold. Looking at the

[22:11] upper level, we've got a series of of spaces. So this does replace other types

[22:15] of uses. So we have 100 sp 100 100 guest space here and then we have two um 200

[22:21] spaces 200 person spaces here that can be broken down further. So you could

[22:25] have a series of 500 person events. You could have a 500 person event. They all

[22:30] have roof deck access on the outside. And this is a public roof deck that

[22:34] anybody who can who wants to come downstairs and maybe get tacos or

[22:37] whatever they they want to eat here, they can pop up and sit on the roof deck

[22:40] and look and so forth. So, looking at the exterior of the space

[22:44] of this is, of course, uh we're working with the first responders to make

[22:47] certain that they've got all the access that they need for fire trucks and

[22:50] emergency vehicles to get in here. Again, we've got the splash pad here.

[22:53] Cool, interesting seating so you can be out on this point. We want to make a

[22:56] much better connection from this point out to the pier. Right now, you kind of

[22:59] have that it's a little bit of a afterthought sidewalk connection. We

[23:02] want to do that better. And then this is a dedicated space uh that would be like

[23:06] an outdoor bar. You could be out there and have music, have shows, all these

[23:10] sorts of spaces here. And then we're also showing what we're calling the

[23:12] winter garden with an outdoor fire pit. So you can sit there and watch the

[23:15] surfers and sit there by a fire and do some cool things there. And then some

[23:18] outdoor plaza spaces here. So that again is just some quick

[23:23] examples of where the architecture inspiration is coming from. Some people

[23:26] think that when we talk about a green roof that we're talking about grass. We

[23:29] are not talking about grass. We're talking about very specifically selected

[23:32] sedums and other uses. Um this this type of green roof is actually in a tray

[23:36] system. So if there's an issue, it's like when you buy a flat of beonas at

[23:40] the plant, you can lift up the whole tray and access if you need to do

[23:42] something with the roof. It's a very well understood system. Works very well

[23:45] in environment. It's doesn't create bird issues or those sorts of things. It

[23:49] actually extends the life of the roof quite a bit because it protects that

[23:51] liner. So So with that, that is an hour and a half presentation in about 15

[23:58] minutes. >> I'm sure there are questions. So

[24:00] » thanks Greg. We appreciate any questions from olders.

[24:05] Alder Kelly.

[24:09] » Hi. Thank you for your presentation. I've seen uh quite a few of them and

[24:13] you're doing a really good job consolidating it down. Um so one point I

[24:17] just want to make sure is clear. So if we adopt this plan as presented, does

[24:22] that commit us to spend money on every aspect of this plan?

[24:26] » Absolutely not. This is a master plan that sets out a long-term vision and as

[24:30] you go through, I would imagine you'll be approving each individual phase as it

[24:34] comes along. clear the marina is the immediate priority and and so as we're

[24:38] working on that you'll be able to say that marina makes sense and I'm certain

[24:40] as we get to that point there'll be an actual bid and you'll say that's the

[24:42] right amount of we're comfortable with >> one followup if that's okay

[24:47] » um so just a comment and you alluded to it um item F and G um looks like it's a

[24:53] relocation of a shelter bathroom uh in order to make u an access drive so I I

[25:00] understand where that's coming from um and I I do think that we should

[25:04] prioritize the experience of people at the park rather than people trying to

[25:08] leave the park. Um, so I I just feel like we should maybe step away from this

[25:14] idea in terms of a more cost-effective way to handle the traffic issue that

[25:19] seems like it would be just for sort of the big events. Maybe we change the

[25:23] traffic in a different way rather than tying in, you know, a specific access

[25:28] drive just for a couple days of the year that might have um heavier traffic. But

[25:32] otherwise, um, great job. I really enjoy, um, hearing about the, you know,

[25:37] flexibility built into the plan. I think that's really important going forward.

[25:41] So, thank you for your presentation. >> Alder Heidman.

[25:44] » Thank you, Mayor. Um, again, this is I've seen his presentation a couple

[25:48] times and we've had conversations. Um, so we're going to adopt a plan. We're

[25:53] going to say, "Yeah, we're really all in favor of this. Uh, how are we going to

[25:57] pay for this? Is there a is there a special tax? Is this all out of TIFF

[26:02] district? If you could give me an understanding on how this is actually

[26:05] going to be paid for, I'd appreciate it. >> City administrator.

[26:09] » Um, so in the TID 21 project plan, I believe we have about I think it's $17

[26:14] million um dedicated to funding this portion of the project. So, the marina

[26:21] redevelopment waterfront. Um so on top of that we also plan on going for quite

[26:28] a number of grants that this project will qualify for. We've had preliminary

[26:32] conversations with state agencies with private foundations things like that. So

[26:38] um the total amount available still not fully understood until we have so once

[26:43] we get to this point if we're moving forward uh the next stage obviously

[26:47] would be kind of kind of like what we're doing with the fire stations. we're at

[26:50] each stage of this. Um we're going to bring it back and get get your input,

[26:55] your feedback, and then if you want us to move forward to the next stage or

[26:58] not. So um this stage basically gets to the point where we can start applying

[27:03] for grants and start getting that better understanding um of what potentially

[27:09] we'd be eligible for. So we have a whole matrix of various grants from different

[27:14] agencies uh whether they're state, local or private um that various elements of

[27:20] this project will qualify for. So um you know there's transportation grants that

[27:26] we can go after for the uh sidewalk and infrastructure inside of the the area

[27:32] here that you know like the sidewalks aren't going to qualify for but the

[27:35] multimmoal paths will. Um there's grants for clean water funds uh related to the

[27:41] water and sewer that would go in here. And then there's grants available for

[27:45] storm water runoff that we can address um both public and private that will

[27:49] help address and um various issues or various components within this plan. So

[27:55] we need to start putting all of that together um to give you a really good

[27:59] idea of what funding might actually be available. And we also need to nail down

[28:04] what the actual projected costs are. >> So the next stage of this is getting

[28:09] more, you know, right now we just got kind of AI renderings and we've got, you

[28:13] know, that schematic design where it's just basically lines on paper. We need

[28:16] to start having the conversation of what are the materials that are going to be

[28:20] used. What are the actual layouts of these buildings? And once we start

[28:23] honing in on that, then we can get a better idea of what exactly we would

[28:27] need to fund these projects and then is it actually fundable.

[28:31] » Okay. Thank you. Uh just a followup, mayor. Um when this all started, I'm I'm

[28:37] 100% behind having marina that is functional and appropriate for the city

[28:44] of Shuagen and it's going to and the boating community is going to be taken

[28:49] care of. That was the initial thing. Now all of a sudden we morph off into all

[28:53] this other stuff. And I guess if if I had an opportunity to get one and I we

[29:01] we talked about it earlier if and and if you want to give me that number just the

[29:05] cost of of the marina alone is approximate with that building with the

[29:10] other building because we have to replace that other building. I

[29:13] understand that. Just ballpark it for me.

[29:16] » I would say the marina itself is in the $17 million range. That public pier is

[29:22] in about a three and a half million dollar range. very preliminary and that

[29:25] building right there is in the 3 to 5 million range. We're working on that

[29:28] with contractors. So all of those things together at this point I would say is in

[29:32] the 25ish range and we're we're working on that. It's very preliminary but we're

[29:36] comfortable. We have a higher level of confidence in the marina design because

[29:38] we know so much about that. the upland design of the building takes more time

[29:42] » and and I appreciate it and I think that it's important that the citizens realize

[29:47] what we're we're trying to adopt as a plan and going forward with that we

[29:51] actually have an idea of what it might cost for a change as opposed to later on

[29:55] peacemealing and saying now we're not doing this now we're doing this now

[29:59] we're doing this so the initial concept and what we just talked about I'm 100%

[30:04] for so thank you very much >> thank you Alder heman uh Alder close.

[30:09] » Thank you. I I just wanted to comment that uh looking at this design, the

[30:14] original design of the marina was so much more focused on Boers and amenities

[30:18] for Boers that this really changed the focus of the marina uh from a strictly

[30:23] boater oriented type of destination to a true destination for the people of

[30:27] Shboan and also gives an opportunity for a lot of the local small businesses to

[30:31] really shine and showcase what Shboan is all about. Uh, unfortunately, a lot of

[30:35] the people who come to the marina might just spend time in the marina and then

[30:38] head back out in the water. Now, they actually get a chance to see what the

[30:42] small businesses are all about and have the opportunity to uh share in some of

[30:45] the amenities that we enjoy here at home. So, thank you.

[30:49] » Thank you. Thank you, Alder Close. Alder Brimzer,

[30:53] » thank you. Um, I I agree with Alder Close. Um, I just appreciate that the

[30:58] design has those dedicated spaces for folks that are living in Shbboen. um not

[31:03] just for the voters. So, um I think it's easier to get behind this when I know

[31:08] that my kids can use the splash pad and we can all head down there at any time

[31:12] and enjoy the space. Um the folks that live here, I just have one question. So,

[31:16] those four shelters um that would be along the marina.

[31:20] » Um so, you said they'll be like open >> open buildings. So, and then they will

[31:27] have like a fireplace. So would those be reservable or would it be like first

[31:31] come first serve? >> I think I think the plan at the moment

[31:34] it's an operational issue but they'd be reservable in the same way other

[31:37] dedicated you know picnic shelters and things would be reservable. Yep.

[31:40] » Okay cool. Thank you >> older per.

[31:43] » Thank you. Um just to make I just want to uh clarify again. So the next if we

[31:51] um we go to the next stage >> Mhm. Will we still be able to um remove

[31:59] some parts of these projects that we do not feel we want to support? So, or in

[32:06] other words, your plan is a comprehensive plan. Mhm.

[32:10] » And so if we don't want those open spaces,

[32:15] right, those uh open uh shops or we don't want the the splash pad or we

[32:21] don't want the whole event new event building.

[32:25] » Mhm. >> How comfortable will you be? Will be as

[32:28] easy as remove that part from your part project, remove this, remove this,

[32:34] remove this and go on to the next step. I want to make sure that we as a body

[32:40] are able to truly um assess each individual piece piece of this project

[32:47] rather than arriving at the very last and say oh now we cannot do anything

[32:52] anymore or now we are forced to or whatever else we it would be presented

[32:57] at that time I don't want this body to be in that and then the other concern so

[33:02] I I will let you answer that but then the other concern I have is this is as

[33:07] cool as it comes, right? It's hard not to like it. However, I also think there

[33:14] is nothing more sad that a cool place that is not used.

[33:20] » How [clears throat] do we know that this actually will be as used and attractive

[33:26] or generate the type of business we want? What is the type of study we have

[33:31] done as a city? uh will there be an interest for little

[33:37] restaurants there? Will there I know the wants that we all expressed but I don't

[33:42] know what is the type of assessment we truly have of the return

[33:49] » um on this investment. We have lived and experienced in Marina for 30 years that

[33:54] has not been profitable. >> Mh. So if we have to learn from the past

[34:01] uh that is something that speaks pretty loud about it and I keep saying the same

[34:07] thing over and over again because I don't think we have a clear I don't

[34:12] think we have addressed this clearly enough.

[34:16] » So what I would say is this is the schematic design level. So everything's

[34:19] in process. We as a design team take our direction from the steering committee

[34:23] which is made up of many of your staff around here. Um so your direction to the

[34:27] steering committee would pass to us in terms of components that stay in or go.

[34:31] Um so from that perspective we'll continue this again is an overall vision

[34:36] and so if a major element would come out one of the conversations be well what

[34:39] goes there and how do we address what what that space will be wouldn't leave

[34:42] an empty hole for example. So I would say that your your feedback to the

[34:45] marina steering committee will come directly to us and that's that's how our

[34:48] how we're set up um as it relates to uh what what I think of as the market

[34:53] analysis. And so, um, you know, I I really appreciate the comments. It's not

[34:56] about the boers. I am a boater. And this is from a boater perspective. This is

[35:00] fantastic because boers want great docks, but they also want cool, great

[35:03] spaces. And one of the things that we've done, we actually did a survey of over

[35:06] 5,000 voters um for a project in Michigan for the state of Michigan. And

[35:11] we asked them to name the best harbor just with no context, just what's the

[35:14] best one. And they they picked a place called Charavoy, Michigan. And when you

[35:18] look at it, it's all about this space with this great park and this cool

[35:21] interesting the ice cream and the restaurants and the stuff. So, it's

[35:23] exactly the things that we're putting in here. So, we know that that is what at

[35:26] least the voters want as it relates to what the rest of the community wants.

[35:31] And I would back up. We actually did a a marina market analysis for this harbor

[35:35] for the um uh the what's the name of the organization we did the study for?

[35:39] [laughter] >> Visit Shbboan.

[35:41] » Vision. Vision. Thank you. Sorry, I should know that. Visit Shbboen. So, we

[35:45] did the marina mark analysis. So we know that we have actual data from doing a

[35:48] mark analysis um for this. So when we're sizing the actual slips and all the

[35:52] things very high level of confidence in the slip sizing and everything else what

[35:56] boats are out there. So on the marina side we've done that on the upland side.

[35:59] Um exactly programming the building and exactly what's coming. I will tell you

[36:03] this um I know that the one the problem we have right now and what people didn't

[36:07] feel welcome was they didn't feel welcome in you know there's the bar on

[36:10] the second floor of the Marina building. Can I go in there? you know that this is

[36:14] a space that's exactly the reverse and so when everything's about the community

[36:17] you have that what I would recommend as that building evolves there's certainly

[36:21] the need to engage local businesses and everybody else going hey if we have this

[36:24] will you come and you so that is a process that would go on we're we're

[36:28] designing the building and the program for it actually confirming that program

[36:32] and with local business is a process that would be ongoing through design

[36:35] development

[36:38] » good okay any other questions all All right. Thank you, Greg.

[36:43] Appreciate it. >> All right. Next, uh item 11, another

[36:47] presentation by the Shboen public safety departments, uh for the design

[36:52] development process, and then we have fire chief and Laura will give an

[36:56] update. >> Thank you.

[37:02] » Hi, mayor. Thank you, council members. We're at that point again where we're

[37:06] seeking permission to move to the next phase. With me is uh Laura Eisenogle

[37:11] from Wendell 5 Bugle Design. She'll give you a little presentation uh on where

[37:16] where we have been, where we're at, and then we're moving forward. So, she'll

[37:20] make it quick, but here I'll turn it over to Laura.

[37:26] » Got it down here. Sorry. >> Yeah, I was going to just make it um I

[37:29] [clears throat] was going to do one thing real quick. I was going to go like

[37:31] that so it's bigger >> and then go like that. Okay, perfect.

[37:35] Excellent. Um again, so thank you so much for having me here tonight. Uh my

[37:38] name is Laura Eisenog. I work for Window and Five Bugles. Like Chief said, I've

[37:41] been here several different times to go over this presentation and just kind of

[37:45] give progress. So um as Chief said, we're going to go over the project to

[37:48] date, what we've been covering over the last couple of months, and then what

[37:51] we're proposing going on to next. So essentially, we started um couple years

[37:56] ago, a year ago now. Uh we went through concept design, we came and spoke to

[38:00] you, schematic design, which is where these folks are at, then design

[38:03] development. And so now where we are is we're about 60% done with our documents

[38:07] and we're hoping to move on to the construction document phase and then

[38:10] ultimately bidding. So um into the design development phase the it's

[38:16] exactly what it says. It's the development of all the design details

[38:18] throughout the project. So we really started focusing in on specific systems

[38:22] materials uh how things are really truly going to function. uh we really uh

[38:27] talked a lot to your departments about the civil engineering, how that's going

[38:30] to work and the specialty design with your firing range and with your fire

[38:34] tower and just kept working through all the details. So essentially over in the

[38:40] overall picture, not much has changed. It's just a lot more uh details have

[38:44] been developed on it. So, we still have our five facilities on the public safety

[38:47] complex with the station three, the support building, uh the fire uh

[38:52] training tower, the firing range, and then the addition to the police

[38:55] department for their fleet storage and evidence storage. So, again, just kind

[38:59] of zooming in on this. Um we did not move the site. The site's still at 23rd

[39:03] Street. So, everything is just exactly how you saw it before. Um we are to the

[39:07] point though that though that we are developing what the exteriors look like

[39:11] in more definition. So, this is the direction that the building's headed.

[39:14] It's not final yet. We're still working through some items, but you can kind of

[39:17] get the overall uh understanding of what we've been developing with the chief and

[39:21] with the department. In terms of the floor plan design, again, really nothing

[39:25] changed. We really started diving in. You know, hallways might have tweaked a

[39:29] little bit here or there, but the overall intent of the project has

[39:31] remained the same with training and administration on the first floor and

[39:35] personal decontamination. our primary response bays and our support uh command

[39:40] garage and then our exercise room is all on the first floor of station 3. And

[39:44] then on the second floor of station 3 is our living quarters for our department.

[39:48] Um in terms of interior finishes, we started working through interior

[39:51] finishes as well as exterior finishes with our department. They are not

[39:54] finalized yet, but you can kind of get the uh impression that they are going

[39:58] for very comfortable homey uh surroundings that are very durable and

[40:02] will last the test of time, especially with fire departments. Um, in terms of

[40:07] what we're starting to look like on the interiors, uh, this is a picture of our

[40:10] lobby space. This will be coming out of the training room looking back to the

[40:13] front entry with the entry to the fire department, uh, administration on the

[40:17] left hand side. Um, this is our large training room that we have. This will

[40:21] also be used for public for voting. Um, but it's primarily used for a training

[40:25] room and then as an EOC or emergency operations center. Uh, this is our

[40:30] administration break room. making sure that our administration has a spot to

[40:33] take a minute throughout the course of the day. They can also use it for an

[40:36] informal conference space throughout the day. And then when we move upstairs,

[40:40] this is an image of our day room or a kitchen space to make sure that our

[40:43] responders have a nice big kitchen. And then this is looking back at their

[40:47] dining room in the foreground, the day room or their living room in the back

[40:50] right, and then the kitchen space in the back left.

[40:53] Um, located directly behind station 3 is our um apparatus support base. This is a

[40:58] singlestory facility. It's six backin bays. Um, this will be made out of

[41:04] pre-cast. So, we're still working through how that pre-cast will relate in

[41:07] terms of finish to station 3. And then located behind or next to that is our

[41:13] fire training tower. And um, again, this is an example of what the training tower

[41:17] will look like. Each one of these training towers is specifically designed

[41:20] for your department. So, yours will be a little bit different, but all intents

[41:23] and purposes, this is what it will be. It's a five-story complex for live fire

[41:27] training that will be used by the police department, fire department, and the

[41:30] public works departments. Um, in terms of the firing range, um,

[41:36] again, the for plan for this has not really changed significantly. We've been

[41:39] working through how it's going to function, though. Um, but we still have

[41:42] our police department entry from the north, our fire department entry from

[41:45] the south. We're still having our dirty classroom or classroom space that we

[41:49] don't have to worry about going in when they're coming from the live fire

[41:51] training tower. they can go right into the space without doing too much of a

[41:55] decon process. That's what it means to be a dirty classroom. And then the

[41:58] firing ranges in the red with the training mezzanine up above. Um our

[42:02] police department expansion, we are proposing doing that in again pre-cast

[42:06] tip-up panels to help save cost but also still make it a very durable structure

[42:10] for our police department. We're working through what this one will look like,

[42:13] but our intention is to have it reflect the existing building with the gray

[42:17] block and then some uh horizontal banding that will kind of blend into

[42:21] what you have there already. Um, in terms of what this looks like, again,

[42:25] the floor plan did not change. Uh, so we have our fleet garage space, maintenance

[42:29] storage, evidence storage, and then it attaches onto the existing facility. In

[42:34] terms of station two, the only change that we really had to this project was

[42:38] instead of having our primary response to the south on me, we are going to have

[42:43] our response onto 18th Street. Um that was a decision that the department made

[42:48] after hearing some concerns from the community and then thinking through how

[42:51] they are responding and how the roadways are constructed. So just like with

[42:55] station 3, uh we're still designing the exterior elements, but this is

[42:59] essentially what we are um pushing forward with with the design. very

[43:03] traditional looking fire stations. And again, not much has changed on the floor

[43:07] plans. We still have our exercise, a little bit of uh training space, a small

[43:12] administration of one office, and then a conference room, and then our watch

[43:15] room. M. Uh the main thing on this first floor are our apparatus bays, which are

[43:19] two drive-through bays and one back in bay, and then our personal

[43:21] decontamination. On the second floor, then uh we have our

[43:26] um dorms and our living quarters. Our living quarters, our kitchen and dining

[43:30] space. We'll be keeping the interior finishes the same from interior and

[43:34] exterior finishes the same from both stations uh to keep it nice and

[43:38] consistent. This again is the lobby. So, this is right when you're walking into

[43:42] station 2. So, those doors there, that's the glass door. That'll show you um that

[43:46] goes into the conference room. And then the door on the right hand side goes to

[43:50] the back of the station or the back of house spaces. When we go upstairs, this

[43:54] is our kitchen space for our responders. And then our dining room is uh connected

[43:58] to that space with some windows to the north to make sure they get some nice

[44:01] natural light into that space. And then the windows on the right hand side, the

[44:05] square windows, those go uh look down into the apparatus bay. In terms of the

[44:09] day room, this is our day room. Again, it's internally located. So we did have

[44:13] some windows that look down into the apparatus bays. They can get some

[44:15] borrowed light into those spaces. So what's next? Um like I mentioned, we

[44:21] just finished up our 60% document set. who are proposing we're asking

[44:24] permission to go into construction documents. Um so in construction

[44:29] documents we will finalize the the documents that would go out for bidding.

[44:32] So we'll really concentrate on the final details um door hardware, interior

[44:37] finishes and exterior finishes. Uh we'll dive into more of the owner purchased

[44:42] equipment such as vehicle exhaust or security systems and our station

[44:45] alerting. And then ultimately we will come back to the department. We'll have

[44:49] a series of meetings but it will culminate in the 90% owner review which

[44:52] is a final page turn that we go through. So in terms of overall project schedule

[44:58] this is a proposed schedule. Obviously we can flex it as much as we need to and

[45:02] you know adapt as we would like to but essentially our team will be ready to go

[45:05] to bid uh this January. So it would be our goal to hand over the documents in

[45:11] January and ask permission to go to bid in January. Um if we are given

[45:15] permission then we would release for bid. We are proposing about a one-mon

[45:19] bid period. Um once we have the bids received, we would read through them,

[45:24] vet the bids, vet the bids to make sure that everything is um appropriate and

[45:29] then come back to um seek permission to award the bids and go into mobilization.

[45:35] Um if all that goes to plan, we'd be breaking ground in the spring. Sometime

[45:40] around April would be the goal. Um March, if we have a really great winter,

[45:44] a really warm winter for us is great for construction. and then ribbon cutting

[45:48] would be about 15 months later. Um, in terms of the estimate, so we kept right

[45:54] on track with where it was before. The only thing that you'll see different is

[45:58] that we did break out the station alerting security and vehicle exhaust.

[46:02] Those numbers were up above for stations two, station three, and then the other

[46:06] facilities associated with this project. But we are going to be looking at uh

[46:10] including uh vehicle exhaust alerting and security at your other stations to

[46:14] make sure that all the stations are receiving the same type of equipment.

[46:18] And that's why that's broken out at the bottom.

[46:21] Um and that's it. >> All right.

[46:23] » Questions? >> Thank you, Laura. City administrator TS

[46:27] up. >> Yeah. Can you go back one slide there?

[46:31] Uh just to point out for everybody, we we do have these in the budget to be

[46:35] replaced over the next couple years. And what we've asked the chief to do is to

[46:40] include them if we're going to do these two projects. It doesn't make sense to

[46:44] do two stations and then do the other three independently. Um so we would look

[46:49] at doing one bid for all five stations and that's why we've we've put it here.

[46:54] But um this wouldn't be new borrowing that we would do for the other stations.

[46:58] it's already in the budget and planned for. Um, so it just basically be done as

[47:03] a part of the capital plan as it's already planned just with this project

[47:07] to help uh reduce the overall costs. Instead of five separate projects, it

[47:12] would be one project affecting all five stations.

[47:16] Questions uh for for Laura or the fire chief?

[47:23] » All right, seeing none. Thank you. >> Thank you.

[47:26] » All right. Next item 12, public forum. Deputy city clerk. Anyone for this

[47:31] evening? >> There are four speaking this evening.

[47:34] » All right. First, >> Michael Brunette.

[47:38] » You have a question. Joe,

[47:42] » uh, we're postponing that one. >> Yeah. All right. Mike, name, address,

[47:46] and item you're speaking on, and you have five minutes.

[47:49] » 611 North Water Street, apartment 303, item number seven, and more. Okay, item

[47:58] number seven is appointments to the board, the board of the housing

[48:03] authority or whatever it's called. And uh basically they had they had a couple

[48:09] resignations recently and like everything shuigen everywhere everybody

[48:17] villainizes the old white guy. This dude, half you guys in here, white

[48:23] women, what it is, but the old white guy, most evil thing in the history of

[48:27] the world. Election times, people are rolling around saying, "Vote for this

[48:31] guy cuz he's this that, that, anything but the old white guy." Truth is, when

[48:35] you look at your boards, they're all white guys. They're all white women.

[48:39] It's just what it is. It's what it is. And right now in the housing authority

[48:43] board, you had a bunch of people resign and da da da and you brought in more of

[48:50] what I would call cronyism professional administrators and basically you had one

[48:56] person move in and another person moving in and I don't feel safe there. These

[49:01] are people that are hostile to me openly and they're becoming my they're becoming

[49:06] my keepers. And moving on from that, it's not going to matter. It's what it

[49:10] is. you had on on that board, you had John Donovan who was on redevelopment

[49:14] authority and he was on housing authority and he's there at the meeting.

[49:17] I'm there for a totally different reason and it's like but you go there and

[49:22] you're just like what the and literally he's telling everybody how he's in

[49:27] Ireland and he's doing this stuff and he's using his in-laws address and I

[49:32] mention it to Lisa Salgado. She mentions it and all a sudden it's a big huff huff

[49:35] up and I'm like gez, you know, it's like I don't mention it to people so he can

[49:38] use it cuz I'm no one actually goes here. So then everybody's mad at me for

[49:42] calling this out. But seriously, if this dude was in housing, he'd get kicked out

[49:48] of the building for doing what he would and he'd lose his pension or whatever

[49:52] this and that. D, but you're in there as an administrator. You're coming in there

[49:56] with no heart and you're looking at stuff from money instead of as people.

[50:00] And the same thing with what you're doing with all this other stuff. Now,

[50:03] one mention of people you're doing public safety, how much you're going to

[50:07] spend to keep people safe here. You created a blighted area called the

[50:12] marina where right now broken window theory. Somebody brought it up to me the

[50:16] other week. And I'm like, "Yeah, I kind of know what it is." But you created it

[50:20] there where you created a void. So, the kids are there, then you're calling the

[50:23] police on them, so the police are hassling them. Oh. Oh, that's a problem

[50:26] now. And that plan is ridiculous. There's no real plan there. They'll have

[50:32] somebody come in 3 to 5 years and and then the Army Corps will take care of

[50:36] stuff. You'll take care of this. That over half your boats are fishing boats.

[50:40] Just true. I I surveyed it, went through with my drones and got every square inch

[50:45] of that and checked on it. It's basically a junkyard on the water. Why

[50:50] are you only pushing one agenda down on the water that has failed forever? It

[50:54] was voted down then and you're doing it again. and the public safety thing. Just

[50:58] the insane amount of money you people are spending and it has nothing to do

[51:03] with citizens. We can't have anything. Oh, it's for the voters this and that

[51:08] and that. The hell with the voters. They had to run and they blew it to say the

[51:13] least. You can still have boats there. You just don't have to make it a big

[51:17] damn parking lot and then put in there basically you're trying to put a little

[51:21] mini summerfest grounds on. And the bottom line is you don't know how to run

[51:24] anything. You've proven that. You have proven that.

[51:29] » All right. City clerk, deputy city clerk,

[51:33] » Fern Lamibo,

[51:37] » Fern, name, address, item you're speaking on, and you'll have five

[51:40] minutes. You just adjust the mic. Thank you.

[51:44] » Fern Luma, 409 Wisconsin Avenue, and I am here to discuss number 17, which is

[51:49] the adoption of the waterfront plan. So, of course, I could nitpick a bunch of

[51:53] small little things uh that I'm just particular about, like the face of the

[51:57] building blocks, the view from the beach pavilion to the lighthouse. Like,

[52:01] there's a bunch of little things, but overall, the biggest thing that I get

[52:05] still am a bit disappointed to is that there still wasn't too much public

[52:10] input. Uh sessions allowed for it. I know when uh the comprehensive plan came

[52:15] through, there was push and we added more into it. you mentioned um that

[52:20] there were many and there were two the one in December um 18 2025 which was

[52:26] before this entire plan and these pictures have come through and since

[52:29] then we've had the July 21st one which was the only other one and from the city

[52:34] side of it even on their like social media there's only one post which was

[52:38] the event creation for the July 21st one and nothing else pushing it forward

[52:43] anywhere even closer towards the event which I find a shame cuz I love to try

[52:48] to inform the public on things. It's one of those things that I find the most

[52:51] important because an informed community has at least the opportunity to make a

[52:55] difference, but people that don't know what's happening get so lost. And so

[52:59] many times I get the comment of, "Oh, we're working on a marina plan. That's

[53:03] crazy." And I find it very difficult cuz I would love the city to just push for

[53:08] that forward so we do get more public input and get the ability to get just

[53:13] everybody's perspective. The other bigger thought on the marina building

[53:17] itself, I'm a huge fan of separating the facilities. I think it makes sense

[53:20] moving the boating things back down towards the boating area, keep it

[53:24] consolidated. Um, for the building itself, I do personally believe that we

[53:28] are biting too much that we can't handle. It's such a large facility

[53:34] that's housing so many different things, so many different businesses, buildings,

[53:37] and from my perspective, I've seen us struggle with the current Marina

[53:41] building. And that in itself, although I know it is not repairable for a

[53:47] reasonable cost, we still let it go downhill over the past, you know, 30

[53:50] plus years to get to where it's at today. And for the management side of

[53:54] it, I know I've talked to the bar owners at times who were in there and they

[53:58] struggled. One thing I'll question is about just like the plan for signage.

[54:01] That was one of those things that was mentioned at the time that it was

[54:04] difficult to always get their name out. This will be different because it's such

[54:07] a large scale facility, but with that, there's just so much going into it. all

[54:11] of the event spaces, all of the shops, and then let alone all of the pavilions.

[54:16] It is, I just think, too much to be assuming that we'll have be able to like

[54:21] manage all of it as a city. Um, the parking situation I do find concerning.

[54:25] If there's anybody that knows me, they'll know I will not advocate for

[54:28] more parking. Not a huge fan. I don't like driving. I'll walk and bike

[54:31] everywhere. But with the amount of parking spaces cut and adding all these

[54:36] facilities, I just can't see it. I was trying to math out how many spaces you

[54:40] would need, but having a 500 person event space and then even if those shops

[54:44] are running and you got workers there, caterers there, that parking space is

[54:49] already full with the like the 240 that was approximated to be um you know

[54:55] still maintained. The next public walking parking I guess would be street

[55:00] parking about 1,000 ft away from both entrances. And overall that part I don't

[55:06] know how feasible it sounds to me. Um storage facilities for all of it. Each

[55:13] one of the event spaces I'm very curious on. I know we're going to go into the

[55:17] further details but planning all the windows and everything. Some of these to

[55:20] me should be planned a little bit better where the chairs, the tables, first

[55:24] floor, second floor, restaurants, all of that. Uh there's a very minimal amount

[55:29] of like storage andor like backstock rooms for people to be able to like do

[55:33] the marketing for things. And I know we're comparing it sort of to the

[55:37] Milwaukee public spaces or the public market, but to me that's also a very

[55:42] different situation. Theirs is directly in the heart of town. Ours is on the

[55:46] edge and we're now turning a destination space away from downtown, away from the

[55:50] riverfront when we've already put so much money into those themselves and

[55:55] they're doing okay. I think they could always be doing better. I wish we did

[55:58] put some more attention into either one of those. Um, but that's where I do

[56:03] think it's just it is a lot. I've also been told to mention something about

[56:06] like birds safe glass is a big thing, especially with all those tall windows.

[56:10] There's like the restrooms number or letter C. I think they're almost a bit

[56:15] excessive to put another building in front of all the glass windows. That's

[56:18] going to be the bar and restaurant. It blocks the view, which is I think one of

[56:22] the biggest parts of doing that. Um, yeah, it's one of those things that I

[56:27] could really go and talk about way too many things, but I just like designing.

[56:31] Um, but the biggest thing is please do more public input, push bigger for

[56:36] people to come in, have more spaces, uptown social. I know there's a lot of

[56:41] things going on, but I think it' make a big impact for the members of community.

[56:47] » Thank you, Deputy City Clerk. >> Peter, mayor.

[56:53] Peter, name, address, item you're speaking on. Five minutes.

[56:56] » Thank you. Uh, my name is Peter Mayor. My residence is 1314 North Fifth Street.

[57:01] My office address is 502 North 6th Street. And I am uh the chair of the

[57:07] Marina Parks and Forestry Commission, but these are my personal comments. Um,

[57:11] I'm speaking on agenda item 17 in favor of adoption of the waterfront marina

[57:16] master plan and schematic design prepared by Edgewater Resources. In

[57:21] general, I'm in favor of the Marina plan because it satisfies the guiding

[57:25] principles, including the following. One, the plan addresses in the best

[57:29] manner possible the physical conditions, including winter, ice, and storm issues.

[57:35] Two, the marina elements are designed in a manner that will enable the marina

[57:40] itself to be financially feasible and self-sufficient. Three, the design plan

[57:46] brings the entire community, including non-boers, into the waterfront spaces in

[57:51] the best manner possible for the benefit of the greater Shboan community. Some of

[57:56] the design elements I like in particular are one, the opportunity to phase marina

[58:01] slip installation to grow the marina over time to meet demand as it increases

[58:07] and delay some front-end expenses for docks until the marina fully rebounds.

[58:12] to a right-sized, properly located multi-purpose marina building uh to

[58:18] better address parks department needs, marina staffing levels, and proximity to

[58:23] the fuel docks. Operationally less costly but sufficiently attractive

[58:27] boater lounge and other boater amenities to attract seasonal and transient boers.

[58:33] Uh and uh park security uh first responder and safety allocated space.

[58:39] Again, uh if you saw the numbers in detail, the prior Marina admin building

[58:44] is 11,000 ft². This one is 9,500. So, we're right sizing it but creating

[58:51] multi-purpose use. Um outstanding design, particularly of green space to

[58:57] encourage the entire community to visit the waterfront, including three smaller

[59:01] waterfront gathering spaces along the prominade with fire pits, swings, and

[59:07] park facilities. Uh and four unique uh popjet splash pad, attractively designed

[59:13] pathways, pergola seating areas, better park style lighting, surfers winter

[59:17] terrace with uh with fire pit, reduced parking lot size, public access pier,

[59:23] and courtesy dock that together better join a familyfriendly community marina

[59:30] to a familyfriendly dand park. Back in October of 2025, the Marina Parks and

[59:37] Forestry Commission recommended hiring Edgewater Resources, but expressed

[59:42] concern on two issues. Uh, first was a review of the current current marina

[59:47] admin building structure to determine whether it was adequate and could be

[59:52] maintained and continue to be used. We appreciate that additional review and

[59:58] investigation was done. Although the result was that the admin building can't

[1:00:02] be realistically retained, we're glad that that review was done just so that

[1:00:07] we're assured that that's the right step to take. The second element was that the

[1:00:11] Marina Parks and Forestry Commission uh voted to recommend only a restaurant and

[1:00:17] event space uh if it was privately funded uh to obtain and address the

[1:00:23] construction cost of the building. Um, with respect to the Dand Park Event

[1:00:28] Building, I don't have enough information on the cost of removing the

[1:00:32] well-liked and regularly used Dand Community Center and building the Dand

[1:00:37] Park event building, which seems to necessitate moving forward to the next

[1:00:42] step uh in order to obtain construction cost estimates. Um, I do very much like

[1:00:48] the Dan Park event building, including broad community access to event space

[1:00:53] and the small shop, small food stall marketplace, similar in concept to a

[1:00:58] scaledown Milwaukee public market, Chelsea Market in New York City, Reading

[1:01:03] Terminal Market in Philly, uh, Pike Place in Seattle, or Lincoln Eery in

[1:01:08] Miami Beach, which are all very successful community marketplaces. Um,

[1:01:13] however, I'm concerned about whether that building will be financially

[1:01:16] self-sufficient uh on its own. I don't believe that the Marina slip operations

[1:01:22] can financially subsidize and support the Dion Park event building. So, it's

[1:01:27] going to need to stand on its own. Um therefore I believe it's going going to

[1:01:32] be critical to have detailed operational plans and financial performs in place

[1:01:37] including tenant leases and eventbased market analysis before removing the

[1:01:42] existing dand community center and proceeding with the dand park event

[1:01:46] building. Again though that's further ahead. Uh right now we're at the stage

[1:01:52] of the master plan and schematic design approval which I can wholeheartedly

[1:01:56] recommend at this time while also recommending that operational plans and

[1:02:01] financial performs and market analysis uh be done on the Dian Park event

[1:02:06] building itself. Thank you. >> Thank you Peter.

[1:02:09] » Deputy city clerk >> Kurt Cobber.

[1:02:14] » Mr. Cobber name, address, item you're speaking on and then you'll have five

[1:02:19] minutes. All right, sounds good. Good evening. My name is Kurt Cobber residing

[1:02:22] at 534 Humbled Avenue. I'll be speaking to item number 17 on the agenda,

[1:02:28] adopting the new waterfront marina master plan and schematic design. Uh

[1:02:32] Mayor Sorenson and common council along with the city staff, I want to thank you

[1:02:37] for the work you do for our community. Uh the choice you do is significant and

[1:02:42] our city would not operate without you. So I want to thank you on the front end

[1:02:46] for your contribution to our community. I'm a fourth generation Shabboanite uh

[1:02:50] lakeshore homeowner, a boat owner, and someone who has been actively involved

[1:02:54] in shoreline issues from the Southshore Revetman project to the broader

[1:02:58] lakefront and waterfront. I'm here tonight to strongly support the

[1:03:02] Edgewater Resources Marina plan in its entirety. I'm looking at what really

[1:03:07] makes to be a successful marina. Tonight, we will talk about the first

[1:03:11] piece, which are slips, but there are two other pieces, storage and service.

[1:03:16] But slips come first, and that's what we'll focus tonight on. We need safe,

[1:03:20] modern slips in good condition, protected by the right breakwater

[1:03:24] infrastructure designed around actual conditions we experience in Lake

[1:03:27] Michigan. We definitely saw that tonight and the work that Edgewater did. I'm

[1:03:32] encouraged by that work because that's not always been the case when we've done

[1:03:35] these developments in the past and we've looked at extreme conditions in every

[1:03:39] direction and we clearly see that in the plan. I'm also encouraged by the design

[1:03:44] and how it opens up the waterfront to the broader community. This is not just

[1:03:48] a boater plan. This is a community plan and that was very clear from the

[1:03:52] beginning that the community was asking for the waterfront to be a waterfront

[1:03:56] for everyone and as a boater I support that. Uh yes, it improves slips and

[1:04:00] boating infrastructure but ultimately it becomes a broader community asset and we

[1:04:04] are so fortunate to have so many here in Shboan. Um, the other thing I want to

[1:04:09] consider is as we pl as you consider passing this plan tonight, think of

[1:04:14] ahead to the future and what might be required. As I mentioned, there are two

[1:04:18] other elements that will make this marina successful. It is storage and is

[1:04:23] also service. Uh, without those three legs of the stool, no marina is

[1:04:27] successful. And that's what we've missed for the last 30 years here in Shboen.

[1:04:31] I'll give you my own experience because I think this helps dimensionalize why

[1:04:34] these other elements are important. I recently moved my boat from out of the

[1:04:38] state of Wisconsin to here in Shbboan because I wanted to spend more time here

[1:04:42] with my family and use that asset on the water. On an annual basis, I'll spend

[1:04:47] $30,000 servicing this boat, of which $3,000 will be spent here in Shbboen.

[1:04:52] The remaining $27,000 will be spent in Manitwalk County on storage and service

[1:04:58] in the offse. Those are $27,000 I'd rather spend in Shuen County. If you

[1:05:04] take that math and extend it just to 200 slips and you cut the amount of service

[1:05:08] that someone spends on an annual basis, that's another $3 million in revenue

[1:05:13] that we are not getting in Shboen County. And so again, that's not the

[1:05:16] issue tonight, but as you continue to plan forward, think about what it takes

[1:05:20] to make a successful marina. It is the slips that we're talking about tonight,

[1:05:24] but it's also the storage and the service that comes with it. So tonight,

[1:05:27] I encourage you to approve the plan, get the slips and infrastructure right,

[1:05:31] create the kind of onshore and offshore waterfront this community deserves, but

[1:05:36] let's keep going forward to explore what storage and service look like in this

[1:05:40] community. I think when we do all of those things together, we'll not build

[1:05:44] not only a better place for voters, but we'll build a better place for our

[1:05:48] community that's more economically viable in the long term. Thanks for your

[1:05:51] time. >> Thank you, Mr. Cobber.

[1:05:53] All right, that concludes our public forum for this evening. Uh just a few

[1:05:57] notes and announcements on my end. Um the city council requested um uh more

[1:06:04] information regarding uh data centers um and and the city just announced earlier

[1:06:09] today uh about uh several speaking series that we'll be having coming up um

[1:06:16] regarding variety of different topics regarding uh uh um data centers. want to

[1:06:21] reiterate that we do not have a data center planned or proposed. We also have

[1:06:24] a current moratorum uh in place as well. We'll have four sessions on September

[1:06:29] 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th, all at 6 p.m. at Uptown Social. More information

[1:06:35] regarding the speaking series can be found on the city's communication

[1:06:39] platforms and comm and as well as the city's website as well. Also, the other

[1:06:43] week, uh we had a successful, uh block downtown block party. I want to thank uh

[1:06:49] the Department of Public Works, city staff, our friends at the Shabboan JC's,

[1:06:54] all the sponsors, our friends at Three Sheep's Brewing, uh as well as all the

[1:06:57] community car owners that stepped up uh and brought their cars downtown to

[1:07:02] Shbboan and had a wonderful event uh considering the circumstances of us

[1:07:06] having to pivot away from a primary boat focused event uh and making sure we

[1:07:10] still have fun in the community. So, I want to just do some shout outs and

[1:07:12] thanks for those that made that successful. So, those conclude my

[1:07:16] announcements for this evening. Uh we will move on to our consent agenda items

[1:07:21] 14 through 24. Alder Boris,

[1:07:25] » I move to accept and file all reports and adopt all resolutions.

[1:07:29] » Second. >> Moved and seconded. Any discussion on

[1:07:31] any of the items on the consent agenda? Alder Kelly. [snorts]

[1:07:34] » Um just to address some of the items from the public forum. Um, with the

[1:07:39] Marina plan moving forward, uh, do we have public input sessions planned

[1:07:44] already, um, to address the the plan as it develops?

[1:07:49] » You want to take that, >> city administrator?

[1:07:52] » Yes. As as we work through design, um, so I think we had 25 individuals show up

[1:08:00] uh to the last public public [clears throat] input session, so it was

[1:08:03] pretty limited. Um we did hold a number of uh u user group focus groups as well

[1:08:10] to get direct in impact or input. So I believe the plan would be to do

[1:08:14] something very similar as this plan moves into the next stage. Correct me if

[1:08:19] I'm wrong Greg. I believe that was in the contract that we would so there will

[1:08:24] be an opportunity for more public feedback. Um you know it's it's always

[1:08:29] hit or miss or people are available. I mean, you know, we got to try

[1:08:32] coordinating all the groups together. So, um, we're not looking at a series of

[1:08:36] these. We're looking at because this is a multi-layered process. So, um, we're

[1:08:41] not going to hold a whole series like we did when we did the master plan. So,

[1:08:45] this is more each iteration, we'll get feedback. Um, so, you know, if if folks

[1:08:51] can't make it to it, but want to provide feedback, they're more than welcome to

[1:08:54] uh contact my office and we can get that feedback over to Edgewater as well. So,

[1:09:00] » thank you. >> Thank you.

[1:09:01] » Any other discussion on any of the consent agenda items?

[1:09:06] All right. Seeing no more, we'll do a voice vote on this. All those in favor

[1:09:10] of approving the items on the consent agenda, state I.

[1:09:13] » I. >> Any opposed? Hearing none, those items

[1:09:17] are approved.

[1:09:20] Next resolutions. Item 25, resolution number 832627

[1:09:26] by alders Boris and Close authorizing the issuance and sale up to 893,200

[1:09:33] taxable private LSL replacement loan program revenue bonds series 2026A and

[1:09:39] providing other details and covenants with respect there too and approval of

[1:09:43] related financial assistance agreement. Alder Boris,

[1:09:46] » I ask to suspend the rules. I move to adopt the resolution. Any objections to

[1:09:51] adopt or to suspending? Hearing none, can you make the motion

[1:09:56] again? >> I move to adopt resolution.

[1:09:58] » Thank you. >> Second.

[1:09:59] » Moved and seconded. Uh, anyone want to speak on why we're suspending?

[1:10:03] » There you go. >> Okay. I I I got the cues. Yeah. City

[1:10:07] administrator, >> I'm going to Yeah, I probably [laughter]

[1:10:10] will. >> Thank you, Alder Hidman. All three of

[1:10:13] these items, uh, 25, 26, 27, um, all have to do with the clean water fund.

[1:10:21] So, this is this is a request from the, uh, Wisconsin Department of Natural

[1:10:27] Resources through the Shboan Water Utility. Um, you'll recall we've done

[1:10:31] this a number of times over the past couple years in trying to secure and

[1:10:36] procure money for uh citizens to replace u depending on what program they fall

[1:10:43] into and where they live in the city. Um this these loans provide a subsidy um

[1:10:49] anywhere from 100% to I think as low as possibly 50% um some may even go to 25%

[1:10:57] but um depending where they live uh the census track that they're in they

[1:11:02] qualify under various federal programs. This uh all three of these items here

[1:11:06] are essentially um our contribution to approving this and then it goes to um

[1:11:13] the water utility. the water utility uses that to fund. Um, and depending on

[1:11:17] which program they're in, the payback is either an agreement between the water

[1:11:22] utility, the city, um, to to pay it back if there's a a cost. If it's not 100%

[1:11:27] and if it's 100%, then there's just no cost to the citizen at all.

[1:11:33] All right, there's been a motion and second as well as an explanation. Any

[1:11:37] further discussion on this item hearing? None. All those in favor of

[1:11:42] approving item 25 state I >> I

[1:11:48] approved. Next item 26, resolution number 842627
