Request for Action <br />To <br />Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council <br />10.4 <br />Agenda Section <br />Meeting Date <br />Prepared by <br />Work Session <br />May 6, 2019 <br />Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director <br />Item Description <br />Reviewed by <br />Rivers Edge Commons Park Dock <br />Justin Femrite, Public Works Director <br />Reviewed by <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Action Requested <br />Discuss and provide direction. <br />Background/Discussion <br />City residents Randy Tesdahl and Shannon Tatro have met with city staff to discuss the concept of a <br />dock at Rivers Edge Commons Park. Previous direction from City Council has been to continue looking <br />into feasible design solutions and funding for a potential dock. The newly proposed dock and location is <br />more viable than past concepts previously presented to Council. The new location would be on calmer <br />waters located on city property adjacent to the park directly behind McCoy's Irish Pub. <br />The type of dock proposed is a product called EZ Dock. This type of dock system is installed by the City <br />of Anoka on the Rum and Mississippi Rivers. It is a floating seasonal dock with inter -connecting deck <br />sections that would need to be installed each spring and removed each fall in the Mississippi River. It <br />would be ADA accessible. <br />Randy and Shannon are regular boaters on the Mississippi River and want to approach local businesses <br />for interest to fund the dock. Shannon will attend the work session to discuss his passion for boating and <br />the benefits he feels a dock will bring to downtown Elk River. <br />Financial Impact <br />Design, purchase/construction, site preparation as well as ongoing maintenance, inspection and <br />placement need to be considered. This dock concept alone costs approximately $115,000 and does not <br />include design and site prep. <br />Attachments <br />■ EZ Dock Concept <br />■ Rivers Edge Commons Park Master Plan Concept <br />■ Boundary Survey Area <br />■ Picture of Anoka Dock <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A PehoMing community �a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional P 01 W E H E 8 6 T <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAMIRE1 <br />
