While repairs were able to make the dock safe for the <br />summer season, it was identified a replacement was needed. <br />Staff contacted the Minnesota Department of Natural ResouYces to inquire about the potential of the DNR to <br />provide a new dock as part of our parmership to offer access to the lake. DNR staff indicated theyT did not have <br />funding for any new docks for 2023, however they had several docks no longeY needed in their inventoryr. <br />After inspecting their excess docks, the DNR identified a 5-foot byr 30-foot ADA accessible dock with a wooden <br />surface that was structurally sound and in relatively good condition. The DNR agreed to provide this dock to the <br />cityT for use at Orono Park `vith the cityT to maintain the dock for public use. Some deck boards and bumper rail <br />replacements `vill need to be conducted byT cityT staff prior to installation. <br />Staff recommends entering a MOU with the DNR to replace the Orono Park boat launch dock for continued <br />use of the facilit�r. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Provide continued services to the public in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. <br />Attachments <br />■ Memorandum of Understanding <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A 2a�elcolning co�nlnunity 2a�ith T evolutiona� y and spizzted T esou� cefulness, exceptional <br />se�vice, and coln�nunity engagelnent that encou�ages and ins�iz•es pTo�pe�zty. <br />rowEREo ar <br />�I'1 ���� <br />Update�l• January 2023 <br />
