The City is also guided by the Marina Master Plan, which proposes several concepts for the future expansion and development of the marina itself. The current facility sees tremendous pressure during peak season, and this funding will be used to formulate a plan to ease capacity pressure by installing a second boat launch on the southeast side of the marina, outside the breakwater, near the proposed floating dock system. Boat launch expansion design ($50,000) – Seed money for concept development, planning and design work for an expansion of the boat launch.Information on rental applications will be made available in the coming weeks.

Construction is currently underway and the facility will be operational for summer 2021. Non-motorized watercraft storage facility ($35,000) – capable of housing kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards and other similar items at the marina.Floating dock system ($75,000) – similar to the floating dock installed at Kinosoo Beach in 2020, a second dock will be installed on the southeast side of the marina.Boardwalk rehabilitation ($75,000) – replacement of several deteriorating sections of wood along the pedestrian walkway on the south side of the marina.In addition to allocating the commercial boat slips, City Council also committed funding and seed money to several marina-based projects in the 2021 capital budget.
