This budget proposes a discontinuance of ticket sales during the latter half of the year. This is due to upgrading the existing tolling system and the higher costs of using tickets as a form of payment. Capital improvements are scheduled for the bridge including engineering work for the Lift span and auxiliary truss. Additional funding is in place for ongoing welding, sub-structure pier analysis, lighting and some painting. Grant funding will continue to play a vital role for the Port with regard to its capital improvements. This year grants are being considered for the Hook Launch and the newly purchased Hanel Mills site. If these grants are approved, the Hanel Mills site will complete its environmental remediation, and the Hook Launch install recreation amenities. The Marina will include repairs to the Cruise Ship dock and some conceptual design work for the Transient dock. This budget contemplates a waterfront parking analysis, as well as pre-development work for Lot 1. Personnel costs depict a 6.2% increase, mostly due to PERS reform as healthcare decreased dampening the overall increase. Materials and Services depicts an increase of 6.5% primarily due to higher utility costs and professional services related to waterfront planning issues.
