PORT from page 1A
“Our 23 water and elec-
tric sites bring in about
$4,641 per site per year and
our full-service sites, which
are rented about 52 percent
of the time, generate about
$5,740 per site per year,”
Huntington reported.
These figures were sig-
nificantly greater that the
$2,400 per year generated
by sites with no amenities,
known as dry sites.
The removal of the blue
sheds would mean that the
people and organizations
that are currently renting
the spaces in the buildings
would no longer be paying
fees for those spaces. This
decrease in revenue would
impact the current opera-
tions budget for the port,
but eventually that loss
would be recovered with the
addition of the 16 new rent-
al sites for RVs and trailers.
However, there are some
up-front costs associat-
ed with the demolition of
the buildings, just as there
would be construction and
installation costs associat-
ed with the development of
new campsites.
The final cost for that part
of the project would depend
on the materials used in the
renovation. If gravel is used,
rather that asphalt or con-

crete, the initial costs would
be lower. If the sites were
constructed with no utili-
ties, the associated expens-
es for electrical installation
would be deducted from the
final cost estimates.
Huntington’s report also
showed the costs associat-
ed with the approval of the
project by the city, which
could impact the final cost
of the effort to upgrade the
sites. These costs were un-
clear at this time, but Hun-
tington will clarify the city
costs associated with the site
upgrade and provide an up-
date to the commissioners.
The overall response from
commissioners to Hunting-
ton’s proposal was positive,
as the figures provided by
the port manager supported
the fiscal benefits to enact-
ing the upgrade.
“Based on these num-
bers, we can finance this
ourselves,” said Commis-
sioner Mike Buckwald.
“And if these are the num-
bers, that’s an increase of
$91,000 a year for a cost
of approximately $140,000,
I’m not sure you can go
wrong with that.”
Commissioners ex-
pressed concerns regarding
the timing and the manner
in which the renovation
should take place. Through
the discussion, the major-
ity felt the work should be
done this season if possible,
but certainly by next year
as the budgeting process is
beginning for the next fis-
cal cycle.
There was no final de-
termination made regard-
ing the implementation of
Huntington’s proposal, but
the commissioners gave
direction to finalize his
proposal, including the up-
dated installation and per-
mitting costs from the city,
to present at the next com-
missioners meeting.
