Other Committees, Commissions, & Boards Unfinished Business Request for brainstorming on some fundraising to raise money for any potential future expenses the city might have with the new lake pier, as requested by Alderperson Price. Price explained there was no budget passed for repairs or maintenance or any way to check the usage. There is also no way to stop overuse. He suggested parking meters on the slips similar to Lake Geneva. This might be a useful tool for people to check on parking availability and may lessen traffic in the Bay. Schaefer added that Park and Rec discussed hours and voted to put signage at the pier to specify open hours at the Park. They would like to get some experience with the pier prior to implementing any additional items. Aicher noted that the policy items should be discussed at Lake Welfare Committee and Park and Rec Commission in detail. Aicher also added that some of the items that Price brought up were considered in the budget item for the pier. The ongoing maintenance costs were expected to be minimal. Schaefer added that the proposed pier should be extremely low maintenance. The park maintenance budget is an average of $112,000, so any expected maintenance would be negligible in costs. Hafner added that the construction permit and grant agreement will need to be reviewed to ensure that the City could charge for use.
