WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.000 You 00:30.000 --> 00:32.000 You 01:00.000 --> 01:29.000 Yes, there we go. So as far as the month like through the end of July, we were kind of down still and didn't quite hit budget on 01:29.000 --> 01:37.000 the daily launches. We have hit that now. August has been really good for us. So. 01:37.000 --> 01:48.000 But yeah, all these numbers, just because this is almost to the end of August already. So pretty much our daily launches season launches transient rates. 01:48.000 --> 01:55.000 All that stuff has already hit the budget numbers for for that. 01:55.000 --> 01:59.000 Um. 01:59.000 --> 02:12.000 Ice is just about to budget already. So I think we're looking pretty good. So these numbers are kind of just because they're almost a month old already kind of. 02:12.000 --> 02:21.000 So if anybody has any questions, but as of right now we're looking pretty good. 02:21.000 --> 02:28.000 We have some issues. 02:28.000 --> 02:33.000 Race. 02:33.000 --> 02:50.000 First of all, let's look at the. 02:50.000 --> 02:58.000 Well, you know, we're back up to the same idea every year, what we want to do. 02:58.000 --> 03:02.000 The current rate for inflation is 3.4. 03:02.000 --> 03:16.000 So by asking for 3%, we're not even keeping up with the average of the country's rate. So that's what we're recommending. Stay the same. 03:16.000 --> 03:19.000 It's up to you to approve that. 03:19.000 --> 03:25.000 Our costs also going up at the same. Everything's going up. Everything is up. 03:25.000 --> 03:28.000 I guess that's true, isn't it? Everything is. And we will not. 03:28.000 --> 03:31.000 We'll probably still be behind a little bit, but. 03:31.000 --> 03:34.000 You know how high is high. 03:34.000 --> 03:40.000 We can go higher, but I don't think we need to. 03:40.000 --> 03:43.000 How is there only because they don't want to go ahead. 03:43.000 --> 03:47.000 I've said everybody, everybody wants to go lower, but it's a good recommendation. 03:47.000 --> 03:50.000 How is our waiting list looking like? I'm sorry. 03:50.000 --> 03:52.000 How is our waiting list looking like? 03:52.000 --> 03:55.000 The waiting list is healthy again this year. 03:55.000 --> 03:59.000 There's still a bunch of people on the waiting list that haven't had, haven't purchased both. 03:59.000 --> 04:05.000 So these are previous, not from this year. This year we had, I think, about 30 people go on the list. 04:06.000 --> 04:11.000 So I mean, people are waiting list continues to grow with the issues and. 04:11.000 --> 04:17.000 And stuff like that. So I mean, we're pretty fortunate that we are getting a lot of people from there. 04:17.000 --> 04:23.000 And just people that are starting to get into voting. So currently it's pretty healthy. 04:23.000 --> 04:27.000 Good. Our city administrator is still looking for a slip. 04:27.000 --> 04:30.000 Can't find one. 04:30.000 --> 04:36.000 It's on your sheet. 04:36.000 --> 04:38.000 I'm 36. 04:38.000 --> 04:39.000 Yep. 04:39.000 --> 04:44.000 So is that 3082 with tax? 04:44.000 --> 04:46.000 That's an increase of how much? 04:46.000 --> 04:47.000 3%. 04:47.000 --> 04:49.000 I don't know how much it was 29. 04:49.000 --> 04:51.000 It was 29.93 before. 04:51.000 --> 04:53.000 Oh, that isn't that much. 04:53.000 --> 04:54.000 No. 04:54.000 --> 04:55.000 Yeah. 04:56.000 --> 05:04.000 Well, we'll, we'll take that up. 05:04.000 --> 05:09.000 You did provide us with, you know, the comparisons with the nearby marinas, which is important. 05:09.000 --> 05:14.000 We want to stay, you know, within. 05:15.000 --> 05:17.000 Right. 05:17.000 --> 05:25.000 And I think you pointed out, and I agree that I think we have more to offer than a lot of the other arenas. 05:25.000 --> 05:34.000 But we still are in within reason. We're pretty close, you know, higher, a little on some lower, a little on others correct. 05:34.000 --> 05:35.000 Yes. 05:35.000 --> 05:41.000 Do you feel like we are positioned pretty well with that context of these other marinas? 05:42.000 --> 05:44.000 The difference is not that much. 05:44.000 --> 05:45.000 Okay. 05:45.000 --> 05:47.000 And most marinas. 05:47.000 --> 05:50.000 Do we know they're going to raise their rates? 05:50.000 --> 05:52.000 Have you heard anything about that? 05:52.000 --> 05:56.000 I think right now the rates that you see for Racine are holding during construction. 05:56.000 --> 06:02.000 So those, as far as like what their website says, those rates will be holding currently. 06:02.000 --> 06:06.000 I don't know that for sure, but that's just what their website says. 06:06.000 --> 06:09.000 So, and their construction is still a couple more years. 06:10.000 --> 06:13.000 I'm assuming it's because of inconvenience for everybody. 06:13.000 --> 06:19.000 Sheboygan, I have no idea what their rates are. Their rates are still 2025. They have nothing posted. 06:19.000 --> 06:25.000 I'm assuming they're nothing great because I don't know what their rates are up there. 06:25.000 --> 06:35.000 So we have their 2025 rates on here, which were less than ours because they dropped all their rates due to the fact that they have less amenities. 06:36.000 --> 06:40.000 They could still be raising rates theoretically from these numbers. 06:40.000 --> 06:41.000 Yes. 06:41.000 --> 06:44.000 Yes. These are all either 2025 or 2026. 06:44.000 --> 06:47.000 Yeah. 06:47.000 --> 06:50.000 Yeah. 06:50.000 --> 06:51.000 Yeah. 06:51.000 --> 06:57.000 I saw Sheboygan had a plan for restructuring the marina, which looks pretty ambitious and pretty expensive. 06:57.000 --> 07:02.000 So I'm not sure if that's something that's actually happening or just the concept they're going to think about. 07:03.000 --> 07:05.000 I haven't seen that. 07:05.000 --> 07:08.000 I have data on their website. Yeah. 07:08.000 --> 07:15.000 They're tearing down half their buildings and rebuilding them in different spots and then restructuring the marina. 07:15.000 --> 07:21.000 So it basically has two main peers and a bunch of and then the peers branch off the two main ones. 07:21.000 --> 07:22.000 Wow. 07:22.000 --> 07:24.000 And then we'll take a drive up. 07:24.000 --> 07:31.000 Interesting. 07:32.000 --> 07:34.000 Yeah. 07:34.000 --> 07:43.000 I think it was on like it was on a Sheboygan Facebook page that said you should bring a Facebook page. 07:43.000 --> 07:46.000 It might have been. 07:46.000 --> 07:54.000 And in the balance sheet, there is slip rentals main and north slip rentals with this effect both. 07:54.000 --> 07:57.000 And then what is the difference between those? 07:58.000 --> 08:03.000 The slip rentals north and then slip rentals main. 08:03.000 --> 08:04.000 I see here. 08:04.000 --> 08:10.000 The slip rentals for the main marina are the slip rentals for the north slip are charters. 08:10.000 --> 08:13.000 So they have an extra $200 fee. 08:13.000 --> 08:14.000 Okay. 08:14.000 --> 08:19.000 So in here, the slip rentals north slip rentals is charters. 08:19.000 --> 08:21.000 Are you talking about the budget or? 08:21.000 --> 08:22.000 Yeah. 08:22.000 --> 08:23.000 Yeah. 08:23.000 --> 08:24.000 Sorry. 08:24.000 --> 08:25.000 I'm just trying to clarification the budget. 08:25.000 --> 08:26.000 Yes. 08:26.000 --> 08:29.000 So the slip rentals are anything in the north slip. 08:29.000 --> 08:31.000 So anybody who is tied up on the north side of the channel. 08:31.000 --> 08:32.000 Okay. 08:32.000 --> 08:33.000 All the way into the north slip. 08:33.000 --> 08:35.000 So charters, anybody that would be on the wall. 08:35.000 --> 08:36.000 That's a permanent tenant. 08:36.000 --> 08:37.000 Okay. 08:37.000 --> 08:38.000 We only have one of those now. 08:38.000 --> 08:40.000 We moved everybody else inside. 08:40.000 --> 08:43.000 And then main marina is everybody in the main marina. 08:43.000 --> 08:44.000 Okay. 08:44.000 --> 08:45.000 Thank you. 08:45.000 --> 08:46.000 Yep. 08:46.000 --> 08:49.000 Sue, did you want to expand on your idea? 08:50.000 --> 08:54.000 Oh, the 4% with the year. 08:54.000 --> 09:02.000 My God, my God. 09:02.000 --> 09:06.000 I think we should raise raise it by to 4%. 09:06.000 --> 09:08.000 It's not that much more. 09:08.000 --> 09:10.000 We have a waiting list. 09:10.000 --> 09:12.000 We have a healthy marina. 09:12.000 --> 09:14.000 It's not that much money. 09:15.000 --> 09:21.000 And then would this money then go to the renovation project for 2027 or 28? 09:21.000 --> 09:25.000 Whenever that was discussed, or how does that work for us? 09:25.000 --> 09:30.000 Well, I'm thinking that raises just to keep operation monies close. 09:30.000 --> 09:31.000 Okay. 09:31.000 --> 09:33.000 And if we make a profit, it goes into our reserve fund. 09:33.000 --> 09:34.000 Yeah. 09:34.000 --> 09:41.000 Anything that would be for projects would be either comes out of our reserve monies or borrowed money. 09:41.000 --> 09:42.000 Okay. 09:43.000 --> 09:47.000 Anybody else feel it should go to four? 09:47.000 --> 10:01.000 Yeah, for, you know, inflation's been over 3% this year between three and roughly four. 10:01.000 --> 10:05.000 So, you know, it probably keeps up with expenses a little better that way. 10:05.000 --> 10:07.000 I don't remember what we raised it last year, though. 10:07.000 --> 10:08.000 2%. 10:09.000 --> 10:10.000 Okay. 10:10.000 --> 10:13.000 So we were, we were well below inflation last year then. 10:13.000 --> 10:14.000 Yes. 10:14.000 --> 10:15.000 Okay. 10:15.000 --> 10:22.000 So, so 4 probably keeps us pretty much on pace with where we would have been if we just followed inflation last year too. 10:22.000 --> 10:26.000 We were probably actually a little bit behind that yet. 10:26.000 --> 10:31.000 I'm, I'm in favor of whatever the board was. 10:31.000 --> 10:34.000 Um, so it looks like we have three. 10:34.000 --> 10:36.000 What do you feel? 10:36.000 --> 10:50.000 Yeah, I think, you know, if with a healthy waiting list and more voters just trying to get into the activity and the maintenance and ongoing costs of wages for our dock hands, I think it would be pretty smart to do. 10:50.000 --> 10:51.000 Sue, when we can make your motion. 10:51.000 --> 10:52.000 Okay. 10:52.000 --> 10:54.000 Make a motion to raise. 10:54.000 --> 10:56.000 The marina slip. 10:56.000 --> 11:00.000 The marina slip fees to 4%. 11:00.000 --> 11:01.000 Okay. 11:01.000 --> 11:04.000 Any further discussion? 11:04.000 --> 11:06.000 All in favor say aye. 11:06.000 --> 11:07.000 Aye. 11:07.000 --> 11:08.000 Opposed? 11:08.000 --> 11:09.000 Say no. 11:09.000 --> 11:10.000 Motion carry. 11:10.000 --> 11:16.000 Uh, next we have the, uh, transient rates. 11:16.000 --> 11:19.000 And what are we thinking there? 11:19.000 --> 11:24.000 Well, that one we're asking to raise it. 11:24.000 --> 11:27.000 To the $2. 11:27.000 --> 11:33.000 To $2 of square foot rather than a dollar and. 11:33.000 --> 11:36.000 96 cents. 11:36.000 --> 11:38.000 That's kind of a no brainer. 11:38.000 --> 11:39.000 We can do that. 11:39.000 --> 11:40.000 Yeah. 11:40.000 --> 11:43.000 I mean, we are higher than most people. 11:43.000 --> 11:45.000 I mean, minus Milwaukee. 11:45.000 --> 11:48.000 And Milwaukee's got their weirdo way of doing things down there. 11:48.000 --> 11:50.000 So they don't even post it online. 11:50.000 --> 11:53.000 But as of last year, like our rates were. 11:54.000 --> 11:56.000 Pretty much even with theirs. 11:56.000 --> 11:59.000 Or they were a little bit higher in certain areas and we were a little bit higher in others. 11:59.000 --> 12:03.000 But for the most part, Milwaukee's higher than us. 12:03.000 --> 12:07.000 However, we're significantly less than Chibwegan. 12:07.000 --> 12:10.000 I think Racine's like a dollar 85. 12:10.000 --> 12:15.000 But like our weekly rates are cheaper than Racine's. 12:15.000 --> 12:17.000 So our daily rate is 15 cents more. 12:17.000 --> 12:21.000 If we go to the $2, but the, the weekly rate is. 12:22.000 --> 12:23.000 A little bit better for us. 12:23.000 --> 12:24.000 Nice. 12:24.000 --> 12:25.000 Even number two. 12:25.000 --> 12:26.000 Easy to manage. 12:26.000 --> 12:27.000 Correct. 12:27.000 --> 12:34.000 So how do our transient rates or our rates are trans, 12:34.000 --> 12:38.000 member of transient visitors comparing this year to previous years? 12:38.000 --> 12:45.000 I would say we were, we're like June, we were down. 12:45.000 --> 12:50.000 Like last year, May was like really significant for us because the coal fishing was great. 12:50.000 --> 12:54.000 So we had so many trailer boats staying by us in slips and spraying. 12:54.000 --> 12:56.000 It was ridiculous. 12:56.000 --> 13:00.000 But with the coal fishing only lasting a couple weeks this year, we kind of didn't have that 13:00.000 --> 13:01.000 traffic. 13:01.000 --> 13:06.200 But let month of July and August were last year, we lost a lot of our big groups coming 13:06.200 --> 13:11.000 from Michigan or other places because of weather and waves. 13:11.000 --> 13:13.000 That has not really been an issue for us this year. 13:13.000 --> 13:16.000 So we've definitely gained. 13:17.000 --> 13:20.000 So I would say that we're probably about the same as to where we were last year. 13:20.000 --> 13:21.000 Yeah. 13:21.000 --> 13:26.000 The numbers are the same as far as the budget is concerned. 13:26.000 --> 13:28.000 We're about $73,000. 13:28.000 --> 13:32.000 Pretty much the same as last year at this time. 13:32.000 --> 13:41.000 So we should go over that between now and the end of the season. 13:42.000 --> 13:46.000 We don't want to discourage people from coming because that's the feed into the city for, 13:46.000 --> 13:50.000 you know, economic impact with all the restaurants and shops and business. 13:50.000 --> 13:52.000 You want to keep those people coming. 13:52.000 --> 13:57.000 It's nice to see the big boats in the, in the north slip when it's full. 13:57.000 --> 14:02.000 We do any discounts for any groups like boat us or. 14:02.000 --> 14:05.000 No, we haven't been. 14:05.000 --> 14:09.000 We never did in the 20, 30 years. 14:10.000 --> 14:12.000 And they still keep coming and still keep. 14:12.000 --> 14:14.000 Yeah, no need. 14:14.000 --> 14:19.000 They like Port Washington because of our, you know, our location with. 14:19.000 --> 14:23.000 Downtown being right in the front door. 14:23.000 --> 14:27.000 And we get nothing but compliments from the people that. 14:27.000 --> 14:32.000 Fortunately, we have a great staff. 14:32.000 --> 14:38.000 Does anybody have any questions or issues with that suggestion for $2?
