Stephen L. Hollister City Manager MATTER OF CANCELLING THE BOAT LAUNCH RAMP RELOCATION PROJECT, PROJECT NO. 150-38-246; APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM THE SHORELINE ENTERPRISE FUND; AND AUTHORIZATION TO REFUND THE PROJECT GRANTOR $88,075.26 IF NEEDED SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Consistent with Cal Coast's recommendation, Staff recommends cancelling the Boat Launch Rarnp Relocation Project; appropriating funds from the Shoreline Enterprise Fund; and authorizing the potential refund to the grantor, California Department of Boating & Waterways (DBW), the amount of $88,075.26. BACKGROUND In 2000, as part of the anticipated redevelopment of the former "Boatworks" site at the Marina, there was a need to relocate the boat launch ramp. The DBW awarded a grant to the City for the design and construction of a new boat launch ramp and associated boating facilities. The grant was contingent on the completion of the project and the City maintaining and operating the facility for 20 years. The proposed new boat ramp was to be located on Mulford Point Drive, adjacent to the Marina office near Mulford Point. On completion of the new facility, the existing boat launch ramp would be closed. In 2007, the City decided to utilize a master developer to explore the proposed redevelopment of the Shoreline-Marina area, which includes the current boat launch ramp and proposed location. At that time, the ramp relocation project was placed on hold. In October 2008, a contract was approved with Cal Coast to develop a master plan for future development of the Shoreline- Marina area.
