YMCA Funding Dispute and Process Breakdown

None directly — the failed motion would only have authorized feasibility discussions with a report due by November 30.

Symphony Bay path surface and erosion concerns

Gravel is cheaper to maintain than mulch, and the no-plowing condition avoids winter plowing costs, though Fesenmaier seeks a dedicated maintenance line item.

Storm Damage and Veterans Park Playground

The capital improvement plan included roughly $1.2 million toward a multipurpose building at the park.

Future lakefront Capital Improvement Projects

Permanent docks could save roughly $100,000 a year in seasonal install/removal costs; a new pier would be expensive but potentially donor-funded.

Community Survey and Park Fundraising

No city operating dollars required — the foundation raises its own funds, with a small startup cost to get it going.

West End Pier slip waitlist overhaul

Pier options run $822,000 to $1.7 million per end, but slip leases could add roughly $100,000 in annual revenue.

GLAS observatory project on Hillmoor

Mostly funded by donations and grants; the city would likely cover restroom costs and ongoing maintenance.

Hillmoor consultant funding increase

$12,000 increase in the consultant line, from $36,000 to $48,000.

ADA beach access with Mobi mats

Current resident summer beach pass is $3; non-resident day rate is $10.

Declining resident beach attendance

Fewer resident visits mean lower season-pass revenue, which fuels interest in new attractions to draw people back.

Beach Bracelet QR Code Program

No direct city cost identified; the dispute is about which businesses get the advertising benefit.

Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation and Lakefront Plan

Permanent docks could save roughly $100,000 a year in seasonal install/removal costs; a new pier would be expensive but potentially donor-funded.

2026 Community Events and Permits

No cost to the city; the applicant paid a $25 application fee and the event raises money for pediatric cancer research.

Hillmoor Zone 1 Concept Plan

Additional construction costs, if any, are not yet known; one speaker suggested financing them through the upcoming capital budget.

Strategic planning for the library

Library West End ADA Accessibility

Just over $2 million, split between design/engineering and construction.

Peirce Harbor fountain funding

Fountain repair costs have shifted into the city's capital improvement projects.

New Hillmoor Walking Trails

Up to $53,268 in city-side engineering costs, offset by a matched $247,000 state grant for construction.

'Footsteps Through Our History' cemetery plaques

The city plans to set aside funds to begin the garden next year.
