A. COW2025-069 Discussion regarding Riverview Dock Repair / Replacement
Kirstin Robinson, Deputy City Administrator / CFO, provided the following information:
• Paul Osburn, Deputy Public Works Director, and Richard Garland, Community
Services Administrator, have been working with an on-call engineer to get the dock
repaired.
• It was recommended that the dock be raised to be even with the trail.
• They hope to have something back to Mayor and Council in a few weeks.
• To repair as-is would cost around $50K. To repair and raise may cost around
$100K-$200K, but it will be a long-term fix.
• This will make it ADA compliant as well.
