New Pump-out
The new pump-out machine which has just been installed at the City Transient Marina is only one of the improvements which will be forthcoming for the City Transient Marina and City Boat Launch. This pump-out was funded in-part with a grant through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Maintenance Plan will be Developed
Over the course of this 2012 summer season and beyond, the new Recreational Facilities Superintendent, the City Manager and Assistant to the City Manager will be working with the Harbor Commission and City Council to ensure proper maintenance and improvements for:
(1) City Transient Marina:
- Internet access for guests
- Electric/ municipal water pedestal upgrades
- Regular schedule for finger pier repainting
- Repaving the parking lot
(2) City Boat Launch:
- Regular schedule for skid pier refurbishment
- Repave the parking lot
Interested persons are invited to attend Harbor Commission meetings to see this maintenance plan get developed. The Harbor Commission ordinarily meets the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM at City Hall. Please check the City Calender for confirmation.
Fish Cleaning Station
In addition to these City improvements, the City is working collaboratively with the Michiana Steelheaders for a new combined fish cleaning-restroom facility. This fish cleaning station will have a new sanitary sewer forcemain, grinders, and other features to negate smell, keeping the facility clean and enjoyable for everyone. This proposed facility is the design phase and it must pass review by the Galien River Sanitary District Sewer Authority, Harbor Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council. This proposed facility would be funded by the Michiana Steelheaders.
