8A. Resolution for Temporary Boat Storage on Inlet Island
WHEREAS, wintertime boat storage is an important element of the boating industry in the City
of Ithaca, and the recent closure of Johnson's Boat Yard has significantly reduced boat storage
capacity within the City, and
WHEREAS, Finger Lakes Boating Center has been working with New York State Parks to
provide new boat storage space near Treman Marina to make up for the loss of space
resulting from the closure of Johnson's Boat Yard, and
WHEREAS, because there is a need for staging, contingency and overflow boat storage space
during this transitional period, Finger Lakes Boating Center has requested use of the northern
unpaved portion of the City -owned parking lot on Inlet Island to provide such space up to
Memorial Day 2016, and
WHEREAS, the Superintendent of Public Works and Director of Parking have determined that
the unpaved parking area on Inlet Island currently has capacity for temporary boat storage,
and that the request can most easily be accommodated through monthly parking passes for
the number of parking spaces used for boat storage, and
WHEREAS, the Superintendent of Public Works and Director of Parking have issued monthly
parking passes for two of the three unpaved parking bays to Finger Lakes Boating Center from
mid - September through mid - October at a rate equal to $22.64 per parking space, and
recommend that the Board of Public Works allow continued use of this method up to Memorial
Day of 2016, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Board of Public Works hereby allows the Superintendent of Public Works
to continue issuance of monthly parking passes to Finger Lakes Boating Center for the
purpose of temporary boat storage up to Memorial Day 2016, and be it further
RESOLVED, that the temporary boat storage space be limited to the three unpaved parking
bays at the north end of the City -owned parking lot on Inlet Island.

WHEREAS, the Superintendent does not anticipate any conflicts in the near future with public
works uses or needs; and
WHEREAS, the fee schedule and additional terms of the agreement will be set by Board of

RESOLVED, The Board of Public Works will determine a fee structure and additional terms of
the agreement for continued use of the telecom system space in a subsequent meeting; and
be it further
RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works hereby grants Finger Lakes Technology Group
permission to install fiber optic cable and associated splice cases subject to the following:
