REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
AND
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
TO: Mayor and City Council and
Redevelopment Agency Chair and Boardmembers
FROM: Ron Molendyk, City Manager
DATE: May 25, 1993
SUBJECT: Boat Launch Acceptance and Consideration of'
Expanding Parking
With the heavy rains this winter, the State Parks public Boat
Launch Facility was rendered inoperable. It is seventeen plus feet
under water.
The newly filled lake created a high level of expectation to open
the lake for use and the local community was anxious to promote the
tourist trade to stimulate the local economy.
With the City Councils interest and direction to promote the lake
and City as a tourist destination, the City staff in cooperation
with the California Department of Parks and Recreation proceeded to
evaluate sites and install a temporary, one to two years, boat
launch facility.
The facility has been installed and in now operable, with great
success.
In fact, with the success of the Boat Launch Facility staff has
evaluated the possibility of grading additional portions of the
parking lot parcel, Lakeshore and Spring, to eliminate the
congestion created with the overflow traffic, traveling from the
launch facility through town to the overflow lot behind the Lake
Community Center.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Boat Launch Facility was funded with a loan from the
Redevelopment Agency to be paid back with the funds, $1.5 million
being transferred to the City with acceptance of the Lake Elsinore
State Parks property.
If we were to expand the temporary parking lot, grading and mag-
chloride for dust, we would be looking at additional estimated
costs of $8,000.
The revenues anticipated to be returned to the City, beginning July
1st with the acceptance of the State Park by the City are $200,000
plus off the Boat Launch Facility (day use plus launching). This
represents only 18,181 boat launches and does not include the other"
facilities.
AGENDA ITEM NO.. j
ECOMMENDATIO2�
It is recommended the Mayor and City Council and Redevelopment
Agency Chair and Boardmembers accept the completion of the Boat
Launch Facility and authorize staff to proceed with the additional
grading and dust control for the balance of the Boat Trailer
Parking Lot, not to exceed $8,000.
