Council approves Harbor Assistance grant application and Frasier Shipyards agreements

The Common Council on Jan. 20 approved two harbor-related resolutions: one to submit the elevator and dock-wall rehabilitation project for Harbor Assistance Grant funding with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and a separate resolution approving execution of a development agreement, grant agreement and lease agreement in connection with Frasier Shipyards.

For the elevator/dock-wall project, the council moved and approved a resolution to pursue Harbor Assistance Grant funding through WisDOT; the motion carried by voice vote. The transcript records the agenda caption and a voice vote but does not state application details, engineering estimates or matching-fund amounts during the meeting.

The council also approved a resolution authorizing execution of a development agreement, grant agreement and lease agreement related to Frasier Shipyards. The transcript shows the council moved and seconded approval and recorded a voice vote of "Aye" with the motion carried. The item caption in the meeting agenda identifies a development agreement, grant agreement and lease agreement but the meeting transcript does not include the full terms, dollar amounts or schedule for those agreements.

Both items were approved by voice vote; the council did not request additional information on the floor. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or detailed terms; staff follow-up or the full agreements would be the next source for precise financial and scheduling details.
