The Culver Town Council members approved the second and third reading of an ordinance that amends the fees for pier slips.
Pier slip fees cover costs of the installation and removal of piers during the peak season, maintenance of the piers, and support projects at the Culver Town Park.
It was announced during an earlier Town Council meeting that a 20 percent increase in pier slip fees is being proposed for 2024. A five percent discount would be applied if paid by January 15, 2024.
Individuals renting pier slips from the Culver Parks and Recreation Department must sign a pier slip agreement annually, provide required documentation, and meet required payment deadlines.
During a public hearing at the last council meeting, Park Superintendent Amber Cowell explained that the increase in fees is to address pier repair.
She stated that C pier sockets will be addressed this fall into the spring of 2024, B pier will be completed in the fall of 2024, and A pier will be addressed after that.
She noted funding has been collected over the last few years to pay for this project. Future funding will address pier panels and other needs as deemed necessary.
