Thank you for that. So I can certainly go through what I have as far as detail on the background of this project for the Member. So as I said, the last extensive renovation was in 2017. That involved removing and replacing 43 boat slip sections and adjoining floating structures. Engineered design called for concrete anchors which do not provide enough anchoring support for the size and location of the structure. This has resulted in damage to the dock structure, additional anchoring weights being added, and many hours of maintenance to adjust the chains at the beginning of the boating season and throughout the year due to fluctuation in water levels. ITI has limited the size of vessels able to park at the marina to keep the dock weight manageable and safe; however, it hasn't been enough to secure the structure and mitigate the risk of movement during weather events. Maintenance on the dock to adjust chain lengths requires staff to be hunched over for long periods of time handing heavy weights with chain operating from a boat and around water putting maintenance staff at an unnecessary risk of injury. So as a result, we're looking to improve the dock's current structure so that staff won't have to be put in this type of unsafe conditions, and we can also ensure that we are putting a dock in place that is more essentially self-sufficient. Thank you.
