Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT), in consultation
with the Wisconsin Coastal Management Council, administers a Harbor Assistance
Program. Under the program, an eligible applicant may be awarded a grant to
partially reimburse the applicant for expenses incurred in making certain harbor
improvements. Eligible applicants include counties, cities, villages, towns, boards
of harbor commissioners, and, with limitations, owners of a private harbor facility.
DOT may contract public debt (general obligation bonds) to provide grants for harbor
improvements.
This bill requires DOT to award a grant, from general obligation bond proceeds,
of $1,600,000 for the construction of a dockwall in the city of Marinette at the
Waupaca Foundry.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
