Sale of the Port Authority dock
Summary
The Port Authority wants to sell its unused mooring dock, but basic records — builder, construction date, steel thickness, drawings — are missing after 20 years and multiple department handoffs. A 2019 appraisal valued it at $1.675 million, or $1.05 million if dismantled and moved. The board is considering hiring a marine brokerage to market it, with fees tied to the sale.

Impact analysis
Selling the dock could free up a surplus and stop the $24,008.92 in annual rent the Port Authority pays on a facility it isn't using.
Taxpayers benefit if the dock sells at a fair price and the ongoing rent and electric costs stop.
