Attached is a copy of a letter and a proposed layout made by
the Corps of Engineers for a Small Boat Harbor at the upper end of
Harriet Island. You will note that the letter is addressed to Mr.
Shepard by Colonel Desloge Brown, District Engineer, Corps of Engineers.
I am sending this to you because I understand that this pro-
ject is the result of the conference in 1955 between yourself and
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey. You will note that Colonel Brown states
that the cityts share of the improvement would amount to $63,300.
This amount would be in addition to providing the necessary lands,
grading and surfacing of parking areas, etc.
Mr. Shepard informs me that it was not originally contem-
plated that the cityts share would be as great as is indicated by
Colonel Brown. Possibly you would like to have this matter brought
to the attention of the Council and, if so, I have additional copies
of the letter to Mr. Shepard and the proposed layout for this Small
Boat Harbor which can be used for such distribution.

Dear Mr. Shepard:
rrhe ir:restigations which are being pursued in tail office with re-
spect to the proposed small-boat harbor on the upper end of Harriet IE-
land have now progressed to the point where a draft of the resulting
report is soon to be forwarded to the North Central J;ivision, Chicago,
for initial review. A print shavir-g the present proposed lay-out for
the project is inclosed.
According to ciurrent regulations one -half of the initial cost for
general navigation facilities (in this case the dredging and bank pro-
tection) must be borne by local interests When the _dke-.rcor is to be uaed
solely for recreation purposes. Therefore since these costs are esti-
mated as $126,600, the share for the city mould be $63,3c(). This 1.8 in
addition to the provision of necessary lands, grading and surfacing of
parking areas, and the furnishing of mooring and laixnching facilities
and utilities, the costs of Which are considered to ce sell- liquidating.
"here is inclosed a copy of a sample resolution giving ail the a ;erlis
of local cx)peration which are normally required. It will be noted tYhat
the re6 _cation is merely an indication of intent and does not obligate
the city it this time.
If you should desire any additional Information on the harbor pro -
posal, a representative of this office could meet with yc'i at your "e --
quest. In order to compiete our report it will. be neces y for the
city council to take appropriate action. It would be aopreci€.ted if
the council's action co'.1!..d be obtained at an early date.
