MBYC Elevator/Lift Survey
Survey #1
There are two possible solutions that are under consideration, a vertical platform lift, and a standard people/freight elevator. The vertical platform lift is less expensive ($30K-$60K) but can only be used to transport disabled people and their caregivers. The standard elevator is more expensive ($100K-$150K) but can be used to transport both people and freight.

Comments
Before you make your selections, you should note while the Contingency Reserve Fund has enough money it is our hedge for future issues. There are other club requirements that will compete for our existing contingency funds i.e. replacing our failing concrete tarmac, additional or alternate boat storage, and others. The tarmac repair and boat storage costs are possibly 5 years away or more (given our present understanding of the situation). Cost for annual elevator or lift maintenance will depend on which option we choose but could be significant and may require a dues increase. As project costs increase so will the need to find additional funding. Therefore we are asking, would you in order to have an elevator or lift, be willing to accept an assessment, or would you be willing to make a donation which would be recognized much like when we bought the chairs.
