GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users The Iron Ranger has been installed in the Great Salt Lake Marina parking lot. For those that do not know what an Iron Ranger is, it is a self-serve fee center. Please read this whole notice prior to sending hate mail back to me or State Parks. I'm hoping you will be satisfied with our policy for the short term. Four years ago State Parks authorized the Great Salt Lake State Marina to be a fee park. The reason for this was not a revenue issue but a security issue. If we are a "fee Park" a trespasser with dishonorable intentions would face a much more severe crime than if we did not have a fee station. The goal is to add another level of security to protect your boats and assets out here. If you are a slip renter or dry storage renter with a current contract and are reasonably caught up on your rent, you are covered and are not subject to the fee. Your slip rent covers access to the park. If you are a current member or student of one of the sculling clubs or schools who rent space in the marina, you are covered at this time. Yo do not need to pay. If you are a crew member or invited guest of a boat renter who has a valid lease in the marina, you are covered at this time. You do not need to pay. If you are attending a function of "Island Serenade" or Salt Island Adventures, you do not need to pay. Your fee to them covers you. Please park at the north end of the parking lot near their building. If you are an employee of "Salt Island Adventures" you do not need to pay. Please park in the area leased to Salt Island Adventures. If you have a year round pass from STATE PARKS (National Parks Passes are not covered here), then you do not need to pay. Your pass covers access to this park. If you are NOT listed in the above group then you need to pay. This covers tourists, people with vessels that are launching for the day, buses (except for Waterford, Utah Crew), etc. The daily entrance fee is $2.00 per passenger vehicle. As far as enforcement action, we do not intend to check every car for compliance. We may randomly ask for proof of payment if we see suspicious or questionable activity. If you are not covered by one of the groups above and have not paid, we will simply ask that you go back to the fee station and pay the fee. For the 2008 season, we are finalizing all the details of the policy so that it is consistent with State Parks and also meets the needs of the users of the marina. For the Slip/Dry Storage Renters: When we send out the contract renewals in November, there will be a descripton of the policy regarding your vehicles, your crew vehicles and guest vehicles. When you send in your contracts we will send you a new code to the marina gate, a new key to the docks and a number of small stickers to place on your vehicles for identification. At this time we intend to send enough stickers to cover you and a reasonable amount of crew vehicles. For The Sculling Clubs and Schools: We are working out the kinks in the policy to accomodate the members, coaches and students. We will consult with you personally in the near future. For Island Serenade, their guests and employees. Again, we are working out the kinks and will consult with you directly Again, This is not a revenue issue as much as it is a security issue for our marina users. Our goal is to accomodate you, your guests, members and crew in a consistent and positive manner for the Great Salt Lake Community. Thank You Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina
