Agency Affected Fund-Effect FY 26 $ FY 27 $ Department of Energy and GF - Cost 51,000 5,000 Environmental Protection Note:
GF=General Fund Municipal Impact:
None Explanation The bill establishes a two-year pilot program for a boat washing station on Gardener Lake.
This is anticipated to result in a cost to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) of $51,000 in FY 26 and $5,000 in FY 27, as there are currently no existing boat washing stations, water or power utilities at the lake.
The FY 26 costs include one-time costs to purchase and install a boat washing station (approximately $50,000) and to post signage ($1,000).
The FY 27 costs include the yearly maintenance ($5,000) to service the boat washing station.
The Out Years There are no outyear costs, since the pilot program is for two years.
