I have told those people who have inquired to put in any place they could find available. The only stipulation was that if a boat arrived after they were in place bearing a current year dock permit decal they would have to move. I've further asked that they not put in until the Friday morning before the event and remain courteous and respectful of others around them. To the best of my knowledge there has been no problems with this policy. I've only had three boat owners ignore my request and put in on Thursday anyway. However, a number of citizens have urged me to capitalize on our riverfront. I have mixed feelings about this issue as.well as little confidence in my ability to develop and manage such a program on my own. It is obvious that Thunder has become such a tremendous event that does far more for our community spirit than the money made from it. On the other hand our hillside east of the Overlook to the Jeff Boat property line is in desperate need of repair. So far I am not encouraged to believe the money will become available to make that repair soon. As a compromise to my own mixed feeling I've decided to test the water with a trial program to see how it will be accepted and if it can work. So far I have two interested individuals; Dale Orem with Heritage Bank ,and Conrad Gerdes with the "Dottle G Cruise Boat" For the purpose of raising additional funds to finance the cost of the erosion abatement project in Area "A" of our riverfront, I am proposing that a section of the shoreline be reserved for corporate party rentals for the 1998 Thunder Over Louisville Event. Five 100' stretches could become available for three days for $500.00 each. The reserved areas will start at the easement line under the Kennedy Bridge and continues upriver for 500 feet. Participants will be allowed to share the expense with other boaters of their choice. Parking passes will be issued and treated the same way parking is allowed for normal seasonal users. Each area will be roped off and signage erected to clearly designate that it is a reserved area for the party named and their guest only.
