Volunteer: Watercraft Storage Monitor - Merrill Springs ParkTwice a month from April through September, you will conduct an audit of the watercraft storage racks at your assigned location. The purpose of the audit is to inform the Parks Administrative staff of any potential issues so they can, as needed, address them quicky before they become major problems. Your reports on what you see at the racks will be of great help and is much appreciated! You will be provided with an audit sheet that will list the space numbers and the permit numbers/description of the watercraft assigned to those spaces. Look at each space for the following, and if at all possible, please take pictures of any issues: 1. The permit sticker is attached to the watercraft and easily visible. Tarps should not be obstructing the view of the sticker, and the sticker should be firmly stuck on the watercraft. Document if there is any obstruction to viewing the sticker, if the sticker is not on the boat at all, or if it is torn or not well attached. 2. The permit sticker number matches the number assigned to that space. Document if the number on the permit is different from the number assigned to the space. 3. There are no additional, unpermitted watercraft in the space. If a space is allowed to have two watercrafts the audit sheet will note both permit numbers and the boat descriptions. Document any watercraft on the racks not reflected in the sheet. 4. The boat description reasonably matches the description assigned to that space. Only document glaring differences. For example, if the description on your audit sheet says it is a red kayak, but it looks orange or yellow, that is ok, but if it is a silver aluminum canoe, then document that. You do not need to verify if the brand is accurate. 5. The watercraft(s) fully fit into the space without infringing on the spaces around it. No watercraft should be more than 18ft long. Width and height wise, all permitted watercrafts should fit within the space without extending into the spaces above, below or next to it. You do not need to measure and get exact dimensions, but if a boat seems overly long/tall/wide or is impeding other spaces or people’s ability to get to their spaces, document this. 6. No other objects are stored in or near the racks. Document any other objects or items being stored on, near, or under the racks. 7. Please document any other issues you see at your location. Some examples of this might include (but not limited to): condition of the racks, conditions of the ground (tall weeds/grass, holes, bees or wasps), and any watercrafts on the ground. However, if you see any suspicious activity or hazards that warrant immediate attention, please contact the Rangers right away (608 235-0448). 8. Blank entries/empty spaces. If a line on your audit sheet is left blank, then it has not been assigned and that space on the rack should be empty, so document if anything is in that space and take a picture if you can. If there is a permit number assigned on your sheet but the space on the rack is empty, then just make a quick note that the space was empty, no need for pictures. When taking pictures, as much as possible try to get a picture of the permit number (if there is one) and the space number. Furthermore, please keep in mind that you should not physically interact with the watercrafts as this could cause a liability issue. If a watercraft is covered by a tarp, for example, do not lift or remove the tarp to see the sticker, just document that a tarp is blocking view of the watercraft and take a picture if possible. If, especially after a storm, you notice permitted watercrafts blown off of the racks or in disarray, simply document and take pictures and send them to watercraft storage staff and we will reach out to the owners as soon as possible. Once you have completed your audit, email it and any pictures to: watercraftstorage@cityofmadison.com. We value your feedback as well, so if you have any questions/comments/suggestions on this process, please feel free to include that in your emails.

Some examples of this might include (but not limited to): condition of the racks, conditions of the ground (tall weeds/grass, holes, bees or wasps), and any watercrafts on the ground. However, if you see any suspicious activity or hazards that warrant immediate attention, please contact the Rangers right away (608 235-0448). 8. Blank entries/empty spaces. If a line on your audit sheet is left blank, then it has not been assigned and that space on the rack should be empty, so document if anything is in that space and take a picture if you can. If there is a permit number assigned on your sheet but the space on the rack is empty, then just make a quick note that the space was empty, no need for pictures. When taking pictures, as much as possible try to get a picture of the permit number (if there is one) and the space number. Furthermore, please keep in mind that you should not physically interact with the watercrafts as this could cause a liability issue. If a watercraft is covered by a tarp, for example, do not lift or remove the tarp to see the sticker, just document that a tarp is blocking view of the watercraft and take a picture if possible. If, especially after a storm, you notice permitted watercrafts blown off of the racks or in disarray, simply document and take pictures and send them to watercraft storage staff and we will reach out to the owners as soon as possible. Once you have completed your audit, email it and any pictures to: watercraftstorage@cityofmadison.com. We value your feedback as well, so if you have any questions/comments/suggestions on this process, please feel free to include that in your emails. Marshall (2101 Allen Blvd): 15 standard racks, 90 spaces total. Parking Lot available but note that long stalls are for vehicles with trailers only. The first 5 racks (spaces 1-30) are for the mooring dinghies and should not be audited. Therefore, you should only look at 10 of the racks (60 spaces), space numbers 31-90. See diagram below; the spaces in gray are the mooring spaces so those are the ones you can ignore. Program: Community Programs and Leadership Twice a month from April through September, you will conduct an audit of the watercraft storage racks at your assigned location. The purpose of the audit is to inform the Parks Administrative staff of any potential issues so they can, as needed, address them quickly before they become major problems. Your reports on what you see at the racks will be of great help and is much appreciated! You will be provided with an audit sheet that will list the space numbers and the permit numbers/description of the watercraft assigned to those spaces. Look at each space for the following, and if at all possible, please take pictures of any issues: 1. The permit sticker is attached to the watercraft and easily visible. Tarps should not be obstructing the view of the sticker, and the sticker should be firmly stuck on the watercraft. Document if there is any obstruction to viewing the sticker, if the sticker is not on the boat at all, or if it is torn or not well attached. 2. The permit sticker number matches the number assigned to that space. Document if the number on the permit is different from the number assigned to the space. 3. There are no additional, unpermitted watercraft in the space. If a space is allowed to have two watercrafts the audit sheet will note both permit numbers and the boat descriptions. Document any watercraft on the racks not reflected in the sheet. 4. The boat description reasonably matches the description assigned to that space. Only document glaring differences. For example, if the description on your audit sheet says it is a red kayak, but it looks orange or yellow, that is ok, but if it is a silver aluminum canoe, then document that. You do not need to verify if the brand is accurate. 5. The watercraft(s) fully fit into the space without infringing on the spaces around it. No watercraft should be more than 18ft long. Width and height wise, all permitted watercrafts should fit within the space without extending into the spaces above, below or next to it. You do not need to measure and get exact dimensions, but if a boat seems overly long/tall/wide or is impeding other spaces or people’s ability to get to their spaces, document this. 6. No other objects are stored in or near the racks. Document any other objects or items being stored on, near, or under the racks. 7. Please document any other issues you see at your location.

Some examples of this might include (but not limited to): condition of the racks, conditions of the ground (tall weeds/grass, holes, bees or wasps), and any watercrafts on the ground. However, if you see any suspicious activity or hazards that warrant immediate attention, please contact the Rangers right away (608 235-0448). 8. Blank entries/empty spaces. If a line on your audit sheet is left blank, then it has not been assigned and that space on the rack should be empty, so document if anything is in that space and take a picture if you can. If there is a permit number assigned on your sheet but the space on the rack is empty, then just make a quick note that the space was empty, no need for pictures. When taking pictures, as much as possible try to get a picture of the permit number (if there is one) and the space number. Furthermore, please keep in mind that you should not physically interact with the watercrafts as this could cause a liability issue. If a watercraft is covered by a tarp, for example, do not lift or remove the tarp to see the sticker, just document that a tarp is blocking view of the watercraft and take a picture if possible. If, especially after a storm, you notice permitted watercrafts blown off of the racks or in disarray, simply document and take pictures and send them to watercraft storage staff and we will reach out to the owners as soon as possible. Once you have completed your audit, email it and any pictures to: watercraftstorage@cityofmadison.com. We value your feedback as well, so if you have any questions/comments/suggestions on this process, please feel free to include that in your emails. Cherokee Marsh South (5002 School Rd): 3 standard racks, 18 spaces in total. Parking Lot available. One of the racks is oriented lengthwise and the racks are not in order, so be sure to pay attention to the space numbers. See diagram below. Program: Community Programs and Leadership Twice a month from April through September, you will conduct an audit of the watercraft storage racks at your assigned location. The purpose of the audit is to inform the Parks Administrative staff of any potential issues so they can, as needed, address them quickly before they become major problems. Your reports on what you see at the racks will be of great help and is much appreciated! You will be provided with an audit sheet that will list the space numbers and the permit numbers/description of the watercraft assigned to those spaces. Look at each space for the following, and if at all possible, please take pictures of any issues: 1. The permit sticker is attached to the watercraft and easily visible. Tarps should not be obstructing the view of the sticker, and the sticker should be firmly stuck on the watercraft. Document if there is any obstruction to viewing the sticker, if the sticker is not on the boat at all, or if it is torn or not well attached. 2. The permit sticker number matches the number assigned to that space. Document if the number on the permit is different from the number assigned to the space. 3. There are no additional, unpermitted watercraft in the space. If a space is allowed to have two watercrafts the audit sheet will note both permit numbers and the boat descriptions. Document any watercraft on the racks not reflected in the sheet. 4. The boat description reasonably matches the description assigned to that space. Only document glaring differences. For example, if the description on your audit sheet says it is a red kayak, but it looks orange or yellow, that is ok, but if it is a silver aluminum canoe, then document that. You do not need to verify if the brand is accurate. 5. The watercraft(s) fully fit into the space without infringing on the spaces around it. No watercraft should be more than 18ft long. Width and height wise, all permitted watercrafts should fit within the space without extending into the spaces above, below or next to it. You do not need to measure and get exact dimensions, but if a boat seems overly long/tall/wide or is impeding other spaces or people’s ability to get to their spaces, document this. 6.

If, especially after a storm, you notice permitted watercrafts blown off of the racks or in disarray, simply document and take pictures and send them to watercraft storage staff and we will reach out to the owners as soon as possible.

We value your feedback as well, so if you have any questions/comments/suggestions on this process, please feel free to include that in your emails. Vilas (1501 Vilas Park Dr): 4 standard racks, 24 spaces in total. Parking Lot available across the street but be aware it has a 3-hour time limit. Street parking is also available, but all street parking on Vilas Park Dr has a 2-hour limit as well. The rack spaces are not in order so be sure to pay attention to the space numbers. See diagram below. Program: Community Programs and Leadership Twice a month from April through September, you will conduct an audit of the watercraft storage racks at your assigned location. The purpose of the audit is to inform the Parks Administrative staff of any potential issues so they can, as needed, address them quickly before they become major problems. Your reports on what you see at the racks will be of great help and is much appreciated! You will be provided with an audit sheet that will list the space numbers and the permit numbers/description of the watercraft assigned to those spaces. Look at each space for the following, and if at all possible, please take pictures of any issues: 1. The permit sticker is attached to the watercraft and easily visible. Tarps should not be obstructing the view of the sticker, and the sticker should be firmly stuck on the watercraft. Document if there is any obstruction to viewing the sticker, if the sticker is not on the boat at all, or if it is torn or not well attached. 2. The permit sticker number matches the number assigned to that space. Document if the number on the permit is different from the number assigned to the space. 3. There are no additional, unpermitted watercraft in the space. If a space is allowed to have two watercrafts the audit sheet will note both permit numbers and the boat descriptions. Document any watercraft on the racks not reflected in the sheet. 4. The boat description reasonably matches the description assigned to that space. Only document glaring differences. For example, if the description on your audit sheet says it is a red kayak, but it looks orange or yellow, that is ok, but if it is a silver aluminum canoe, then document that. You do not need to verify if the brand is accurate. 5. The watercraft(s) fully fit into the space without infringing on the spaces around it. No watercraft should be more than 18ft long. Width and height wise, all permitted watercrafts should fit within the space without extending into the spaces above, below or next to it. You do not need to measure and get exact dimensions, but if a boat seems overly long/tall/wide or is impeding other spaces or people’s ability to get to their spaces, document this. 6. No other objects are stored in or near the racks. Document any other objects or items being stored on, near, or under the racks. 7. Please document any other issues you see at your location. Some examples of this might include (but not limited to): condition of the racks, conditions of the ground (tall weeds/grass, holes, bees or wasps), and any watercrafts on the ground. However, if you see any suspicious activity or hazards that warrant immediate attention, please contact the Rangers right away (608 235-0448). 8. Blank entries/empty spaces. If a line on your audit sheet is left blank, then it has not been assigned and that space on the rack should be empty, so document if anything is in that space and take a picture if you can. If there is a permit number assigned on your sheet but the space on the rack is empty, then just make a quick note that the space was empty, no need for pictures. When taking pictures, as much as possible try to get a picture of the permit number (if there is one) and the space number.

Olin (302 E Lakeside St): 4 standard racks, 24 spaces in total. Parking Lot available but note that long stalls are for vehicles with trailers only. The rack spaces are not in order from left to right so be sure to pay attention to the space numbers. See diagram below. Program: Community Programs and Leadership Twice a month from April through September, you will conduct an audit of the watercraft storage racks at your assigned location. The purpose of the audit is to inform the Parks Administrative staff of any potential issues so they can, as needed, address them quickly before they become major problems. Your reports on what you see at the racks will be of great help and is much appreciated! You will be provided with an audit sheet that will list the space numbers and the permit numbers/description of the watercraft assigned to those spaces. Look at each space for the following, and if at all possible, please take pictures of any issues: 1. The permit sticker is attached to the watercraft and easily visible. Tarps should not be obstructing the view of the sticker, and the sticker should be firmly stuck on the watercraft. Document if there is any obstruction to viewing the sticker, if the sticker is not on the boat at all, or if it is torn or not well attached. 2. The permit sticker number matches the number assigned to that space. Document if the number on the permit is different from the number assigned to the space. 3. There are no additional, unpermitted watercraft in the space. If a space is allowed to have two watercrafts the audit sheet will note both permit numbers and the boat descriptions. Document any watercraft on the racks not reflected in the sheet. 4. The boat description reasonably matches the description assigned to that space. Only document glaring differences. For example, if the description on your audit sheet says it is a red kayak, but it looks orange or yellow, that is ok, but if it is a silver aluminum canoe, then document that. You do not need to verify if the brand is accurate. 5. The watercraft(s) fully fit into the space without infringing on the spaces around it. No watercraft should be more than 18ft long. Width and height wise, all permitted watercrafts should fit within the space without extending into the spaces above, below or next to it. You do not need to measure and get exact dimensions, but if a boat seems overly long/tall/wide or is impeding other spaces or people’s ability to get to their spaces, document this. 6. No other objects are stored in or near the racks. Document any other objects or items being stored on, near, or under the racks. 7. Please document any other issues you see at your location. Some examples of this might include (but not limited to): condition of the racks, conditions of the ground (tall weeds/grass, holes, bees or wasps), and any watercrafts on the ground. However, if you see any suspicious activity or hazards that warrant immediate attention, please contact the Rangers right away (608 235-0448). 8. Blank entries/empty spaces. If a line on your audit sheet is left blank, then it has not been assigned and that space on the rack should be empty, so document if anything is in that space and take a picture if you can. If there is a permit number assigned on your sheet but the space on the rack is empty, then just make a quick note that the space was empty, no need for pictures. When taking pictures, as much as possible try to get a picture of the permit number (if there is one) and the space number. Furthermore, please keep in mind that you should not physically interact with the watercrafts as this could cause a liability issue. If a watercraft is covered by a tarp, for example, do not lift or remove the tarp to see the sticker, just document that a tarp is blocking view of the watercraft and take a picture if possible. If, especially after a storm, you notice permitted watercrafts blown off of the racks or in disarray, simply document and take pictures and send them to watercraft storage staff and we will reach out to the owners as soon as possible.
