COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Ratify the action of the Executive Director of August 11, 2015, issuing a 21-day permit to the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 37 to access and launch boats from the Summit Boat Launch on 0.75 acres of District real estate located at 7800 Canal Bank Road in Summit, Illinois, and known as Main Channel Parcel 34.03. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00
Body
Dear Sir:
The United States Coast Guard (“USCG”) Auxiliary Division 37 presented an emergency request for a permit to use the Summit Boat Ramp to launch an operational patrol boat during the Chicago Air and Water Show held on August 14 through 16, 2015, and for the remainder of August.
Due to time constraints and the urgency for the USCG to provide a presence along the waterways during the 2015 Air and Water Show and throughout the remainder of August, the Executive Director issued a 21-day permit which commenced August 13, 2015 and expires September 3, 2015.
At the time the Executive Director issued the permit, he polled the Board of Commissioners and found that it was amenable to its issuance.
A nominal fee of $10.00 was assessed in this instance as is customary under agreements with governmental agencies using or accessing District property for public purposes.
The USCG also has a pending request for a 5-year permit to launch and retrieve patrol and emergency boats at the Summit Boat Launch. That permit request is being presented in a companion transmittal letter at today’s meeting.
Accordingly, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners ratify and approve the action of the Executive Director of August 11, 2015, issuing a 21-day permit to the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 37 to access and launch boats from the Summit Boat Launch on 0.75 acres of District real estate located at 7800 Canal Bank Road in Summit, Illinois, and known as Main Channel Parcel 34.03. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:BEB:vp
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman, Committee on Real Estate Development
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for September 3, 2015
