Body
Dear Sir:
On January 1, 1995, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers granted the District a license to use a portion of the south guidewall of the Chicago River Controlling Works, west of the Old Coast Guard Station, for the placement of a mobile office trailer, or equivalent structure, and docking space for the District’s boats, parking for the District’s automobiles, and related functions, and for ingress and egress across other lands of the United States as required. The License Agreement (“License”), as extended, expires December 31, 2019.
The District’s technical departments recommend that the License be renewed for an additional five years. The Maintenance and Operations Department uses this location to moor District boats that conduct debris removal along the waterways, and the Monitoring and Research Department uses it to moor District boats that conduct sampling activities. In addition, the District’s boathouse is located on the south guidewall, and District personnel report and work out of that building. Amendment 10 of the referenced License will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the prior License. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the execution of Amendment 10 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers License DACW 35-3-95-2001, extending the District’s right to moor its boats along the south guidewall of the Chicago River Controlling Works, west of the Old Coast Guard Station, and to maintain a boathouse for an additional five years, beginning on January 1, 2020, and ending December 31, 2024. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute said Amendment 10 after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:JJZ:CMM:vp
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
