COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to amend Board Order of April 4, 2013, from issuance of a five-month permit to the Roseland Little League Baseball Organization, to a seven-month permit on approximately 2.66 acres of District real estate located at 12483 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago, to continue to maintain and operate little league baseball fields, and a waiver of the minimum fee of $2,500.00, to reflect a nominal permit fee of $10.00
Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board meeting of April 4, 2013, the Board of Commissioners authorized the issuance of a five-month permit to the Roseland Little League Baseball Organization ("Roseland") on approximately 2.66 acres of improved real estate located at 12483 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago, to continue to maintain and operate little league baseball fields in consideration of $2,500.00.
Roseland has now requested a waiver of the $2,500.00 permit fee. In addition, Roseland is seeking a 39-year lease of the site, and a companion letter seeking authority to award a lease is also on the Board's agenda. In order to provide adequate time to finalize the lease request, the current expiration date of the permit on September 14, 2013, will have to be extended another two months, before the leasing procedures can be finalized.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it amend its April 4, 2013 Order extending the permit from five months to seven months to the Roseland Little League Baseball Organization and to waive the permit fee of $2500.00.
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of the Committee of Finance and the Clerk to execute the permit agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:MLD:ldl
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Real Estate
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for August 29, 2013
