Body
Dear Sir:
The Worth Lions Club (“Club”) has requested a 49-day permit for use of approximately 1-acre of District land located within Cal-Sag Channel Atlas Parcel 9.03, east of Harlem Avenue and south of 116th Street in Worth, Illinois and leased to the Village of Worth, for its annual Christmas tree sale and fundraising event from November 13, 2010, through December 31, 2010. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
The Club has been issued a permit for use of this portion of land for its annual tree sale since 1984. The Village of Worth which leases the land for use as a golf course has agreed to the Club’s use of a portion of the subject parcel for the tree sale. A nominal fee of $10.00 is assessed because the tree sale is a charitable fundraising activity.
The technical departments have reviewed the request and have no objections to the issuance of this permit. The Club will provide $2,000,000.00 general liability insurance coverage naming the District as an additional insured. As with previous permits for the annual tree sale, the Club has requested a waiver of the five thousand dollar ($5,000.00) indemnity bond requirement.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a 49-day permit to the Worth Lions Club for use of approximately 1-acre of District land located within Cal-Sag Channel Atlas Parcel 9.03, east of Harlem Avenue and south of 116th Street in Worth, Illinois and leased to the Village of Worth, for its annual Christmas tree sale and fundraising event from November 13, 2010, through December 31, 2010. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is further requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of its Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute the permit agreement document after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Frederick M. Feldman, General Counsel, FMF:CL:STM:BEB
Recommended, Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Terrence J. O’Brien, 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 November 4, 2010
