TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF NOVEMBER 2, 2023
COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a 5-year permit to Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt, LLC to use the Summit boat launch located on Main Channel Parcel 34.03 in Summit, Illinois, to launch and retrieve boats and booming equipment. Consideration shall be an annual fee of $5,000.00
Body
Dear Sir:
Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt, LLC (“Owens Corning”) currently leases Main Channel Parcel 34.02 in Summit, Illinois, for the purpose of operating a barge dock for its nearby facility. The lease commenced December 15, 2012, and expires December 14, 2032.
As part of an expanded safety protocol to protect the waterway, Owens Corning is implementing a new spill plan which includes the booming of every barge prior to loading and unloading at the dock. To execute this plan, Owens Corning will need to launch boats and booming equipment from a separate location when a barge arrives at its leasehold site. For this purpose, Owens Corning has requested a 5-year permit for periodic and non-exclusive use of the District’s nearby Summit boat launch located on Main Channel Parcel 34.03 in Summit, Illinois.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed Owens Corning’s request and have no objections thereto. An annual permit fee in the amount of $5,000.00 is recommended, as the pro-rata share of 10% of the fair market value of the permitted area would yield a fee less than the District's minimum permit fee of $5,000.00.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a 5-year permit to Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt, LLC to use the Summit boat launch located on Main Channel Parcel 34.03 in Summit, Illinois, to launch and retrieve boats and booming equipment. Consideration shall be an annual fee of $5,000.00.
It is further 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 permit agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:BJD:NOC:nl
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for November 2, 2023
