Explanation
Background:
Authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into lease agreements with the Academic - Youth Rowing Clubs, consisting of Dublin High School Club, Upper Arlington High School Club, Hilliard High School Club, Westerville High School Club, OSU Crew Club, and Dennison Crew Club
The agreements will be for a term of five (5) years
The City of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department is requesting the approval to revise the Lease agreements to include the following revisions:
-We are requesting that we offer the Academic - Youth Rowing Clubs a 25% reduction from their total lease agreement fees. New fees will become $230.00 per dock and $130.00 per boat yearly. This will allow for continued support of the Academic-Youth Rowing Programs and continual partnership between City of Columbus, Recreation and parks and the Academic-youth Rowing Programs.
-We are requesting that we extend the lease agreement term from 2 years to 5 years. This will allow for a longer agreement to be in place, as the academic youth clubs have expressed interest in the longer term for the Lease Agreement. This will also allow for the continued occupancy for Griggs, Hoover, and O'shaghnessy Reservoirs.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency to renew lease agreement and for the revisions to become effective immediately.
Title
To authorize and direct the Director of Recreation and Parks to revise the lease agreements with Youth rowing clubs, enter into new lease agreements; and to declare and emergency.
