Resolution to Approve a Lease with Huron River Holdings, Inc. for Use of a Parking Lot at 416 Longshore Drive ($2,500.00) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a $2,500.00 lease with Huron River Holdings, Inc. for use of the parking lot at 416 Longshore Drive on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays from May 26, 2012 - September 3, 2012 for overflow parking for Argo Canoe Livery.
Argo Canoe Livery continues to be a very popular and heavily used park in Ann Arbor. Argo Canoe Livery has faced operational challenges trying to meet parking demand throughout the livery season. With the addition of the Argo Cascades staff anticipates an increase in the number of users of Argo Canoe Livery. As a result, staff recommends leasing the existing parking lot at 416 Longshore Drive for additional overflow parking for the canoe livery season. The highest demand for parking at the canoe livery is on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The parking lot at 416 Longshore Drive will provide approximately an additional 40 parking spaces. It is anticipated that increased revenue from users fees will help offset the cost of leasing the parking lot for the livery season.
Funding is available in the approved FY2012 Parks & Recreation Services General Fund operating budget.
