RE:	Request of KU Recreation Services to expand boat storage area in Burcham Park

Over the winter months KU Recreation Services requested permission from the City to expand an enclosed area they share with the KU Athletic Department in Burcham Park to store boats and equipment they use in their rowing program.

This project has been reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation staff and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. A flood plain and historic resources review were approved in March 2006.

We request this proposal be placed on an agenda for City Commission consideration.

Toni Wheeler, staff attorney, has prepared a written license agreement that would be signed by both parties for the use of Burcham Park for their rowing program.
