Purpose. The purpose of this action is to get a Park Commission recommendation on whether the city <br />should partner with the Long Lake Rowing Crew allowing the club to construct and maintain a boat house <br />and docks at Summit Beach Park. <br />2. Background. Long Lake Rowing Crew (LLRC) was founded in 2014 by a group who had a vision <br />for the sport of rowing on Long Lake. LLRC has been operating out of the Birches site and the Long <br />Lake Fire Department. However the Birches site is not ideally suited to launching boats and with the club <br />growing it is looking for a place to construct a boathouse and training facility. The Club approached the <br />City in 2018 about the possibility of partnering with the city for use of the Summit Beach Park location. <br />LLRC is a non-profit, 501 C# organization. The mission of Long Lake Rowing Crew is "to provide a safe, <br />inspiring and educational opportunity for people of all ages to learn, enjoy and excel in the sport of <br />rowing. LLRC is a volunteer -driven, non-profit club committed to knowledgeable instruction, personal <br />and competitive achievement, and the well-being of its members and the greater Long Lake community.
