To authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into Amendment #1 to the Operating Agreement between the City of Madison and Brittingham Boats, Inc. covering boat rental and concession operations utilizing certain lands and buildings at Brittingham Park and Olin Park for an eight year period.

Body
PREAMBLE
In 2013, The City of Madison issued RFP #8266-0-2013/SK seeking proposals for the right to conduct rental, instructional services, and concession activities at select City Parks. Brittingham Boats responded to this RFP with a proposal for Brittingham that includes providing rental, instructional and concession services at the Brittingham Beach House. The City negotiated an Operating agreement in 2013 that included provisions for watercraft rental and cafe operations at the Brittingham Park Beachhouse. In 2014, Brittingham Boats proposed an amendment that would authorize limited rental of Pontoon Boats at Olin and Brittingham Park as a part of the agreement. The amendment also allows for Brittingham Boats to operate the boat storage program at Brittingham. The Park Commission has approved the Operating Plan and Use of the park spaces that would be needed for this amendment.
The Parks Division has determined that this amendment to the operating agreement at these locations would be beneficial to all park users and will have a positive impact on the parks and neighborhood. It is determined that the grant of such an operating agreement is in the public interest as it will facilitate Madison area residents with public boating access to Monona Bay and Lake Monona.
