Title
Request from Madison Nordic Ski Club, Inc. (MadNorSki) to use the Elver Park for cross country skiing classes, practices, lessons and races under terms of a fee modification (2022-2025).
Body
Madison Nordic Ski Club, Inc. (MadNorSki) has been involved with volunteer trail grooming at Elver Park for nearly a decade. In 2016, The City of Madison entered into a formal use agreement with MadNorSki for volunteer snowmaking and grooming operations. That agreement was since transferred to Central Cross Country Ski (CXC), an affiliated organization of MadNorSki in 2019. As a result, the Facilities Programs & Fees Subcommittee of the Board of Park Commissioners has authorized annual Fee Modifications with MadNorSki since 2019.
MadNorSki seeks to renew a Fee Modification that outlines the terms under which MadNorSki may continue to provide lessons and classes at Elver Park from November 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025. MadNorSki has a long-term commitment to volunteering to make and groom snow and support these efforts at Elver, which provides a greater level of service than the Parks Division is able to provide. MadNorSki and the Parks Division are supportive of MadNorSki offering lessons and classes at Elver Park.
