Summary:  At the 8/16/2020 Board Meeting, the Forest Preserves notified the Forest Preserves Board of Commissioners that it would seek amendments to existing concession agreements to mitigate the financial impact of COVID-19.  Because of restrictions implemented by the State of Illinois, and logistical and operational difficulties around offering canoe and kayak rentals at the Skokie Lagoons during the pandemic, public boat rentals were not available at this facility during the 2020 season. As a result, and in order to ensure the long-term viability of this concessions enterprise, the Forest Preserves seeks authorization to waive the 2020 annual base fee of $21,000.00 and to extend the contract length by one (1) year.
