At the meeting, the committee will discuss and potentially vote to endorse a proposed 40-year ground lease with Great Bay Rowing, which would allow them to construct a 5,400-square-foot boathouse on the waterfront property. Any lease would require City Council approval before going into effect. Great Bay Rowing will also present a proposed design of the boathouse, a privately funded building that would not use any city funds. The ground lease calls for an annual rent of $12,000, which would increase by $1,000 per month every 10 years, with Great Bay Rowing responsible for operation and maintenance costs. The lease also calls for Great Bay Rowing to develop programs with the Recreation Department to educate the public about paddle sports.
CDWAC will also receive updates on the public and private construction elements at the waterfront. Construction of the new waterfront buildings continues at a rapid pace, with foundations constructed throughout the River Street loop road.
