The Building, Zoning and Economic Development Committee voted unanimously to approve a nonexclusive license allowing the City of Aurora and the Fox Valley Park District to share a parking lot at 600 South River Street.

The measure, introduced as Item 260173, authorizes an initial 10-year term with options to renew for up to three consecutive five-year terms. Patrick Collins, assistant corporation counsel, said the agreement is effectively a renewal of a previous arrangement, and that the document includes mutual indemnification and insurance provisions. "This is actually a renewal technically," Collins said. "Both sides, there's indemnification. There's insurance privileges on both sides of it."

The license covers a lot adjacent to the city’s animal control facility and is intended to formalize shared use between the park district and the city. Vice Chair Patty Smith called for a motion; according to the meeting record the motion was offered by Alderman Garza and seconded by an alderman recorded in the transcript as "Alderman Venezuela." The committee approved the motion by voice vote, 4-0.

The committee recorded no public comment on the item. The resolution will move forward for finalization consistent with the license terms described to the committee.
