Each year we have encountered problems with access to the two large docks in the park. Boats tied up at those docks remain there and prevent access by the over 280 boats registered for the tournament. We are informed by the police department that the current ordinance allows boats to remain at these docks up to 18 hours. We would like to request the City Council to grant an exclusive use permit to the Otter Street Fishing Club for these docks from 12:01 am on June 18th until 6 pm Sunday, June 20th for the purpose of running this event. The Fishing Club has contributed half the funds to construct these docks and would greatly appreciate their exclusive use during these three days. We thank you for granting this request last year and ask your consideration again this year. Also a copy of the permit (if granted) for on site use is requested. The Otter Street Fishing Club will cooridante the final details of this event with the Oshkosh Parks Dept., and the Oshkosh City Police Department.
