Site Development
CLS is in the process of building a boathouse, We
were a day from pouring a foundation, when we were stopped by the city for
inadequate permitting, though we’d gone through the school district
permitting process. Since then, it
was learned that state permitting only covered classrooms, not previously
enforced. The building is important
for the long term protection of the equipment which has degraded in the weather,
and has luckily avoided vandalism and major theft. It is important for members to be involved
in the city planning process underway this summer of 2006, as no plans
explicitly exist for a community aquatic center. We are continuing to actively pursue
boathouse development though status of the Natural High property is in
question long term.
Equipment
CLS has 4 functional eights, 4 quad/fours, 4 pair/doubles, 6 tub singles, 4
open water single/wherries, and 6 trainer single
sculls, as well as a 25 horse outboard, 2 tin launches, and a Zodiak launch. All equipment has been
salvaged, refurbished, or bought very used, but it is an outstanding
beginning fleet. Much equipment needs repair and maintenance work done. CLS
members last summer took great pride in the junkiest
old boats we had, an excellent start.
