BACKGROUND: In February of 2007, the Manager sent the attached materials to the Board for their consideration. In summary, County representatives have met with Sports Endeavors and wish to continue discussions to confirm a partnership as described in the materials. In exchange for funds, the County would provide the naming rights for the Soccer Center as well as related benefits to be determined. Staff has also begun discussions with other partners who may be interested in working with the County on this project on a smaller scale. These agreements might include the exchange of funds for individual field naming rights, or donation of a scoreboard, or other benefits to be determined. Renewable agreements would assist with annual operating costs for the park. FINANCIAL. IMPACT: Current estimated annual operating-are $300,000 to $350,000 for staffing and maintenance. Any funds provided through these partnerships would offset annual operating costs. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board authorize staff to continue solicitation of sponsorship funding in exchange for naming rights for the park and for individual fields or other amenities within the park.
