Renewal of Management Services Agreement for the Piedmont Food Processing Center <br /> 20 The Board renewed a two-year Management Services Agreement for Piedmont Food Processing <br /> 21 Center. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 BACKGROUND: In 2011, Orange County was one of four county government partners that <br /> 24 helped to establish the Piedmont Food and Agriculture Processing Center (PFPC). The Center <br /> 25 has changed names, staff and leadership, and scope of services in the past 12 years. The County <br /> 26 owns and maintains the facility in which Piedmont Food Processing Center (PFPC) operates <br /> 27 shared kitchen spaces and provides food business incubator services. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 The County entered into the first management services agreement with PFPC in 2021. At that <br /> 30 time, Board members requested additional information regarding who is using the facility and the <br /> 31 stage of development for those clients. This information is provided as part of the attached <br /> 32 "Frequently Asked Questions" document. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 The proposed management services agreement does not modify any of the provisions of the <br /> 35 current agreement. It continues to define responsibilities for building usage and maintenance, <br /> 36 financial reporting, and all other relevant needs related to operating PFPC services in a County <br /> 37 owned facility. The renewal would extend the term of the agreement for two (2) years. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Travis Myren made the following presentation: <br /> 40 <br /> 41 <br />
