2 • The operator is required to offer non-travel house/recreational level youth sports teams that will primarily serve (greater than 50%) to Orange County residents. • The operator will offer the same number of recreational level youth sports at the same frequency, times, and costs (as determined by County) to what has been historically provided at the Facility. • The operator will not supplant, or in any way reduce Facility access and use by, house/recreational level youth sports teams and leagues. • The operator will offer Orange County families earning 80% or less of Area Median Income (as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) access to recreational level and travel level teams through income-based scholarships or other substantially reduced cost programs. • All youth sports shall cater primarily (greater than 50% of participants) to Orange County residents. • If the County, at the sole discretion of the Orange County Commissioners, determines that any of the operator's activities, programs, or projects are detrimental to the residents of Orange County or detrimental to the access or use of the Facility by the residents of Orange County, the agreement allows the County to direct the operator to discontinue such activities, programs, or projects. The County's authority applies to any and all activities, programs, and projects, including, but not limited to, those specifically authorized by the Management Services Agreement. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The annual Management Fee provided by the Agreement is $194,364 for the initial year. This is the same fee paid to Recreation Factory Partners in 2025 under the current contract. Annual percentage increases will be applied on the anniversary date of the contract each year based on the Consumer Price Index.
