2 • The fields complex will be managed and operated so as to allow both private usage coordinated by the non-profit owner as well as usage for public recreational play, including tournaments and other special events; • The non-profit owner will enter into a Memorandum of Agreement concurrent with the sale of the property regarding the property, expectations of use and other conditions; and • A deed restriction that reverts the land to County ownership if the conditions of usage are not met will be included in the deed of sale; Pending Board discussion, the attached Solicitation of Offers could be published on or around March 26, 2026, and proposals (with purchase offers) from qualifying non-profit organizations could be submitted by April 24, 2026. Once proposals are received, relevant information on the proposals will be prepared and presented to the Board to consider terms of a contract to sell and determine a recommended purchaser. Once this is completed, a contract and deed of sale, along with a Memorandum of Agreement between the parties as outlined above, would be prepared for the Board's consideration. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Solicitation of Offers document would result in offers to purchase the property in question, which if conveyed would generate revenue for the County. Expected tournaments and special events at the facility would also generate economic impact for the community. While 45 acres of the site is listed as available for purchase, it should be noted that the Solicitation of Offers also provides for a lesser amount of land to be purchased, as some prospective buyers may propose buying a smaller area. Offer amounts received may be adjusted by prospective buyers, based on the conditions of sale as noted above and in the Solicitation of Offers document. ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: • GOAL 2: HEALTHY COMMUNITY OBJECTIVE 7. Invest in services and programs that improve the health and quality of life of the community (e.g., recreation and public open spaces, arts, etc.) • GOAL 7: DIVERSE AND VIBRANT ECONOMY OBJECTIVE 1. Provide family-oriented and inclusive programming or other cultural events for residents and visitors. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board review the attached document and, after providing any direction or feedback, authorize staff to issue and publish the Solicitation document, receive proposals and offers, and negotiate terms of a potential sale under the conditions and provisions of the Solicitation of Offers and the statutory parameters provided above.
