Explanation
City Ordinance 1323-2011 authorized the City to enter into an agreement with the Mid-Ohio Select Soccer League (MOSSL) to manage and operate public recreational programs for the community at Spindler Park, which expires December 31, 2013.
MOSSL has expressed an interest to continue to operate and manage portions of the Park and provide certain public recreational programs to address the needs of the community. Under the new, proposed lease agreement, MOSSL will lease portions of the Park for a term of 10 years from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2023.

However, during the term of this new lease agreement, the City will maintain the right to use any portion of the Park for non-MOSSL activities.
