Explanation
The Columbus Recreation & Parks Department ("City") and the Mid-Ohio Select Soccer League ("MOSSL"), an Ohio non-profit corporation, desire to enter into a Management Agreement ("Agreement") to establish management responsibilities for the City-owned property, known as the Spindler Park-Soccer Facility ("Complex"), located at 2121 Spindler Road. The City has operated the 72-acre soccer complex since the early 2000's; however due to budgetary constraints, the City is currently not able to fully staff or manage the operations at the Complex. MOSSL has expressed an interest in managing the Complex and providing certain recreational programs that are accessible and address the needs of the community. Under the proposed agreement MOSSL will manage the Complex for the period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014, construct a 36' x 64' Shelter-House south of the south parking lot, and provide certain financial and logistical support to the Kids Inner-City Developmental Soccer program. The City shall maintain the right to use any portion of the Complex for non-MOSSL activities. The City determined it to be in the best interest of the City to enter into an agreement with MOSSL for the operation of the Complex and the following legislation authorizes such.
