PURPOSE:
Since at least 2007, the City has had a lease agreement with Guilford County for Sternberger Park, a facility owned by Guilford County which is located at 715 Summit Ave. in Greensboro. Through this agreement, the City maintains the facility through its Field Operations and Parks & Recreation Departments consistent with the standards established for City neighborhood parks. The resolution included with this agenda item allows the City and the County to continue in this arrangement for a one-year agreement with three optional one-year renewals.
BACKGROUND:
Inter-local agreements require the approval of the elected bodies. At its meeting on May 16, 2019, Guilford County Commissioners approved this lease agreement and related resolution (Agenda item 2019-220). City Council approval is requested so that a new lease agreement can be finalized.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The budgetary costs of maintaining this facility are included in the parks maintenance budgets for Field Operations and Parks & Recreation. The City pays the County $1.00/year in order to lease the property.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
