AGENDA SECTION ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: APPROVED FOR NO: 8 AGENDA: City Manager's Office ITEM NO. 5 BY: Michael Morgan BY: Page 1 ITEM: (a) Consideration of designating site southeast of the Schilling/Ohio intersection as the preferred site for a future soccer complex. (b) Authorizing and directing city staff to pursue negotiations with Saline County to amend our current agreement related to this site; taking into consideration the interests of current leaseholders as well as other factors in the public interest. BACKGROUND: City staff requests further direction from the City Commission related to pursuit of an appropriate site for a potential future soccer complex. We will provide a thorough report at the Commission meeting. This requested action is for preferred site selection only. Staff recognizes that the Commission has made no decisions as to financing or placing a city soccer complex in the City's capital improvement plan. However, designation of a preferred site will enable the staff to work with Saline County officials, leaseholders and other interested parties. Staff will then be able to prepare appropriate reports for Commission 5-year C.I.P. consideration in the coming months. ACTION: Consider designation of the East Schilling Road site as the preferred site for a future soccer complex. Provide further direction to city staff related to City-County discussions.
