He explained that the City was considering <br />selling the 35 -acre parcel adjacent to Dodgertown to a potential buyer. <br />In his PowerPoint Presentation, Administrator Brown gave a background of the <br />parcel adjacent to Historic Dodgertown and pointed out the importance of this <br />parcel from a historical perspective. He informed the Board of the parking license <br />agreement with the City and detailed the parking areas for large events. He <br />pointed out that going forward, the County needed to secure the ability to house <br />these large events and had a vested interest in what development was planned for <br />the site because the parcel had to be a compatible use with the Dodgertown Facility. <br />Administrator Brown mentioned that the potential buyer's current offer on the <br />35 -acre parcel was $2.1 million and that the parcel was appraised at $3.5 million <br />two years ago. He felt it was a good opportunity to purchase the 35 -acre parcel at <br />a reasonable price and expressed his concerns with the language in the current <br />purchase agreement. He discussed the economic benefits of the Dodgertown <br />Facility and pointed out that the 35 -acre parcel could be key in locking down the <br />long-term future of the facility. He clarified that parking was just one of the <br />concerns, but also that nothing interferes with the success the County has had with <br />preserving Historic Dodgertown. <br />Administrator Brown reviewed five alternatives for the Board's consideration, with <br />staff recommending Alternative 2, purchasing a portion of the 35 -acre parcel.
