Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final April 9, 2024 <br />Lease Agreement Jackie Robinson Training Complex <br />Recommended Action: 1. Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed <br />Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Facility Lease Agreement for the <br />Jackie Robinson Training Complex and authorize the Chairman to execute the Third <br />Amendment in substantial form subject to minor changes after review and approval by <br />the County Attorney. 2. Additionally, staff requests the Board of County <br />Commissioners waive the requirement for bids in order to allow MLB Verotown to <br />manage the additional projects under the Third Amendment and to complete facility <br />improvement projects contemplated by the Third Amendment to the Agreement as <br />detailed above in a similar manner to the original approval on December 18, 2018, <br />and February 9, 2021, and July 12, 2022, respectively. <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />First Amendment <br />Second Amendment <br />Proposed Third Amendment <br />Commissioner Moss stated she was opposed to this Item and had voted against <br />previous amendment requests on February 9, 2021, and on July 12, 2022. <br />Deputy County Administrator Mike Zito stated that the agreement between the <br />County and Major League Baseball (MLB) was a partnership in which both parties <br />shared the cost of upgrading the facility. As per the amendment to the agreement, the <br />remaining surplus funds of $250,000, which were allocated for the asbestos <br />remediation project, would be used to cover the plumbing improvements required to <br />complete the Villas renovation project. Mr. Zito confirmed that this was the County's <br />final obligation, except for the roof repair mentioned in the original agreement. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher stated that this relationship with MLB was established so that <br />MLB would manage the construction of certain improvements and share responsibility <br />for selecting the contractors. <br />Mr. Zito responded that the County could not take on this process due to the gravity <br />of the current in-house projects. This methodology had worked very well and ensured <br />pricing and quality. No new funding was required for this recommendation. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman Flescher, seconded by Commissioner <br />Earman, to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the following <br />vote: <br />Aye: 4 - Chairman Adams, Vice Chairman Flescher, Commissioner Earman, and <br />Commissioner Loar <br />Nay: 1 - Commissioner Moss <br />8.J. 24-0328 Acceptance of Donation for Westlaw Legal Research Database at Access to Justice <br />Indian River County Florida Page a <br />
