• <br />Z J. INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION, ING -1999 COUNTY FAIR <br />LEASE OF FAIRGROUNDS PROPERTY <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 2, 1998: <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney <br />DATE: December 2,1998 <br />RE: Leasing of Fairgrounds Property to Indian River <br />County Fair Association, Inc. for 1999 County Fair <br />Attached are two original copies of a proposed lease between the County and <br />the Indian River County Fair Association, Inc. of land at the fairgrounds property <br />for 25 days in March, 1999, to allow the Fair Association to conduct the annual <br />County fair. This Is the first year that the private corporation has undertaken <br />running the fair rather than having the County handle the arrangements in <br />conjunction with the Firefighters Association. <br />As the Board may remember, the State of Florida determined that Indian River <br />County was the only county In the state to conduct a fair by Itself, without the <br />use of a private, not-for-profit t corporation, and the State requested that we <br />conform our fair activities to that used by all other counties which conduct fairs. <br />Accordingly, the County assisted a group of interested individuals, most of <br />whom are members of the Firefighters Association, to form a private <br />corporation, and it is this corporation that wishes to lease land from the County. <br />It will be the responsibility of the Association to contract with a fair company to <br />provide the rides and other activities incidental to a fair. The County's rent for <br />the fairgrounds will be 113 of the net profits of the fair to be validated by an <br />audit. <br />Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval and authorization for the <br />Chairman to sign the agreement on behalf of the County. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board <br />unanimously approved the Lease with Indian River <br />County Fair Association, Inc. for the 1999 County <br />Fair, as recommended by staff. <br />LEASE IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE <br />OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />DECEMBER 15, 1998 <br />-21- PAGE <br />
