Copy of Existing Lease between Indian River County and Progressive Civic League of <br />Gifford, Florida, Inc. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />\ttached, please find a letter from iv[r. Carter Hopkins relative to the Gifford Youth Activity <br />Center (GMAC). In essence, it is the desire of GYAC to be able to either be assigned the lease <br />between the Indian River County and the Progressive Civic League of Gifford, Florida. Inc., or <br />enter into a new lease with the County. The second part of the request is to extend the tem' of <br />the lease from its present 20 -year tetui to one that is forty (40) to fifty (50) years in length. <br />RECOMLLIENDATION: <br />Since there is support from the Progressive Civic League of Gifford, Florida, Inc., to transfer the <br />operations to the Gifford Youth Activity Center Inc., staff needs directions as to the Board's <br />desire relative to the transfer (or new lease) and length of the tenni for the lease. <br />Commissioner Adams was pleased that the Gifford Youth Activity Center is moving <br />forward by incorporating. She preferred to have a new lease for the facility in order to <br />update it on indemnification and other matters. She suggested the County Attorney look <br />over the old lease with Mr Carter Hopkins, then draft and bring back a new lease to the <br />Commissioners. <br />Commissioner Macht thought the term of the lease should be conceptually agreed <br />upon and suggested 40-50 years is very common. The stability ofyears is necessary in order <br />to attract contributors and obtain financing. <br />April 9, 2002 <br />43 <br />n <br />4.+ <br />• <br />
