[Massplanners] youth sports agreements

[Rachel Nadkarni]

Hi John,

The issue we've seen in Somerville is on the construction side. We've been
exploring a possible public private partnership involving a facility that
we do not plan on selling, but rather leasing out. The arrangement we found
that was comfortable from a procurement standpoint was to allow the private
entity to fund construction as upfront rent for x-years, but that
construction must be done through the City procurement process. Then for
the x-years, the private entity would manage and maintain the facility
under the terms of a lease agreement for the cost of utilities only. I will
say this exploration is ongoing, so I don't have a lease example, but we
have completed the 30B research.

Best wishes,
Rachel Nadkarni
