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. </div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div>Rachel Nadkarni</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:gray;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">Director of Economic Development </span><br></div><div><p style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:gray">City of Somerville, Massachusetts</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Town of Swansea is interested in allowing a regional youth sports league to utilize a piece of town-owned land to construct and maintain fields. What type of agreements have other communities put in place in order to allow something
like this to occur? There was some question on how this could even occur given the constraints of 30B. Thanks.<u></u><u></u></p>
