Title

Resolution authorizing a 1-Year License Agreement with Liga Premiere, LLC for the property at 212 South 36^th Street.

Analysis

Body

Whereas, The Redevelopment Authority owns the property at 212 S. 36^th Street (“Property”); and

Whereas, The property is part of the Menomonee Valley Industrial Center and Community Park and was designed and built to be used as playfields; and

Whereas, The Authority issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) in 2016 and in 2017 but determined that none of the proposals met the objectives of the Redevelopment Authority and its’ partners; and

Whereas, The Authority authorized entry into a License Agreement with a local soccer foundation to hold soccer events in the Fall of 2017 and the 2018 season; and

Whereas, The License Agreement with the local soccer foundation expired resulting in the Authority working with several organizations from the City of Milwaukee, including Liga Premiere, LLC (“Liga Premiere”), to hold soccer events in 2019; and

Whereas, The Authority had intended to sign a one-year license with Liga Premiere to hold additional soccer events in 2020; however, the pandemic prevented events from occurring, and

Whereas, Liga Premiere requested to facilitate soccer programming and tournaments on the Property in 2021, including working with other City soccer organizations; and

Whereas, the Authority Board approved Resolution Nos. 10860 on April 15, 2021, and 10904 on March 17, 2022, to enter into License Agreements with Liga Premiere, LLC; and

Whereas, Liga Premiere had a successful year of programming soccer events on the property in 2021 and 2022 has again requested use of the soccer fields for 2023 under the same License Agreement terms and conditions; now therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Redevelopment Authority, that the proper officials are authorized to execute the License Agreement that is part of this file, or one in form and substance materially similar thereto, to allow Liga Premiere to use the Property and to take such actions as may be necessary to carry out the intent of this resolution.
