Body
Whereas, The Redevelopment Authority owns the property at 212 S. 36th 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, Liga Premiere requested to facilitate soccer programming and tournaments on the Property since that time, including working with other City soccer organizations, and has entered into License Agreements each year since 2020; and
Whereas, Liga Premiere had a successful year of programming soccer events on the Property each year from 2021 through 2024 and has again requested use of the soccer fields for 2025 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.
