Request/Subject

Termination of the lease agreement between the Pine-Strawberry Horseman's Association and Gila County.

Background Information

On May 24, 2005, the Gila County Board of Supervisors entered into a lease agreement with the Pine-Strawberry Horseman's Association that allowed them to use a portion of the property owned by Gila County which is used for Public Works activities. That piece of property owned by Gila County is known as the Pine-Strawberry Yard. On this property is a horse arena and the original lease specified that the Pine-Strawberry Horseman's Association must maintain the horse arena and use the arena for horse shows and livestock events and keep the property clean, neat, and sanitary. In addition, the lease called for making the property available to other not-for-profit organizations and families to use.

At this time, the Pine-Strawberry Horseman's Association has notified Gila County that they would like to officially terminate the lease.

Evaluation

The Pine-Strawberry Horseman's Association has the right to cancel the lease and has notified Gila County they would like to do so.

Conclusion

The Pine-Strawberry Horseman's Association has officially notified Gila County that they would like to terminate the lease agreement and the Gila County Board of Supervisors should consider that request.

Recommendation

The Assistant County Manager recommends that the Gila County Board of Supervisors terminate the lease agreement between Gila County and the Pine-Strawberry Horseman's Association.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action terminate the lease agreement between Gila County and the Pine-Strawberry Horseman's Association. (Michael O'Driscoll)
