W A T E R E N E R G Y ! l F t RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES Board Memorandum PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: August 3, 2012 ITEM NO: 5 SUBJECT: FIELD USE AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN YOUTH SOCCER ORGANIZATION — TWO-YEAR EXTENSION ISSUE: That the Board of Public Utilities consider approval to extend the Right of Entry Agreement with American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) through August 31, 2014. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Public Utilities recommend that the City Council approve the Right of Entry Agreement with American Youth Soccer Organization through August 31, 2014. BACKGROUND: AYSO has leased Utility owned property at the Ab Brown Soccer Complex for the past 30 years. Under the terms of the original agreements, AYSO and the City Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department developed the existing soccer fields, parking lots and concession buildings. AYSO currently provides all maintenance of the facilities, including watering, mowing, weed control, graffiti abatement and security. The last amended License Agreement expired on July 1, 2012. Staff has not identified a current operational need for this property and, therefore, recommends extending the Right of Entry Agreement for two years through August 31, 2014. While RPU does not have a current operational need for the property, the property is held as a long-term investment and a potential source of water for future needs. The passive use of the property by AYSO does not impede RPU's use of the property. Under the terms of the Right of Entry Agreement, AYSO will continue to provide all maintenance on the premises as described above. The cost of maintaining the land owned by the Utility is completely offset through the efforts of AYSO. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the Right of Entry Agreement.

Graham, Assistant City Manager Approved as to form: Gregory P. Priamos, City Attorney Attachment: 1. Agreement
