8-07-90 **C-12470 RAIDER ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
a license agreement with the Blue Raider Athletic Association.
BACKGROUND:
On February 10, 1961, the City of Fort Worth and the Blue Raider Athletic
Association entered into a lease agreement whereby the Association was
granted use of Water Department property on the Russom Ranch Reservoir site
for a ten-year period. On February 28, 1971, , the City Council authorized a
lease for 10 years of 11.86 acres of the reservoir site. This acreage
included the original 6.675 acres previously leased . On January 11, 1973,
the Water Department gave the Association permission to use an additional
5.867 acres and advised that the same requirements in City Secretary Contract
No. 6748 continued to apply.
Early in 1980, the association installed two soccer fields on the north side
of the property which the Water Department authorized the Association to use .
At the same time, the president of the Association requested the City to pre-
pare a new lease for 10 years, beginning September 1, 1980, and ending August
31, 1990. A license agreement was approved September 2, 1980.
A new agreement redefining the rights privileges, duties and responsibilities
of the respective parties and expiring August 31, 2000 is proposed. The
license fee is one dollar ($1) per year.
The agreement provides that the Blue Raider Athletic Association will have
continued use of the property for their activities until such time as the
Water Department requires the property for water storage or other needs.
The agreement also provides enhanced communication between the Blue Raider
Athletic Association and the Water Department to ensure that the Association
understands and complies with all conditions of the license agreement.
