Summary Explanation/Background
PARKS AND RECREATION DIVISION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This item supports the Broward County Board of County Commissioners’ goal of “Healthy Community - Cultivating community culture, arts, recreation, and life-long learning.”
Approval of this item would permit the donation of goods and services for the resurfacing the velodrome track at Brian Piccolo Sports Park, with an estimated value of $111,174. The resurfacing project will reduce the required maintenance of the track over time, provide more traction assisting skaters of all levels, and will give the park more rental opportunities to various groups, including USA Roller Sports, which hosts national and international events at the park. With a high performing, coated track, the Parks Division believes USA Roller Sports would be willing to host larger events at the velodrome, which would increase tourism and benefit the local economy through hotel stays and dining opportunities.
The proposed Resolution (Exhibit 1) authorizes Broward County to accept this donation as requested by the donor. This item would also authorize the County Administrator to execute any agreements necessary to permit the donated resurfacing at no cost to the County, subject to review for legal sufficiency by the Office of the County Attorney.
