ISSUE

RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of this Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
Sky Corral R/C Club has had control of a portion of the Honor Farm Properties under
management agreements with the City since August 23, 1982. The last extension of the
previous management agreement expired in January 2010. Sky Corral R/C Club has
expressed their desire to develop, operate, and maintain the recreational facility for another
five years. This Ordinance would approve a Management Agreement between the City and

December 31, 2015. The terms of the Agreement are virtually identical to the terms of the
previous Agreements, except that certain contract language is updated and the State’s
involvement is deleted as the City now owns the property.
