Item 1

Change in Golf Operations:Consideration of a staff recommendation to enter into an interim agreement with the Montgomery County Revenue Authority to operate the M-NCPPC public golf courses beginning April 15, 2006.These courses include Little Bennett, Needwood, Northwest, and Sligo and are now staffed and operated by the Department of Parks.This interim agreement is anticipated to lead to the approval of a long-term lease between the Commission and the Revenue Authority that will result in one county organization providing a comprehensive public golf system.

The public will have an opportunity to review and comment on the draft lease during public hearings that will be held by the Planning Board and the Montgomery County Council when the lease is under consideration by the respective bodies.This phase of the transition is anticipated during the next several months and will be announced on the Planning Board’s agenda.

This action is being pursued in accordance with Section 1-500 of the Commission’s procurement regulations as an intergovernmental agreement, and is therefore not subject to the competitive bidding provisions thereof.Staff Recommendation: Approval to enter operating agreement.
