Title
Approval of lease agreement between the City of Smyrna and Smyrna Soccer Association for the space located at 2688 Atlanta Road and authorize the Mayor to execute any related documents
Body
ISSUE:
Smyrna Soccer Club is in the process of transitioning from a club focused solely on a recreation level to including more focus on player development and competitiveness with other soccer clubs. The goal is to eliminate the exodus of talented players to other clubs once they exit lower age groups. Smyrna Soccer has hired a full time staff member to assist with this transition. They are looking for office space where this person can be housed, as well as provide storage and board meeting space. The City has space located at 2688 Atlanta Road, formerly occupied by CMAR Credit Union that is appropriate for this use. To assist with the growth of this important City organization, staff is recommending leasing the front part of the building to the Club for two years at a rate of $500 per month. This will not have any impact on the space the City uses for a records center.
