Fiscal Consideration
This approval will establish fees for use of the newly acquired Canterbury Equestrian Center so that the County may rent it to entities that do not already have existing contract that were assumed by the County at closing. Pursuant to Section 16.j. of the Agreement to Purchase Real Estate between Alachua County and Canterbury Showplace, Inc., at closing on August 7, 2019, the County assumed 5 existing horse show contracts from the Seller. At closing, the Seller remitted to the County the deposits it received under said contracts and the County will receive all future payments due under said contracts.
The County does not currently charge the Alachua County Youth Fair and Livestock Show, Inc. for use of county-owned facilities, so including the exemption in the fee schedule has no fiscal impact; however, it allows the language to be removed from the standard contract.
There is no fiscal impact from itemizing the Gatornationals fees since the fees aren’t changing; they are simply being clarified and formally included.

Background:
On November 6, 2018, the County entered into the Agreement to Purchase Real Estate between Alachua County and Canterbury Showplace, Inc. Pursuant to that Agreement, the County purchased the Canterbury Equestrian Center on August 7, 2019. In order to rent that newly acquired facility to entities that do not already have a contract to use the facility, the Board must establish the fees the County will charge for use of said facility. In addition, pursuant to Section 16.j. of that Agreement, the Seller assigned 5 existing horse show contracts to the County. A copy of each assigned contract is attached to this agenda item. Each assigned contract sets forth the fees to be charged for the use of the facility, all of which will be paid to the County for events occurring after closing on August 7, 2019.
