• What was the genesis of the program?
• In the 1960s, the Orange County Board of
  Supervisors decided that the private sector,
  through a competitive process, should provide
  recreational activities to complement the
  traditional ones provided by the County. This
  would accomplish three things
• Create new recreation opportunities for the
  public
• Limit the Countys risk, particularly in areas
  where there was no County expertise (golf,
  marinas, stables, etc.)
• Generate revenue for the HBP or Tidelands Funds

• How does the Lease/Concession Program currently
  work?
• First, someone comes up with a
  revenue-generating idea.
• For example, expand an existing golf course on
  a leasehold about to expire into newly acquired
  HBP property (the triangle in Mile Square Park).

• Next, complete a Request for Proposals process
  to allow fair competition for the use of public
  land.

21
Harbors, Beaches and Parks

• The RFP process ends with selection of a
  proposal by the County Board of Supervisors in
  this case, the incumbent lessee.

22
Harbors, Beaches and Parks

• HBP staff then negotiates an option/lease
  agreement with the proposer who was selected by
  the County Board and the agreement is brought
  back to the Board for approval.

23
Harbors, Beaches and Parks

• HBP staff works with proposer to obtain the
  necessary planning, environmental and building
  approvals for the project at the proposers
  expense.
• The County, as in this case, assists in the
  defense against lawsuits.

24

• Finally, the project is completed at the
  proposers expense (including the cost of project
  over-runs) and the HBP Fund receives an
