REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 <br />TITLE: <br />APPROVE A CONCESSION AGREEMENT <br />WITH MATCH POINT TENNIS ACADEMY, <br />LLC. FOR THE MANAGEMENT, <br />OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF <br />CABRILLO TENNIS CENTER <br />(STRATEGIC PLAN NO. 2,213) <br />CIT MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 161 Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a one year concession <br />agreement with Match Point Tennis Academy, LLC. for the management, operation, and <br />maintenance of the Cabrillo Tennis Center in exchange for a fee payable to the City in the <br />amount of $4,000 per month from September 5, 2018 through September 4, 2019, subject to non - <br />substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) entered into a five-year <br />license agreement with Match Point Tennis Academy, LLC. (Match Point) in 2008 and then again <br />in 2013 for another five years for the use of the tennis courts at Cabrillo Tennis Center. Match <br />Point is responsible for making sure that tennis courts are made available to the public and at the <br />same time they have been given authority to operate the tennis academy at the Center. <br />Under the direction of Elson De Cantuaria, a former professional tennis player who has an <br />extensive background in tennis center management and administration, Match Point has been <br />successful in helping to revive the sport of tennis in Santa Ana. Match Point has increased the <br />overall number of participants at the Cabrillo Tennis Center and has introduced more young <br />people to tennis by providing free training, consulting services, and scholarships for Santa Ana <br />youth. <br />While Match Point has been able to provide a lot of service to the City, due to the length of their <br />prior agreements, the City feels that it would be in its best interest to issue a Request for <br />Proposals (RFP) from qualified providers to discover available options. Therefore, the City is <br />requesting a one year concession agreement with Match Point for management, operation and <br />maintenance of the tennis center to allow for time to issue, evaluate and award an RFP. The <br />agreement can be terminated by the City without cause with thirty days' notice. Almost all of the <br />terms and conditions of the most recent agreement with Match Point will continue, such as <br />25A-1 <br />
