Parks board approves three-year facility-use agreement with Lake Country Football Club

The Parks & Recreation advisory board approved a three-year facility-use agreement that will run through June 2028 allowing Lake Country Football Club to use fields at the sports complex.

The agreement was introduced by Speaker 4, who said a subcommittee worked with club representatives to recommend a shorter-term arrangement that gives the new organization room to stabilize before any longer commitment. A representative identified in the transcript as Jeff, speaking to the board, described club investments in field maintenance, including materials and a marking robot, and said the club organized as a nonprofit to ensure transparency and remain focused on athletes' needs. "We've already made some good strides in updating the fields," the representative said, adding the club is "off to a good start." (Jeff's first speaking turn appears at SEG 128.)

Board members asked about enrollment and resident participation; the transcript records discussion about the club's first-year enrollment and a board concern about a clause requiring at least 40 percent resident participation. The club representative said Pewaukee residents did enroll in the first year and the club expects more returning players.

A motion to approve the facility-use agreement was made and seconded; the board voted in favor by voice and the chair thanked the club.

Staff said the agreement will be included in the department's revenue projections for next year and that the board can revisit timing and terms before the end of the three-year term if both parties agree.
