Council authorizes exclusive lease of city gym to Rapidos Soccer Academy after residents urged preservation
Summary
Following public comment urging preservation of the gym, the council authorized the city manager and attorney to finalize an exclusive lease with Rapidos Soccer Academy, approving the proposal unanimously.
After residents urged the council to preserve the community gym, the Demorest City Council voted unanimously to authorize the city manager and city attorney to finalize a lease with Rapidos Soccer Academy for exclusive use of the gym while it remains standing.
Public commenters Ryan Kieth and Nina Rowland had asked the council to preserve, not demolish, the facility. Councilman Donnie Bennett said the Rapidos proposal would allow continued community use while allowing the organization to operate inside the facility; he moved that the city manager and city attorney finalize the lease.
The motion passed 4-0. The meeting record does not include the lease text, term length, rental amount or other commercial terms; the council authorized staff to complete details and execute the agreement.
