Summary Explanation and Background:
The County has contracted the operation of Senior Centers since the mid-1970s. The Wickham Park Senior Center is located in Melbourne. The Senior Center organization is a private Not-for-Profit corporation. This partnership enables all socioeconomic levels of the senior population the opportunity to participate in programs and services designed to meet their recreational, physical, financial, health, social, nutritional and educational needs.
On August 18, 2015 the Board of County Commissioners approved the lease for the operation of the Wickham Park Senior Center for a five-year term. Approval of the lease renewal will grant an additional five-year term extending the contract to August 17, 2025. The lease renewal documents have been reviewed and approved by both the County Attorney and Risk Management.
Brevard County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2, Section 2-241 through Section 2-251, establishes procedures for the sale, leasing and donation of real property. It requires the intent and County Code to be published on the County website at least five days prior to the public meeting and also requires a supermajority vote by the Board. The posting requirement was successfully completed on July 15, 2020.
