BACKGROUND:

Escambia County has partnered with local, non-profit organizations in the management of Community centers throughout the County. The organizations use and management of the community centers does not constitute any ownership or priority of use of the building. The County’s right of use to the community center for public purposes is in no way diminished by partnership with the organization.

As a part of the recent reorganization of County departments, oversight responsibility for the nineteen (19) community centers was divided between the Neighborhood & Human Services Department and the Parks & Recreation Department. Staff has worked with the County Attorney’s Office to make positive changes to the existing License and Management Agreement. The proposed changes will allow staff to work more effectively with existing and future non-profit organizations by providing programming opportunities and resources for the citizens of Escambia County.
