August 5, 2013 (Work Session) Page 1636 Len Witke, Cabarrus County Schools (CCS), presented the following information relating to a request for the sale of the Webb Field property to the City of Concord: The City of Concord has approached Cabarrus County Schools Board of Education (BOE) with a request to purchase the Webb Field property. The property consists of 8.4474 acres of land on which are constructed several buildings and other improvements made by the City over time. This represents a value, based on the attached appraisal, of $210,000.00, which is what the City has offered to pay the BOE for the property. Currently, the City of Concord rents the property for $1.00 per year and over the course of more than half a century the City has made investments in the property which has included the construction of the swimming pool and related buildings, as well as other building and field improvements. The City would like to replace the football and baseball field lighting at this time and make other significant improvements to the buildings in the future. If the Board of Commissioners chooses not to allow the sale of the land to proceed, then it is the City's request that its lease be extended for a minimum period of at least fifty (50) years at the current rate so the City's investment in the facilities on the property will be of use to the community for at least that amount of time. Therefore, it is the Board of Education's request that the Board of Commissioners refuse its right to purchase the property, approve the sale of the Webb Field property to the City of Concord by the Board of Education for a total of $210,000.00 and agree that the proceeds from the sale will be allowed for capital improvements in Cabarrus County schools, as determined by the Board of Education.
