Clarification Regarding Hennepin Youth Sports Programs Applicants
Hennepin County has received several inquiries as to whether private parties, such as Charter and Private Schools, may be beneficiaries of Hennepin Youth Sports Program Grants secured on their behalf by a Local Unit of Government (LGU). The County Board resolution establishing the grant program does not require a project to be owned by a LGU, be on public property, and does not necessarily require a LGU to guarantee operation. The resolution does however require that the applicant be a LGU.
Therefore, in cases where a Local Unit of Government (LGU) wishes to represent a Private Land Owner (Owner) in the application for a Hennepin Youth Sports Program Grant, the LGU shall execute, with the Owner, a covenant to run with the land.
The covenant will be constructed by the LGU, shall be subject to the review of the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, and must include the following elements:
- The covenant shall be in writing.
- The covenant shall demonstrate the benefits it provides the LGU and Owner.
- The covenant shall apply to and bind successors of the LGU and/or Owner.
- The covenant shall be recorded.
- The Owner shall provide written notice as to the terms of the covenant to successor owners prior to the sale of the land.
- The covenant shall ensure the public may enjoy the use of the land for youth activities and/or youth and amateur athletics as described in the Grant application.
- The Owner may not modify the land from its intended public use without written consent of the LGU.
- The covenant shall be in effect for 15 years (the expected life of the public improvement). During this time, the Owner shall ensure the land is used for the purposes described in paragraph 6 and is available to otherwise be used by the public for reasonable periods of time as agreed to by the LGU.
- If, during the time period when the covenant is effective, the land is not used for the purposes described in paragraph 6 and/or is not reasonably available for public use, the Owner shall repay the LGU the full amount of the Grant and other funds provided to the Owner from the LGU.
- The covenant shall not violate the law.
- The covenant shall not violate the public policies of the LGU.
