BACKGROUND: Representatives working with TABLE Ministries, Inc. approached Orange County staff about the potential use of land-banked future County park land to increase current production of vegetables and fruits for distribution by TABLE to needy families in Orange County. TABLE and a local farmer are currently engaged in the production of organic produce on a '/2- acre plot near Carrboro, and are in need to land to expand production capability. TABLE representatives and staff identified a three-acre area known as the "meadow" at the future Twin Creeks Park site as a location where agricultural production could be undertaken for some period of time. Twin Creeks Park is currently not scheduled for construction until 2035, and thus may be available for agricultural use at the present time. The attached draft License Agreement between the County and TABLE would enable this area, as shown on Exhibit A of the Agreement, to be used for production of organic vegetables and fruits to expand the food distribution provided to local families with children, as shown in the attached program description from TABLE. The Agreement would allow for this activity to occur beginning June 1, 2025 for three (3) years. TABLE will be responsible for needed infrastructure improvements for the operation to the site, and will manage the use of the property to be only for the purposes described herein. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed facility use agreement includes a nominal usage fee of$100 per year to be paid to the County. TABLE would be responsible for infrastructure improvements needed for the agricultural activity and is otherwise responsible for operation of the site as outlined in the agreement. There are no County expenditures involved in the proposed license agreement. 2 ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: • GOAL 1: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CLIMATE ACTION OBJECTIVE 4. Incentivize and promote sustainable agriculture and local food systems development through supportive policy, funding, farmland protection and educational outreach. • GOAL 2: HEALTHY COMMUNITY OBJECTIVE 7. Invest in services and programs that improve the health and quality of life of the community (e.g., recreation and public open spaces, arts, etc.) RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the license agreement with TABLE Ministries, Inc., and authorize the Manager to sign the Agreement pending final approval by the County Attorney. 3 State of North Carolina Orange County License Agreement Between TABLE Ministries,Inc And Orange County THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made and entered into as of June 1, 2025 by and between Orange County, a political subdivision of the State of North Carolina ("COUNTY), and TABLE Ministries, Inc., a 501(c)(3) incorporated in the State of North Carolina("TABLE").
