* Authorize agreement to annex RedTail Golf Course to the City of Beaverton (Ordinance)

The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1.  The Council finds:

1.  The City of Portland owns and operates a municipal golf course, known as RedTail Golf Course, located outside the City limits, in unincorporated Washington County.

2.  The City has entered into a Lease with RedTail Golf LLC, to operate the club house, driving range and other amenities serving the golf course.

3.  Under the terms of the Lease, RedTail Golf LLC is currently investing in substantial improvements to the Lease Premises, and will have the opportunity to propose subsequent tenant improvements for additional amenities to serve the golf course.

4.  RedTail Golf LLC’s current improvements require a connection to a public sewer maintained by the City of Beaverton.

5.  The City of Beaverton has conditioned its approval of the connection upon the City of Portland’s agreement to annex the golf course property, including the Leased Premises, into the City of Beaverton.

6.  Representatives of the City of Beaverton, City of Portland and RedTail Golf LLC have negotiated an agreement, which will provide for the annexation on terms which are advantageous to the City of Portland and to RedTail Golf LLC.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a.  The Commissioner in Charge of Portland Parks & Recreation is authorized to execute, on behalf of the City of Portland, an annexation agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, attached to this Ordinance, once such agreement has been approved as to form by the Office of the City Attorney.

Section 2.    The Council declares that an emergency exists, in order to avoid undue delay to the ongoing construction of improvements at the RedTail Golf Course; therefore, this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
