Nonprofit seeks (essentially free) lease of county parking lot every saturday over the course of 6 months. Lease (out for bid) - or license (no need for bids or auction) under building use policy? If the nonprofit runs a market of locally produced goods (for-profit vendors pay nonprofit for market spaces/booths) -doesn't promotion of local products/business need to be a county public purpose for it to meet the constitutional test? (County has not adopted an economic development program.) Doesn't the public purpose always have to be a COUNTY public purpose?
