SEC. 2865. LEASE EXTENSION FOR BRYAN MULTI-SPORTS COMPLEX,
WAYNE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.

(a) Authority.--The Secretary of the Air Force may extend
to the City of Goldsboro the existing lease of the
approximately 62-acre Bryan Multi-Sports Complex located in
Wayne County, North Carolina, for the purpose of operating a
sports and recreation facility for the benefit of both the
Air Force and the community.
(b) Duration.--At the option of the Secretary of the Air
Force, the lease entered into under this section may be
extended for up to 30 additional years with a total lease
period not to exceed 50 years.
(c) Payments Under the Lease.--The Secretary of the Air
Force may waive the requirement under section 2667(b)(4) of
title 10, United States Code, with respect to the lease
entered into under this section if the Secretary determines
that the lease enhances the quality of life of members of the
Armed Forces.
(d) Sense of Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate
regarding the conditions governing the extension of the
current lease for the Bryan Multi-Sports Complex that--
(1) the Senate has determined it is in the best interest of
the community and the Air Force to extend the lease at no
cost;
(2) the current lease allowed the Air Force to close their
sports field on Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base and resulted
in a savings of $15,000 per year in utilities and grounds
maintenance costs;
(3) the current sports complex reduces force protection
vulnerability now that the sports complex is located outside
the fence line of the installation; and
(4) the facility has improved the quality of life for
military families stationed at Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base
by allowing members of the Armed Forces and their families to
have access to world class sports facilities located adjacent
to the installation and on-base privatized housing with easy
access by junior enlisted members residing in the dorms.
