BASEBALL CLUB - CITY NEGOTIATIONS - After extensive review and
renegotiations, the Committee and the Baseball Club carne to an agree-
ment, shook hands and requested the City Attorney to provide the docu-
ment necessary to present to the Mayor and Council on December 22.
The following major changes are to be incorporated in the agreement
along with those minor points in the previous agreement that were not
in conflict. The direction given was to write the agreement to make
certain the City was protected in all circumstances:
A three-year agreement was reached with the Baseball Club. The
Club will guarantee $35,000 the first year, $36,775 the second and
$38,550 the third plus 5% of all gross revenue over $560,000 per year.
The Club would also pay $1,500 per month (rental of Clubhouse) for X
months (minimum of six months).
The City agreed to put in seating to bring total number of seats
to 2,800 at a cost of $210,000 and construct a Clubhouse for $150,000,
the total amount to be funded from the 1% IDB economic development
fees with a stipulation to protect the City if the team leaves, fails
or changes hands. If the team moves or is sold, they will pay the
depreciated value of capital improvements. If the agreement is ter-
minated or does not renew for X beyond year 3, the team would payoff
the depreciated value of the capital improvements.
Non-exclusive use. The City would have rights to hold special
events such as the Twin Counties function. The Club would be allowed
15 dates per year in or out of the February 10 - September 15 time
period for special events with the City's approval. The City would
receive 5% of the gross revenue of these events. All related services
beyond custodial/maintenance services normally provided for the 71
games would be provided and paid for by the Club.

The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department assures
the Committee that all youth teams that used the team in the past have
been accommodated elsewhere.
