11. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S MATTERS <br />1 1.A. HISTORIC DODGERTOWN FACILITY LEASE AGREEMENT AND RELATED <br />DOCUMENTS <br />(Clerk's Note: This item was heard prior to Item 5.A, and is placed here for continuity.) <br />County Administrator Joe Baird presented for Board approval the Facility Lease <br />Agreement and all other necessary documents to transfer the Capital Lease Agreement to the <br />Minor League Baseball. He reminded the Board of the terms of the Lease Agreement and <br />acknowledged the presence of Messrs. Pat O'Conner and Craig Callan who were available for <br />questions, if there were any. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan displayed a Poster of the 161 affiliates of Minor League Baseball <br />(MiLB) and thought it was impressive to have these partners in the community. He spoke of <br />certain pleasing terms of the contract, like the name retention of "Holman Stadium", and was <br />proud the County was bringing MiLB in as a partner. He acknowledged and commended Mr. <br />Craig Callan's hard work on the County's behalf. <br />Commissioner Solari thought this was a great deal for the community and much better <br />than the Orioles deal. The following were his concerns: <br />(1) In the paragraph stating the funds we would give to MiLB as a promotion as a tourist <br />destination, he wants a sentence that states MiLB would give us some accounting for those <br />funds; and (2) in Section 4.03 that discusses operation, and which states that "MiLB shall <br />provide and pay for, solely from funds of MiLB or the Capital Reserve Account,..." he had a <br />problem figuring out what payments from the Capital Reserve Account goes into the operations <br />of the facility, and wanted the words "the Capital Reserve Account" struck out. <br />May 19, 2009 25 <br />
