Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 9, 2021 <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />First Amendment <br />Facility Lease Agreement Item from 12/18/18 <br />(Clerk's Note: This item was heard prior to Item I1.A., and is placed here for <br />continuity.) <br />County Administrator Jason Brown referred to staffs memorandum dated February <br />1, 2021, to discuss the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Facility <br />Lease Agreement (the Agreement) with Major League Baseball (MLB), doing <br />business as Verotown, LLC (Verotown). He stated that the changes included in the <br />amendment would be beneficial to the County as staff would no longer be <br />responsible for overseeing the projects. He pointed out that the Board would need <br />to waive the requirement for bids in order to allow project management by <br />Verotown, and there would be no changes to the original Financing Plan, approved <br />by the Board on December 18, 2018. <br />Commissioners Earman and Adams stated their satisfaction with the progress being <br />made at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex, formerly known as Historic <br />Dodgertown. Commissioner Moss discussed the County's partnership with MLB, <br />and she received clarification from Administrator Brown on the County's revenue <br />benefit and the purpose of waiving the bid requirements on the projects being <br />managed by Verotown. She voiced her opinion that projects being completed with <br />the use of public funds should go through a public process. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, <br />to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the following vote: <br />Aye: 4 - Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryah, Commissioner Adams, and <br />Commissioner Earman <br />Nay: 1 - Commissioner Moss <br />12.
