At Chairman Adams' request, the term Spring Training Home Games (page 213 of the backup)was explained by Mr. Reid and Mr. Callan.

He explained that is to be determined in the future and the flexibility rests with the County as long as it does not conflict with scheduled games.

If provided, the Dodgers would provide those services at their cost. Approval by the Dodgers for any County request could not be conditioned on a fee payment. The effects of force majeure were discussed and Mr. Reid explained in detail how losses would be handled.
