Title
CONTRACT K-1516-48: A CONTRACT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, AND FOOTBALL ACADEMY, INC., FOR THE USE OF GRIFFIN COMMUNITY PARK FOOTBALL FIELDS FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS.
Body
BACKGROUND: Contract Number K-1213-63 with Football Academy, Inc. expires on 11 September 2015. Football Academy, Inc. has provided a flag football program for adults in Norman since 2000. The flag football program operates on Football Fields Three and Four at Griffin Community Park.
DISCUSSION: Contract Number K-1516-48 with Football Academy, Inc. is exactly the same as the previous contract with the exception of Section 9C in which “the City will retain the option to make available Griffin Park Fields three and four to other sports associations during periods when fields are not scheduled for use by Football Academy, Inc. at least two weeks in advance of requested dates. Any field repairs and/or field restriping shall be completed by other users prior to the next scheduled use by Football Academy, Inc.” The prior contract provided for at least a 60 day notice for other sports organizational use, however, tournament scheduling that far in advance proved very difficult. Football Academy, Inc. agrees with this change.
The term of the contract is for a period of three years from the date of City Council approval and may be terminated at any time with a 30 day written notice from either party.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council approve Contract Number K-1516-48 with Football Academy, Inc. for the Use of Griffin Park Football Fields three and four for the Parks and Recreation Department.
