APPROVAL OF AGENDA t
Member Owen made a MOTION to approve the agenda for the January 17th, 2017 Parks Authority meeting,the
motion was seconded by Member Jordan. Motion PASSED on a vote of 7-0.
c
OLD BUSINESS-
1) Abbey Road on the River Contract-The authority was presented with a copy of the Abbey Road on the
River Contract. Member Owen wanted to clarify that the Park's department is not committing people to
the staffing of the event but we are doing the cleanup. Director Northam stated that there were no
employees working the event but the Parks employees would be cleaning up and it would probably be
overtime for the employees. Member Owen asked if we were providing staffing for parking as it says in
the contract on Article 3 item H. Director Northam stated that item h was incorrect and will be marked
out of the contract.
Member Owen Questioned Article 7 item F which granted Visia Star 25%of commission. Director
Northam stated that Star Vista owns 49%of Abbey Road on the River and they want 25%of any sponsors
that they have had previous relationships with in the past. Member Owen's concern was that if they are
already getting 50%of commission that we are splitting with Abbey Road then are they not then getting
75%of certain sponsorships. The Parks Authority agreed and decided to strike item f from the contract.
On Article 8 item F,Abbey Road on the River shall provide the authority with written documentation that
it preformed acceptable accounting and verified the bonuses'outlined in Article 8 and Abbey Road on the
River will cooperate with the accounting.
Member Jordan made a MOTION to approve the amended Abbey Road on the River Contract,the motion
was seconded by Member Kornberg. Motion PASSED on a vote of 7-0.
NEW BUSINESS-
1) Purchase of New Park's truck-The Park's department purchased a new truck with an approved claim and
needed the Authority's final approval. Member Owen made a MOTION to approve the purchase of a
2005 Chevy Silverado from Coyle for$12,000.00,the motion was seconded by Member Kornberg. Motion
PASSED on a vote of 7-0.
2) Claims-Member Owen asked if any member had any concerns with the City Council approving the Park's
Authority claims going forward and that the plan was for the claims to be sent out and if there are any
concerns by the Parks Authority member they will contact Member Owen and he would look into the
claim with the issue. The Park's Authority board members agreed this was the best course of action.
