AGENDA TITLE: Authorize City Manager to approve rental agreement with Lotus Communications
for use of Grape Bowl (Stadium) and parking lot for soccer game
MEETING DATE: July 17, 2002
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize City Manager to approve rental agreement
with Lotus Communications for use of Grape Bowl (Stadium) and parking
lot for soccer game.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lotus Communications has requested to rent the Grape Bowl
Stadium and parking lot for a professional soccer exhibition game.
The fee for rental of the facility is $5,000 plus 10% of proceeds. These terms are included in the
contract. Lotus Communications desires to sell alcohol at the event and will provide six (6) security
personnel. They have agreed not to sell any beer after the end of half time. The Public Address
(P.A.) system will be used and is anticipated to be from 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Keeping in mind the City goals for cost recovery, Parks and Recreation would like to pursue
opportunities to produce revenue through the use of the Grape Bowl when it is in the City's best interest
to do so. The event, if approved, would occur on July 27, 2002 (Saturday). The game will consist of
two 45 minute halves and one 30 minute half time period.
A rental agreement for this event is attached for Council review and possible approval. Maintenance,
clean up, deposits, capacity requirements, and insurance are all addressed in the agreement. The
parking demands of the event may present a challenge and staff will work with LUSD and the Grape
Festival official to make as much available as possible. Our Police Department and Fire Department
have been informed of this possible event.
