terms and conditions being acceptable to the City of Pontiac, Oakland County
and the Pontiac Stadium Building Authority.

of Commissioners is hereby directed to appoint a 3-member negotiation team to
meet with the City of Pontiac and Pontiac Stadium Building Authority to formulate
said contract.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that no funds shall be advanced until such time as
