terms for the next five years to be renegotiated at the end of the first five
years; 50% of utilities and 100% of interior building maintenance, ie, pro
shop, locker room and all common areas.

Department be asked to inspect the building before the Parks and Recreation
Commission assumes ownership of the premises and for The Oaks to list in the
contract, the specifics involved for maintenance of the interior of the facility.
