Some of the Commission's concerns were:
1. A higher percentage rate for profits over one million dollars.
2. Define the phrase "trade fixtures" in paragraph #12.
3. That our staff conduct a quarterly audit rather than an annual audit
for the term of the lease.
4. Delete the phrase "major catastrophe" from the lease in paragraph #7.
Staff will work out these changes in the lease.
Moved by Mr. Lewis, supported by Mr. Vogt to approve a 20 year lease
agreement with Oakland Golf Dome, Inc. for the development of a recreation
center at the Red Oaks Golf Dome including miniature golf, mini -car track,
batting cages, golf driving range, putting green and child's play area based
on some minor changes defining the assets; and including a provision on rental
rates that any gross revenues over one million dollars would increase the
Commission's percentage to 10%.
