Committee recommends updated 5-year agreement for Coeur d'Alene Junior Tackle at Persons Field
Summary
The committee recommended council approve a five-year agreement and lease with Coeur d'Alene Junior Tackle Football Association covering Persons Field and an associated pole building, beginning at $2,000 per year with 5% annual increases; utilities for the building will be paid by the association.
The General Services Public Works Committee on Feb. 10 recommended that city council approve an updated five-year agreement and lease with the Coeur d'Alene Junior Tackle Football Association for use of Persons Field and an associated pole building.
Adam, the city’s recreation superintendent, told the committee the association’s separate lease for the pole building and the field use will be combined into one agreement and one fee. He said the contract would start at $2,000 per year with a 5% increase each year thereafter and that the association would be responsible for utilities for the building because it is the building’s sole user.
Committee members asked for the number of students the program serves; Adam said he did not have a current figure from Bob Fitzgerald, whom he identified as the association’s president. Adam said the organization has been growing and that teams use many neighborhood parks across the city.
A committee member moved to recommend approval of the updated agreement and lease; a second was called and the committee voted by voice in favor. The meeting record shows “Motion carries” but no roll-call tally is provided in the transcript.
The agreement updates an expired arrangement and seeks to provide the association stability for field and building use under a single five-year term. The transcript does not record enforcement provisions, insurance requirements, or other contract language beyond fee, term and utility responsibility details.
