The City aerees m:

2. Have the Police Department provide sufficient patrols to assist the Boosters with the flow of traffic and parking around JRS.
3. Make random counts of all automobiles parked in the City's lots. Copies of submitted bank: deposit slips and random counts will

4. Collect from the Phillies at the conclusion of the season, $3.00 for each season ticket holder utilizing the "reserved" lot for each

4. Charge $3.00 ($2.79 plus $.21 sales tax) for each automobile parked at the designated facilities, with the exception of the
reserved lot.
5. Make individual bank deposits covering all money collected for each game played at the Stadium, and submit copies of each
bank deposit slip to the City.
6. Remit to the City, within 30 days following the end of the season, a draft or check covering the total percentage payment: (7%)
of the gross revenues collected for payment of State sales tax, and (30%) of the remaining revenues as the City's portion of the
parking concession. The remaining (70%) of the revenues will be retained by the Boosters as their portion of the concession.
7. Provide for the orderly parking of vehicles in the "reserved" parking lot. No money will be collected for this lot as it is reserved
for season ticket holders (see City Agrees to....#4).
8. Hold fifty (50) parking spaces fronting on Phillies Drive, which shall be free and for the use of the officials, players, press,
visiting officials, and groundskeepers. The owner of each of these vehicles shall display an authorized identification placard.

personal injury and property damage claims that might arise. The Boosters shall provide evidence of this policy to the City prior
to the start of their parking commitment.
10. Attend a brief training meeting with City and Phillies staff, as scheduled by the Parks & Recreation Department, prior to the
start of the Spring Training season.
It is understood that for the 1999 Spring Training Season, Clearwater High School's Band Boosters have the first option on which
one-third (1/3) of the schedule they would like to work, and they have selected the last five (5) scheduled games (3/26-4/01); they
have declined to work the extra game as they hadthe option on that also. Countryside High School has the second option on which
games they would like to work, and have chosen the middle one-third of the games (3/l6-Tampa Bay, 3/l7-Toronto, 3/l9-Texas,
3/2l-Clevelanel, and 3/25-Boston). They have also elected to work the extra game, which is on March 4th, versus USF. The
Greenwood Panthers will work the remaining one-third (1/3) of the games (3/05-3/14). We will alternate the option each year.
Please be aware that there might still be some changes in the Phillies schedule, primarily changing a day game or two to the evening.
Please sign this document and return one original for our records. I have enclosed art additional copy for your records.
