Approve 13th Annual Blue Water Open Sport FishinQ Tournament at Riverview Park & Agreement on August 4 & 5.2006 (Parks Transmittal. AQreement, Application) The City Manager explained the proposed agreement is the same as last year but with two one-year renewal options. He also explained boat sales were requested in the application but not included in the agreement and he went over exhibit "A". The City Manager requested one amendment to Paragraph 6 to add "east side" of Riverview Park. Warren Dill, Exchange Club, said he had originally requested boat sales and noted that the boat sales are not in the proposed agreement. He said the Exchange Club is a service organization and net proceeds support abused children. The City Manager said he was trying to hold to the four major City functions as advised by Council and not let other events' amenities affect those events. Mr. Dill said he did not think their event would be detrimental to the Clambake because there were only fifteen boats planned and this is a fishing tournament. Eugene Wolff, 757 Wimbrow Drive, asked Council to reconsider Mr. Dill's request and said certainly a fishing tournament would coincide with the City's fishing village theme, and if damage to turf in the park is the concern then have the Club submit a deposit. 4 Regular City Council Meeting February 8, 2006 Page Five Scott Thomas, Home Builders & Contractors of Brevard, asked that Council not deny the Exchange Club based on the two fishing tournaments being requested because his group is not asking for boat sales. Mayor McCollum said he would rather have a one-year agreement and did not agree with providing city property to sell a product. Mr. Burkeen said he did not have a problem with the three-year agreement and would not like to see the sale of any vehicle in the Community Redevelopment District. Ms. Coy said this Council has taken a stance about boat sales and agreed with a one-year agreement. Mr. Neglia agreed with a one-year contract and no boat sales. Ms. Monier said her concern about maintaining the integrity of the four festivals did not entail this type of use. She said people in town are enjoying these events and it is great for the community, and did not have a problem with the boats if the Exchange Club wants to put up a damage deposit. She said if the agreement is to be only one-year, the group should be guaranteed the dates. Mr. Burkeen cited last year's approval for one boat on display and no banners or commercial signs, and Mr. Dill said they could not get any sponsors with that approval. John Conlon, asked how the Clambake can have boat sales and they do not allow anyone else to do so. He reiterated that the dollars go to the Prevention of Child Abuse in the community, and they could make $3,000 more for the children by bringing in these boat sponsors. Mayor McCollum said Council has turned down other events that mimic city events. Mr. Dill said the Exchange Club is having a garage sale at Wal-Mart this Saturday and he invited each Council member to come and buy something. Monica Crowe asked Council to reconsider allowing the boat display to give back to the community. On MOTION by Mr. Burkeen, and SECOND by Ms. Coy, the three-year Exchange Club Blue Water Open "agreement was approved as it stands with amendment to paragraph 6 to add "east side" on a roll call vote of 3-2 (McCollum and Monier- nay) 5 Regular City Council Meeting February 8, 2006 Page Six 06.039 91-94 D.
