Mr. Wolfe said no. The City has the ability each year, to extend this contract up to four <br />additional years. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky believed this clarification needed to be made to Sections 2.01 and 2.02 of <br />the contract. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fialho pointed out that this is an annual contract and is subject to termination at the <br />conclusion of each fiscal year. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky inquired about the cancellation and default sections of the contract. He <br />believed there were discrepancies between Section 2.01 and Section 11.01 of the contract as <br />Section 11.01 included some penalties if the City did not renew this contract before the three- <br />year term had been completed. <br /> <br /> Ms. McGovern pointed out that Section 2.01 of the contract did not state that this <br />contract is subject to annual review. The contract states that the term of this agreement shall <br />commence on May 4, 2005 and continue until July 1, 2005 and for four operating years after. <br /> <br /> Leonard Cooper, a Pleasanton resident, mentioned that currently tennis players could <br />only make reservations for a court two days in advance. He asked if this could be changed. He <br />noted that participation in the game of tennis is being a member of the USPTA Team. <br />Pleasanton has three or four teams at the Tennis and Community Park that call it their "home." <br />When it is Pleasanton's turn to host a match, three or four courts will need to be made available. <br />Typically these tournaments are held on Saturday or Sunday mornings. He asked if <br />reservations could be made in advance as soon as the schedule for the year is available? He <br />supported the idea and the opportunity to form a Pleasanton Community Tennis Association, <br />which would be a liaison between the tennis players and Lifetime Tennis, Inc. He referred to <br />Section 7.03 of the contract, which states that compensation to Lifetime Tennis, Inc., for lessons <br />shall be based on the resident rate, regardless of a player's resident or nonresident status. He <br />asked if the extra revenue gained for nonresidents would remain with the City? <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolfe said yes. <br /> <br /> Tom Murphy, a Pleasanton resident, said his major concern was related to the term of <br />the contract. He did not believe the contract allowed for an annual escape clause. He <br />reiterated that the contract needed to be subject to an annual review, which would protect the <br />City. He emphasized that USPTA league play is important to the community and many avid <br />tennis players are involved, and there is an interest in protecting this type of play. He asked if <br />staff conducted a background check on Lifetime Tennis, Inc? <br /> <br /> Mayor Hosterman closed the public comments. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolfe said staff conducted a background on Lifetime Tennis, Inc. This company is <br /> based in Cupertino and Cupertino City staff had a positive experience with Lifetime Tennis Inc, <br /> in terms of the operation and service provided to the players. <br /> <br /> In response to an inquiry by Mr. Brezosky, Mr. Gill said 48 hours is typically the least <br /> amount of time offered from a reservation standpoint. Typically the maximum amount of time <br /> allowed for reservations is seven days. He was a proponent of allowing players to set their <br /> schedule. The way reservations are currently handled, needs to be reviewed and the <br /> community needs to be involved to see if as a majority, they want to see an extended time <br /> frame. He pointed out that the purpose of the two nonreservation courts is strictly for the <br /> <br /> Pleasanton City Council 16 05/17/05 <br /> Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
