Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with Bethany Lutheran College for use of ISG Field at Franklin Rogers Park.
Recommendation/Action(s):
Adoption of the attached resolution
Summary:
Bethany Lutheran College (BLC) has long hosted their baseball program at ISG Field at Franklin Rogers Park. BLC has supported many improvements to the field and facility, and they have been a steady community partner.
Bethany Lutheran College (BLC) utilizes storage space under the grandstand and shares the 1st base locker room with the Mankato MoonDogs since their seasons do not overlap. These spaces are rented according to this agreement with both a permitted use rent and storage space rent. BLC is also responsible for a per-game rental fee.
The responsibilities of BLC and the City are included in this agreement. BLC is responsible for keeping the facility clean and orderly; maintaining security during their usage of the space; and notifying the City of any needs, problems or broken equipment. The City is responsible for maintaining the field at a safe and playable level; maintaining and cleaning all facilities; and providing access to the facility to BLC. This updated agreement has been reformatted to match the BLC softball agreement and other recreational usage agreements the City manages and is written for one term of three years, commencing on January 1, 2026, and concluding on December 31, 2028.
Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution.
