Request to Approve Termination of Coveleski Parking Lot Agreement with Hope Ministries-Bill Carleton Mr. Carleton explained that Hope Ministries has had a lease to park staff automobiles in the southwest parking lot at Coveleski Stadium since 2003. It was brought to our attention that because of the current construction on the batting complex at the stadium, that parking lot is not available. We have attempted to find them alternate parking in the area and in the process found that because of a change in building ordinances, Hope Ministries no longer needs to have a minimum number of parking spaces available at their facility. In light of this, it has been mutually agreed to terminate the lease agreement for parking at Coveleski Stadium. Mr. BonDurant made a motion to approve the request to terminate the parking lease at Coveleski Stadium with Hope Ministries. Ms. Hill seconded the motion and it was passed. VI.
