It is similar to an agreement that was approved last year. Mr. Mullins made a motion to approve the agreement. Mr. BonDurant seconded the motion and it was approved. 3. Request to Approve Re-Platting and Transfer of Coveleski Stadium Real Estate- Director St. Clair Director St. Clair explained that in light of the construction of the batting complex outside the right field fence at the Coveleski Stadium, a number of pieces of property around the stadium need to be re-platted. Mr. Mike Currier, surveyor for Jones Petri and Rafmski, explained that lots around the stadium are owned by the Redevelopment Commission and the Park Department. The lot that the batting complex is being constructed on will be deeded to Swing Batter Swing,LLC, the owner of the team. Should they ever give up ownership of the team, this lot will revert back to ownership of the Park Department. In order to do this, a number of large and small lots around the stadium will be re-platted to combine them into several larger lots and separate the batting complex lot from the others. The other lots will be combined and deeded to the Redevelopment Commission. At some time in the fixture the area around the stadium will be transferred back to Park Department ownership. It is hoped to have this finished by January 15, 2015. Mr. Mullins made a motion to approve the request to the re-platting of the lots and the transfer of ownership to the Redevelopment Commission with the intent that ownership will revert to the Park Department at a later date and that Director St. Clair be named the signatory for the Board. Mr. BonDurant seconded the motion and it was passed. VI.
