SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve an amendment to the sponsorship agreement between ESPN Productions, Inc. (EPI) and the City of Clearwater to host the third year of the agreement in February 2022 rather than 2021 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
On September 6, 2018, the City Council approved a three-year production sponsorship agreement with ESPN Productions, Inc. to host three softball events at E.C. Moore Softball Complex.
February 2019 was the first event of the three-year council-approved agreement to host the signature event “ESPN Elite Invitational” at Eddie C. Moore Complex. In 2021, which would have been the third year of the agreement, the event was canceled due to travel restrictions placed on many of the Division 1 collegiate softball programs.
This amendment allows EPI and the City of Clearwater to complete the three-year agreement by moving the date to a mutually agreed upon date in February of 2022. The amendment also clarifies language related to Covid related safety measures that EOI has added into their agreements.
