Courts 5 and 6 are planned to be resurfaced in 2020. The courts do have some
cracking and would need attention to prevent it from worsening. Pickleball lines have
recently been added to the courts to accommodate this fast-growing activity. The
facility also has some bleachers and backboards that should either be replaced or

maintained near the courts as there are in many other parks. The courts are open to
the public year-round. Private groups may reserve the courts with the Parks and
Recreation Department for a fee. The Parks and Recreation Department has maintained an

South Park Cemetery conducts burial services throughout the week and works
with the city’s three funeral homes to schedule these services. Services are
conducted from 9 to 3 Monday to Friday and 9 to 11 Saturday. Staff is available
during this time to conduct services. Currently, any services that occur outside of
these hours are charged the Weekend and Overtime Burial Fee in addition to the
Open and Close Fee. The Weekend and Overtime Burial Fee no longer covers
the expense incurred by the department to come in after hours. Additionally, staff
must mobilize equipment and utilize fuel to conduct the services. In the
circumstances that after hours services occur, the fee will properly support the
activities of the department allowing the Cemetery to continue to provide quality
service to the citizens of Roswell. Mr. Esquivel said that due to the size of the
increase, the department will work with the funeral homes to accommodate
services during normal hours as much as possible. The department will also
notify the funeral homes of the change and implement it accordingly. The current
weekend and Overtime Burial Fee is $200. The proposed fee is $700. This will
help to properly support the services being provided by the department when
these services are conducted. In the future, the department will review its fees
more regularly to ensure the fees are keeping pace with the expenses of the
department. Councilor Oropesa move to send Resolution XX-XX to full City
Council. Councilor Roebuck was the second. A voice vote was 3-0, and the
motion passed with Councilor Moore being absent.

anticipated opening of the facility, based on the construction schedule.
Programming is also being compiled to align with our Summer season for recreation. We
will work closely with the Aquatic Facility Management Team to develop and prepare
the aquatic programming. This schedule continues to shift with the instructors that are
able to teach our classes.
5. Updated Fees to Match Service Model: Completed, Pool Fees – In Progress
Council recently approved the Recreation fees to align with our service model. These

and the new advertising group to prepare our various marketing elements including the
branding, logos, website setup, and other items.

needing to request access from a front desk staff.

Invaders shall provide a copy of a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverages
within ten (10) days of execution of this Lease, and annually thereafter, which shall name
City as an additional insured. Said policy of insurance shall provide for notice of twenty
(20) days to City in the event of cancellation for non-payment or any other reason. The
failure to maintain policies of insurance as provided above or to provide the City with
certificates of insurance as provided herein shall be a default under paragraph 12 of this
Lease.
In addition, Invaders shall, at Invaders’ sole cost and expense, maintain in full force
and effect an alcohol liability insurance policy (also called "dram shop" coverage) with
liability limits in amounts no less than $1,000,000 combined single limit of liability for bodily
injury, including death, and property damage in any one occurrence. The City shall be
named an additional insured and the coverage afforded shall be primary with respect to
operations covered.
XI. CONDEMNATION OR GOVERNMENTAL TAKING:
In the event that the Stadium Complex or any portion thereof shall be condemned
for public or quasi-public purpose, or shall be taken by any governmental authority in any
manner whatsoever during the term hereof, the parties hereto agree to the following:
In the event that the Stadium Complex shall be totally condemned or taken, or
condemned or taken so as to render the remainder thereof unusable for purposes for
which the Stadium Complex was leased, this Lease shall terminate as of the effective
date of such condemnation or taking.
In the event that a portion of the Stadium Complex is condemned or taken, but
such condemnation or taking does not render the remainder thereof unusable for the
purposes for which the Stadium Complex was leased, Invaders’ obligation under this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the amount of rent payable by Invaders
shall be reduced in the proportion which the portion of the Stadium Complex condemned
or taken bears to the total area of the Stadium Complex. In such event, Invaders shall
bear any necessary costs of relocating its equipment and placing the remaining Stadium
Complex in proper and usable condition.
In the event of total or partial condemnation or taking of the Stadium Complex as
aforesaid, all compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the Stadium
Complex shall belong to City and Invaders shall have no right or cause of action against
City; provided, however that Invaders shall be entitled to participate in any award to the
extent that such award includes the loss, if any, sustained by Invaders as a result of the
Page 5 of 10
16
termination of this Lease or diminution of its leasehold estate and the value of any fixtures
condemned or taken if such fixtures were installed by Invaders and are located upon the
Stadium Complex at the time of such condemnation or taking. Invaders reserves the right
to proceed independently of City with any claim for compensation for damages to which
Invaders may become entitled by reason of such total or partial condemnation or taking.
XII. CONDITIONS OF DEFAULT:
If at any time during the term of this Lease, Invaders shall:
1. Default in the payment of rent or any other sums specifically to be paid by
Invaders hereunder and such default shall not have been cured within ten (10)
days after City shall have given to Invaders written notice specifying such
default; or
2. Default in the observance of any of the Invaders’ covenants, agreements or
obligations hereunder, other than the covenants to pay rent or any other sum
herein specified to be paid by Invaders, and such default shall not have been
cured within thirty (30) days after City shall have given to Invaders written notice
specifying such default; provided, however, that if the default complained of
shall be of such nature that the same cannot be completely remedied or cured
within such thirty (30) day period, then such default shall not be an enforceable
default against Invaders for the purposes of this paragraph if Invaders shall
have commenced curing such default within such thirty (30) day period and
shall proceed with reasonable diligence and in good faith to remedy the default
complained of; or
3. Finally and without further possibility of appeal or review (1.) be adjudicated
bankrupt or insolvent, (2.) have a receiver or trustee appointed for all or
substantially all of its business or assets, or (3.) suffer an order to be entered
approving a petition filed against Invaders seeking reorganization of Invaders
under the Federal Bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the
United States or any state thereof; or
4. Make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement
under the Federal Bankruptcy law or other applicable law or statute of the
United States or any state thereof, or shall file a petition to take advantage of
any insolvency act or shall assent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee of
all or a substantial part of its business and property; or

consecutive days and such lack of use shall continue for thirty (30) days after

XIII. REMEDIES OF CITY FOR DEFAULT:
If Invaders is in default of this Lease, then City shall have the following remedies:
Page 6 of 10
17
1. City may sue to collect any and all sums which may accrue to City by virtue of
the provisions of this Lease and/or for any and all damage that may accrue by
virtue of the breach of this Lease, Invaders hereby waiving all demands for rent;
2. City may sue to restrain by injunction any violation or threatened violation of
the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease;
3. City may, without further notice to Invaders and without further demand for rent
due or for the observance or performance of any of said terms, conditions or
agreements, immediately re-enter the Stadium Complex by force or otherwise,
without being liable therefore, and remove all persons and property there from,
using such force as may be necessary. If this Lease shall be terminated before
its expiration by reason of Invaders’ default, or if the Invaders shall abandon or
vacate said Stadium Complex before the expiration of the term of this Lease,
the same may be re-rented by City (but City shall not be obligated so to do) for
such rent and upon such terms as City may see fit and Invaders shall stand
liable to City for any deficiency. Any costs incurred in storing Invaders’ property
shall be considered additional damages recoverable by City.
4. If Invaders shall at any time be in default in fulfilling any of the covenants of the
Lease, City may, but shall not be obligated so to do, and without notice to or
demand upon Invaders, take or cause to be taken such action or make such
payment as may be required by such covenant, at Invaders’ risk and expense,
and all expenses, costs and liabilities of City incurred under this paragraph shall
be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be payable to City on demand
together with interest thereon at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum.
5. The remedies of City hereunder shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
other remedy hereunder or to which City may be lawfully entitled. The failure of
City to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease or
to exercise any option herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of such or any other covenant or option, nor shall
the receipt by City of rent with knowledge of any default by Invaders, or any
other action of City except a waiver expressed in writing signed by City, be
deemed a waiver of such default, nor shall the acceptance of any sum of rental
less than the sum provided for in this Lease alter the rental terms hereof or
absolve Invaders from its obligation to pay the full rental herein provided, but
the acceptance of any lesser sum than the full rent herein stipulated shall be
an acceptance of the amount paid on account of the full rent due.
XIV. LEGAL FEES:
If any person not a party to this Lease shall institute an action against Invaders in
which City shall be made a party defendant, Invaders shall indemnify, defend and save
City harmless from all liabilities, loss damage and expense by reason thereof, including
reasonable attorney’s fees and all reasonable costs incurred by City in such action. If any
Page 7 of 10
18
action shall be brought to recover any rental under this Lease, or for or on account of any
other default/breach of or to enforce or interpret any of the terms, covenants or conditions
of this Lease, or for the recovery of possession of the Premises, City shall be entitled to
recover from Invaders all reasonable attorney fees and costs.
XV. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE:
Invaders shall not assign this Lease, in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part
of the Stadium Complex.
XVI. INTERPRETATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT:
Nothing in this Lease shall be construed or interpreted as limiting, relinquishing or
waiving of any rights of ownership enjoyed by City in the Stadium Complex; or waiving or
limiting City’s authority or control over the management, operation or maintenance of
property, except as specifically provided for in this Lease; or impairing governmental
rights and police powers of City.
