P. The obligations set forth in the Interim Agreement and the First through Nin th Amendments have been included in prior Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule s (ROPS) approved by the Successor Agency, the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency, the Countywide Oversight Board for Riverside County (“Oversight Board”) and the Department of Finance (“DOF”).
Q. The 2020 and 2021 baseball season s suffered tremendous challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Minor League baseball 2020 seas on was cancelled, the 2021 season modified and Stadium operations overall were significantly restricte d. Major League Baseball (MLB) engaged in a sweeping overhaul of the player development structure during the 2020 off - season, eliminating the National Association of Profe ssional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) as the governing structure and cutting approximately twenty- five percent (25%) of minor league affiliates. Remaining af filiates, including the Storm, now contract directly with MLB under a new Player Develo pment License agreement aimed at modernizing facilities and improving player training and logistics. In this restructure the Storm has been designated as a “Class A.” R. The impacts of COVID-19, MLB’s restructuring in 2020, the revised operational and capital requirements and facilities standards established by MLB in the Player Development License, enhanced cleaning requirements, increases in minimum wage and persistent inflationary pressures have affected S tadium operations. T hese impacts must be add ressed in the Stadium operations budget assumptions and projections for the continued efficient and cost eff ective management, maintenance and operation of the Premises in accordance with the Stadium Operations Contracts and the Interim Agreement . In order to provide certainty to the Successor Agency and the Storm through the 2025 baseball season, the parties desire to enter into t his Tenth Amendment.
S. The Stadium Operations Contracts and the covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations set forth in the Of fer to Donate remain enforceable obligations wit hin the meaning of Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34171(d)(1)(E) and the Successor Agency seeks to (1) provide for the continued efficient and cost effective management , maintenance and operation of the Premises , and (2) retain the Storm, which pos sesses the experience and qualifications to continue to carry out such obligations. Engagement of the Storm is necessary and c onsistent with the legislativ e authorization contained in HSC Section 34171(d)(1) (F) allowing successor agencies to enter into en forceable obligations for the purpose of maintain ing the assets of the former Redevelopment Agency and to ensure that the “ Lake Elsinore Storm ,” owned by Storm LP , continues to play its home baseball games at the Stadium in accordance with the Stadium Operations Contracts.
T. Capital repairs for the period commencing October 1 , 2024 through September 30, 2025 necessary to address increased costs, scheduling dela ys, emergency repairs, new MLB requirements for minor league audit and facilities standards as neces sary to protect the structural components and operational systems of the th irty (30) year old Stadium and to protect the safety of the players and the spectators consistent with applicable laws and MLB standards are set forth in Exhibit “C” to this Tenth Amendment.
U. In accordance with HSC Section 34177(o)(1), the Successor Agency adopt ed and submitted to DOF a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) for the period from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 which includes the Successor Agency obligations set forth in Tenth Amendment.122823.doc
