AGENDA STAFF REPORT

DATE:

April 15, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY:

Julian Lee, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY:

Mark Flores, Director of Recreation & Community Services SUBJECT:

ACCEPTANCE OF 2025 DODGERS DREAMTEAM YOUTH

BASEBALL/SOFTBALL GRANT PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Agenda Item # 9.2.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled, “A

RESOLUTION OF THE LYNWOOD CITY COUNCIL APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS FOUNDATION FOR THE 2025 DODGERS DREAMTEAM LYNWOOD YOUTH BASEBALL & SOFTBALL PROGRAM.”
Background:

The Recreation & Community Services Department applied for 2025 grant funding from the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF). An approved proposal allows the City to continue its partnership as a Dodgers Dreamteam affiliate youth baseball and softball program. The LADF has notified staff that its application was successful and the partnership will continue for the 2025 Lynwood Youth Baseball & Softball (LYBS) Spring and Summer seasons. Staff is requesting that the City Council formally accept the grant through adoption of accompanying Resolution.

Discussion and Analysis:

The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF), a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, has approved a partnership and grant to support the 2025 Dodgers Dreamteam (formerly “
Dodgers RBI
”) Lynwood Youth Baseball & Softball (LYBS) program with the City of Lynwood. The Recreation & Community Services Department’s LYBS program has formally been approved as an affiliate of the LADF yearly since January of 2018, through a competitive application process.

City Council City Council Regular Meeting 419
The Lynwood program continues to be recognized as the largest and most successful individual program supported by the LADF. After a complete, COVID-related cancelation of game-play in 2020 and a pandemic-modified program in 2021, the 2022 program returned to a traditional baseball/softball program. The 2023 program successfully met its target participation and execution goals and set the grounds for justifying larger programs for the 2024 and 2025 Spring/Summer seasons.

2023 Grant Program Summary
Registration slots approved: 576
Grant Amount of $39,960

2024 Grant Program Summary
Registration slots approved: 636 (Increase of 60 players over 2023) Registration fee of $15/player

Grant Amount of $42,930 (increase of $1,620 over 2024)
Younger Age divisions begin play beginning of May 2024
Older Age divisions begin play June 2024

Per the grant’s requirements, $15,930 of the approved $42,930 in total grant funds shall be used to offset field maintenance, program operations and management, umpire fees, and to subsidize participant fees. The remaining balance of $27,000 is required to be used to fund a temporary, part-time “
Dreamteam

Coordinator
” dedicated to the program.

In addition to the grant funds, the Recreation & Community Services Department will receive player uniforms, equipment, recruitment flyers, marketing banners, educational & health resources for players and families, coaches training, player development clinics and incentives/giveaways, use of an online registration system and access to Dodger-sponsored special events throughout the season.

Via adoption of the accompanying Resolution, staff is requesting that the City Council, formally accept the grant; authorize the Mayor/City Manager and/or designee to sign the grant memorandum of understanding and related grant documents; direct the Human Resources City Council City Council Regular Meeting 420

Lynwood, CA 90262

RE: Support for 2025 Dodgers Dreamteam program with the City of Lynwood, Recreation and Community Services Department

Dear Mr. Flores,

It is my pleasure to inform you that The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (the “Foundation” or “LADF”), has approved a grant to support the Dodgers Dreamteam program (the “Program”) with the City of Lynwood, Recreation and Community Services Department, a government entity (the “Grantee”) in the amount of forty two thousand, nine hundred and thirty dollars ($42,930.00) (the “Grant”). This Grant will offset field maintenance and umpire fees ($15,930.00) along with providing funding for a Dodgers Dreamteam Coordinator ($27,000.00).

This Grant is to support 708 youth players at 1 location for the Grantee’s program referred to as the 2025 Dodgers Dreamteam program (See Addendum 1 for approved number of players and locations).

In addition to the Grant funds, Grantee will receive the in -kind contribution of uniforms, equipment, recruitment and marketing flyers, banners for each location, edu cational and health resources and services, coach mentors (Field Champions) , coaches training, player development clinics , incentives/giveaways, and required use of LeagueApps, the online registration syste m, and access to special events throughout the season. Grantee can charge no more than fifteen dollars ($15) per player.

This Grant is contingent upon the Grantee complying with the Dodgers Dreamteam program Requirements (Addendum 2).

NOTE: Organizations will receive 60% of the Program grant which includes the full amount for the Dodgers Dreamteam Coordinator (contingent upon when LADF is notified that this person is hired) in June 2025. Organizations will receive the remaining balance in September 2025.

**If the Program has multiple locations with different start dates, the latest start date will be used for payment schedule.**

To receive the remaining 40% of the grant funds, the following must be completed by Grantee:

a. Ensure registrations for players and coaches are input into LeagueApps. This must be completed prior to any practice or game.
b. Complete team rosters on LeagueApps prior to any practice or game. Each team roster should include the youth participants and coaches.
c. Provide complete schedules for the season prior to the first day of games. Grantee is required to use the LeagueApps platform.
d. Ensure that all excess uniform sets and coach polos are returned to LADF within 15 days of the Grantee’s final game.
e. Complete an equipment inventory sheet within 15 days of the league’s last games. f. To receive 100% of the grant amount, partners must reach at least 90% of approved preseason player projections evidenced in the LeagueApps platform 15 days after the final game. For any variance greater than 10%, the grant will be reduced by the equivalent amount. Please note this reduction will not include the Dodgers Dreamteam Coordinator funds. For example, if Grantee projects 1,000 players and only 850 players are registered on LeagueApps, the TOTAL grant amount will be reduced by 15% and deducted from the 40% grant payment. If projections are increased after approval by LADF, the new number will be used to determine final season grant calculations.

The Grantee was required to attend the Dodgers Dreamteam Partners Meeting at Dodger Stadium on January 22, 2025 and the Dodgers Dreamteam Affiliate Partner Training January 28, 2025 - January 30, 2025. The Grantee is also required to attend the Partners Recap Meeting to be scheduled after the end of the season.

This letter is a legally binding agreement (the “Grant Agreement”). This Grant Agreement will become effective upon the Foundation’s receipt of the Grant Agreement signed by an authorized representative of the Grantee. Please keep a copy of this Grant Agreement for your files.

Please read the terms and conditions of this Grant Agreement very carefully. The Foundation may withhold payment to the Grantee if the Grantee fails to meet the terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement.

PLEASE READ THIS LIKENESS AUTHORIZATION AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY (“RELEASE”) CAREFULLY. BY AGREEING TO THIS RELEASE, YOU WILL BE WAIVING LEGAL RIGHTS.

In consideration for allowing me and/or any child(ren) under eighteen (18) years old or any legally incapacitated adult(s) for whom I am the parent/guardian (each, a “ Participant”; and collectively the “Participants”) to participate in the “Dodgers Dreamteam” program from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (the “Program”), staged by The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (the “Foundation”), I, for myself and on behalf of all of the other Participants and our parents, heirs, executors, administrators, next of kin, successors, and assigns, all of whom shall be legally bound by this Release, hereby agree as follows:

1. I am eighteen (18) years of age or older. I, for myself and on behalf of all of the other Participants, acknowledge that we are not required to participate in the Program and that our participation is voluntary and solely for our enjoyment. We understand that we can withdraw from the Program at any time. Neither I nor any of the other Participants, nor anyone acting on our behalf, will be compensated by the Foundation for our participation in the Program. Neither I nor any of the other Participants, nor anyone acting on our behalf, has not been promised employment by the Foundation for participating in the Program.

2. We understand and acknowledge that baseball and softball are action sports and that natural and/or man -made conditions may exist on the surface of baseball and softball fields or in connection with the games of baseball and softball that may present a significant risk of personal injury to us and/or damage to our property. We also understand and acknowledge that our participation in the Program may require us to engage in strenuous and/or potentially dangerous activities. Neither I nor any of the other Participants are aware of any reason, medical or otherwise, why we should not participate in the Program, and we are prepared to, and do, hereby accept any and all risks, whether known or unknown to us, of having us participate in the Program, including, without limitation, all risks and danger inherent in the sports of baseball and softball and all warm-ups, practices, and competitions associated with baseball and softball, including specifically (but not exclusively) the danger of being injured by thrown bats (or fragments thereof); thrown or batted balls; thrown, dropped, or launched items or projectiles; contact or collisions with other participants or staff; any other incidents or accidents associated with crowds of people or the negligence or misconduct of other participants or spectators; or use of or participation in any attractions, activities, or events in connection with the Program.

3. In connection with any injury that I or any of the other Participants may sustain or any other medical condition that we may experience during our participation in or with the Program, I authorize any emergency first aid, medication, medical treatment, or surgery (collectively, “ Emergency Medical Services”) deemed necessary by the attending medical, first aid, or emergency personnel (collectively, the “Medical Staff”) if I am not able to act on my own behalf or on the behalf of the 447

27 other Participants. I further authorize (i) the Medical Staff to execute on our behalf any permission forms, consents, or other appropriate documents relating to medical attention for me and the other Participants and to act on our behalf if I am not able or immediately available to do so and (ii) the disclosure of any personal information relating to us by the Foundation or any of their representatives to any of the Medical Staff in connection with such Emergency Medical Services. Additionally, I agree to assume responsibility for any costs, fees or other monetary charges associated with such Emergency Medical Services or any permission forms, consents, or other appropriate documents relating to medical attention executed by any of the Medical Staff.

4. I, for myself and on behalf of all of the other Participants, acknowledge and expressly assume all risk of us being exposed to or contracting a Communicable Disease (as defined below) during or in connection with our participation in the Program. By parti cipating in the Program, I acknowledge and expressly assume the risk that we may be exposed to a Communicable Disease. I expressly understand that the risks of exposure to a Communicable Disease include contracting a Communicable Disease and the associ ated dangers, medical complications (including death), and physical and mental injuries, both foreseen and unforeseen, that may result from contracting a Communicable Disease. I further acknowledge and understand that our interaction with staff, other participants, and/or any other individuals present during the Program poses an elevated, inherent risk of being exposed to and contracting a Communicable Disease, that it cannot be guaranteed that we will not be exposed to a Communicable Disease, and that pot ential exposure to or contraction of a Communicable Disease while participating in the Program are risks that cannot be eliminated. If infected with a Communicable Disease, I acknowledge and understand that I and/or the other Participants may subsequently infect others, even if we do not experience or display any symptoms.

A “Communicable Disease” as used herein is COVID-19, any strains, variants, or mutations thereof, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and/or any other airborne, aerosolized, or surface transmissible communicable and/or infectious diseases, viruses, bacteria, or illnesses, or the causes thereof.

5. In connection with the foregoing, I agree that neither I nor any of the other Participants will participate in the Program if, within ten (10) days preceding our participation in the Program, either I or any of the other Participants (i) tested positive or presumptively positive for a Communicable Disease or was identified as a potential carrier of a Communicable Disease; (ii) experienced any symptoms commonly associated with a Communicable Disease, including, without limitation, fever, cough, loss of sense of taste or smell, or shortness of breath; and/or (iii) was in direct contact with or in the immediate vicinity of any person who is either confirmed or suspected of being infected with a Communicable Disease within ten (10) days preceding the Participant’s encounter with such person. I further agree that I and the other Participants will submit to any health screening and/or Communicable Disease testing that may be required as a condition of our participation in the Program.

6. If I and/or any of the other Participants test positive for a Communicable Disease or have been identified as being exposed to an individual who has tested positive for a Communicable Disease, we agree to immediately inform the Foundation and acknowledge t hat the Foundation may be required to contact the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (“LACDPH”) to provide information regarding the confirmed positive test, including our name(s) and contact information. We consent to the Foundation providing such information to LACDPH or any other administrative body as required by law. We agree to willingly cooperate with any contact tracing that is deemed necessary by the Foundation and/or LACDPH. We acknowledge the Foundation, the Governor, State Department of Health, LACDPH, or other administrative body with authority over the Foundation may decide to cancel a meeting, practice, competition, or the Program at any time. We also acknowledge that the Foundation must comply with any mandates issued by any entity with the 448

28 authority over athletics and agree to comply with any such directives even if issued after our agreement to this Release. We are aware that practices, games, spectating, and/or transportation will look differently from prior years, including the need for physical distancing and the correct and consistent use of face masks. We agree to comply with the direction provided by the Foundation’s staff and coaching staff and acknowledge that the failure to do so may result in our being refused participation at meetings, practice, competitions, and/or the Program.
