50/50 basis.
5. Jaguars will pay for any increase in event day personnel (police, fire rescue, security, etc.)
costs at the Sports Performance Center for Jaguar Operative Period Events.
6. City’s obligation of required parking is reduced by removing Lot R (currently located
adjacent to the practice fields) from parking premises under Jaguars lease.
7. Allows for the removal of Lot H (parking adjacent to Kids Kampus along the river) by notice
from the Jaguars based on their intent to develop the property.

Financial Considerations
1. $3.5 million – The issuance of $60 million in debt to finance this project will equate to
approximately $3.5 million of annual debt service for 30 years, or a total of $105 million.
2. $20.9 million – The amount of the original cost of the Flex Field.
3. $8.25 million - The City has approximately $8.25 million in outstanding debt (pro rata portion
of the remaining $37.7 million on the 2017 Improvements) on the Flex Field that was issued in
2017.
4. Flex Field Operations - City will assume all operational costs of the Flex Field. (ASM Global
estimates the indoor field maintenance to be $12,000 annually with expenses varying based
on usage).
5. Capital Maintenance – The Jaguars were responsible for all capital maintenance (in excess
of the Capital Fund from ticket and parking surcharges) at the Flex Field and will now be split
between the City and Jaguars, 90% and 10%, respectively for amounts in excess of the
surcharges.
6. Ticket/Parking Surcharges – The City will receive a ticket and parking surcharge on all paid
tickets and parking passes for events at the Sports Performance Center to be used at the
City’s discretion.
