The agreement also states that the Cityshall maintain the fields. It no longer mentions the District having any field maintenanceresponsibilities. This makes it unclear as to who would prep the fields if the Districtrented the fields out to a party other than the current Little League.

The newagreement also eliminates that the clause that required the District to pay the City 1/20 thof the City’s cost to install the baseball fields and related equipment for each yearremaining on the term if the District terminates the agreement during the first 20 years.If the District cancelled the agreement today, under the current agreement, the Citywould receive approximately $40,800 from the District.Under the new draft, a 12 month maintenance schedule for Corvallis Middle Schoolfields, the City is looking at the following increases:1.
