TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Richard B. Helwig, City Manager
SUBJECT: Umpire Agreement
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to
consider approval of an umpire agreement for the umpires at
the Elgin Sports Complex.
BACKGROUND
To improve Complex operations, it is proposed that umpires be
individually contracted this year through the City rather
than the U.S.S.S.A. (United States Slo-pitch Assoc. ) . Provi-
sions of the contract will hold harmless and indemnify City,
its agents and employees, for and against any and all causes
of action, claims for damages, suit or any and all other
liability caused by or arising out of or in connection with
this agreement, regardless of any negligence on the part of
City, its agents or employees . It will also allow the Recrea-
tion Division to train and keep track of who is working the
facility, allowing evaluation of the individual ' s performance.
The umpires are paid prior to each game by the individual
teams .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 45 umpires will pay $25 to the City to offset the cost
for various items; rule book, balls and strike indicator,
clinics and a shirt. These items have been budgeted in the
account (#550-6001-776 . 17-13) and revenue will be deposited
in the sports complex revenue account (#550-0000-545.00-00) .
