The professional soccer team will play their home games at Quest Field but need a practice home. Starfire Sports President, Chris Slatt, and MLS minority owner, Adrian Hanauer, recently met with Mayor Mullet and city staff to discuss bringing the MLS team to Fort Dent for their practice home. Since opening Starfire Sports in Tukwila, Fort Dent Park has become home to thousands of kids, adults and families in the world of soccer. Mr. Hanauer, who is the owner of the Seattle Sounders, has made Starfire the home to the Sounders the past couple of seasons and truly enjoys the soccer atmosphere at Fort Dent. In order for the new MLS team to use Starfire as the clubs home, a new regulation sized grass soccer field needs to be constructed. Chris Slatt has requested a contract amendment that would make it possible to build the new soccer field at the softball complex and sublease the area to the MLS franchise. The City has requested that all additional parking required be the responsibility of Starfire. When discussing this proposal it was agreed by Mr. Hanauer to provide many hours of volunteer time of the professional athletes at our Tukwila schools and local soccer clubs. Although the construction process will eliminate softball from Fort Dent, it is a fact that many more Tukwila children and adults participate in soccer over softball. This amendment (one) contains information that is new and serves in addition to the original agreement (no. 03 -058). It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Director to authorize the Mayor to approve the Starfire Contract Amendment. 1 2424 42 A venue South Tukwila, WA 98168 (206) 7 bruce ct ci.tukwila.wa.us [Document Recording Cover Sheet] FIRST AMENDMENT AGREEMENT NUMBER AG03 -058 This First Amendment to Agreement "First Amendment amends that certain Agreement entered into effective the 1 day of March, 2003, by and between the City of Tukwila, a Washington municipal corporation "City and Starfire Sports, a Washington nonprofit corporation "Starfire recorded under King County Recording Number 20030317001798 "Agreement The City and Starfire have determined that it is in their mutual interest to amend Sections 1.9 and 4.8 of the Agreement.
