:MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Tukwila City Council
FROM: Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks & Recreation
DATE: January 23,2008
SUBJECT: Starfire Contract Amendment, Agreement Number 03-058
The Seattle area has been awarded an expansion Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise
that will compete in 2009. 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 the Mayor and city staff to discuss bringing the MLS team to F Oli Dent for their
practice home. Since opening Starfrre 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 and an additional synthetic turf field needs to be constructed. Starfrre
would also add two smaller modified synthetic turf fields to be available for youth play.
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.
When discussing this proposal it was agreed by Mr. Hanauer to provide many hours of
volunteer time of the professional athletes at our Tuk\vila 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.
