The smart move is not to say anything this close to an election, but I kind of think governing must go on and City Hall has to make an informed decision on leasing a facility the Fairgrounds ball field. There are a couple of responsible parties who have expressed interest. The City is in the process of hiring new management for a newly reconstituted Parks and Rec Department. A policy on alcohol sales is being written as is a new contract for using facilities.
Meanwhile day to day business, including the booking of events, continues.
The particulars of collegiate baseball will get worked out, but I don't think City Council will want to vote on contracts without all their questions answered and so far neither of the interested parties has made any detailed request other than to talk to the press.
It will get resolved and I feel there will be this activity in 2012.
Newzjunky - Graham: Still No Obligation to Make Immediate Lease Determination for Fairgrounds Baseball Diamond

The Council is wise not to saddle the, soon to be announced, management team with any pre-determined agreements or contracts. Several reasons for this including giving the new team an immediate weighty decision to consider and then either recommend or not. This is just plain good business mangagement. There is no rush anyway...lets have the Rangers win the World Series first.
Let them bring their demands to you Mr. Mayor.... Then swat the hands down. Make a good deal that helps the city and the team.
Good for you Mr. Mayor, let's hope that the new group and the city build a long lasting relationship to get over whatever has happened in the past. It seems all parties are above water and good luck to the new owners.
