A RESOLUTION GRANTING AUTHORITY AND EXPRESSING
APPRECIATION AND SUPPORT FOR THE FIRST
AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
AND ARKANSAS STATE GAME & FISH FOUNDATION; AND,
FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, citizens of Jacksonville have witnessed the success of
the AGFF Shooting Sports Complex opened by the City in January, 2014,
where thousands of youth and adult shooting sport enthusiasts have already
participated in tournaments and other shooting events, benefiting all in our
community; and,
WHEREAS, the AGFF, in their dedication to substantially contribute to
the construction costs of the Complex, have agreed to provide their FULL
remaining funding commitment to the City now so as to enhance the City's
financial position and increase opportunities to reach even more young
people and adults with expansion of the Range Complex facilities. Because
of that modification and funding commitment satisfaction, it is required to
amend the parties' March 28, 2013 Agreement, and the City Council is
required to provide Mayor Fletcher and City Clerk Davitt authority to execute
said Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, THAT:
SECTION ONE: The City Council expresses its appreciation to the
AGFF and support for the modification of the parties' Agreement regarding
AGFF's funding commitment for the Shooting Range Complex. Authority is
hereby granted to Mayor Fletcher and City Clerk Davitt to execute a First
Amendment to the Agreement, as drafted and approved by the City Attorney,
to pledge that all funds received by the City from AGFF will be committed
directly to the debt obligation for the Shooting Range through BanCorp
South. As well, a commitment of hours of operation and future development
in 2015 and 2016 of the Complex shall include Phase One of a Recreational
