the Council which consisted of a sample of the letterhead stationary,
letters of news releases, a public relations plan and a copy of the
Triathlon budget. Mr. Martin stated that at this point they are
soliciting sponsorships for which there are several. The major
sponsorship involves about a $15,000 contribution, some involve
$5,000-57,000 contributions and some involve a $200 contribution. The
$200 sponsorship will be the package that will be offered to the local
businesses in the community. Mr. Martin stated that he had conversed
with Freedom TV of Orlando, Florida, who were interested in filming the
event. They wanted to film a half hour to an hour special and then
they will try to sell it to the TV stations. There would be no cost to
the Town. Mr. Martin stated that the film company wanted a three-year
contract. The first year there would be no residuals, the second and
third year there would be 10% to 15% consecutively of the residuals
that would be made up from the filming. He stated that after the Board
meeting a Mr. Jay Ogden of IMG had called him (IMG is the state of the
art as far as filming sports events of professional athletes). Mr.
Martin stated that IMG was interested in filming the Triathlon, but if
the three year contract was signed with Freedom, then they would not be
interested. He stated after conversing with John Horan-Kates, they
decided not to worry about TV coverage or media coverage, but try to
run a professional event and then those things would happen. Mr.
Martin agreed. The Council also agreed.
Mr. Martin stated that at this time they have 20-25 applications out
and he expects those to be back sometime in January. He felt that 100
participants would be too many for the first year. He stated that he
would like to see no more than 50 participants. Mr. Martin then

Resolution that was before the Council for discussion. Mr. Rosenberg

Holiday Inn Hotel on the site. The land owner was before Council some

hotel site, Lot#2 was the athletic facility and Lot #3 was going to be
a condominium project for approximately 50 units. Mr. Brown was
requesting to purchase Lot#1 to construct a Holiday Inn on the land
which would have 150 units. The developers would not need as much land
as a possible 200 unit hotel. He stated after the Inducement Resolution

meeting. Art Abplanalp stated he felt that this could be handled by
adding a condition in the Inducement Resolution that the present owners
agreement be submitted to the Council and whatever the present owner is
comfortable with. He stated he had a number of changes in the
resolution and by adding somethings that would conform with their
requirements would save the Council returning on Friday for a continued
meeting.

to confer with Mr. Brown.
