Won Pat-Boja AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE GOVERNMENT OF GUAM TO LEASE A PORTION OF THE LOT IDENTIFIED AS, "LOT NO. 10142 NEW PTN TRACT 100" IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF DEDEDO TO "STRIKE ZONE" FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A BASEBALLISOFTBALL TRAINING FACILITY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF GUAM: Section 1. Legislative Findings and Intent. I Lilzeslafuran Guahan finds that there is a dearth of facilities to train the young men and women of Guam in the skills necessary to play the American team sports that require extremely high levels of technique, such as baseball and softball. Although Guam has many outstanding ball players, both in softball and in baseball, there has never been available a single facility that would undertake the specialized training necessary for these grand old American sports. Strike Zone, a subdivision of Denny's of Guam, Inc., operates such a training facility in Indonesia successfully and has expressed a desire to do the same on Guam, requesting permission to lease a portion of the Guam Sports Complex in Dededo for such purpose. I Liheslafura?~ Gualzan further finds that setting up such a baseball/softball training facility at the Guam Sports Complex in Dededo is appropriate for the property which was reserved for recreational purposes (see P.L. No. 15-130:3); transferred to the Department of Parks and Recreation for its intended use (see P.L. No. 23-100:3), and represents an opportune facility to train the young men and women of Guam in the skills necessary for competitive "slow-pitch and "fast-pitch softball, and baseball. I Likeslaturan Guahan therefore finds that it is indeed in the best interest of the people of Guam for 1Maga'lahi to execute a lease with Strike Zone for such purpose. It is the intent of I Liheslaturan Gualzan to lease a portion of the lot identified as "Lot. No. 10142 New PTN Tract 100" in the Municipality of Dededo (Guam Sports Complex in Dededo) to Strike Zone for the construction and operation of a baseball/softball training facility. Section 2. Authorization to Lease. Pursuant to 33 of Public Law Number 15-6,1 Maga'lahen Guahan is authorized to execute a lease with Strike Zone for a baseball/softball facility within a portion of the lot identified as, "Lot. No. 10142 New PTN Tract 100" in the Municipality of Dededo (Guam Sports Complex in Dededo). Section 3. Terms and Conditions. I Magn'lahen Guahan and Strike Zone shall enter into a lease agreement relative to the leasing of a portion of the lot identified as, "Lot No. 10142 New PTN Tract 100" in the Municipality of Dededo (Guam Sports Complex in Dededo), wherein applicable terms and conditions to govern the lease shall be formulated by the Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation for a term of twenty-five (25) years, with an option for an additional twenty-five (25) years. Said lease shall be executed by I Maga'lahi, attested by I Segundu nu Maga'haga, approved as to form by the Attorney General of Guam, and submitted to I Liheslaturan Guahan for final approval. Section 4. Revenues from Lease to Go to the Department of Parks and Recreation's Recreation Activity Revolving Fund. All revenues generated by the government of Guam from the lease authorized by this Act shall be reverted back to the Department of Parks and Recreation's Recreation Activity Revolving Fund. mArBENTEKUATTRO NA LmSLATURAN GUAHAN 1998 (SECOND) Regular Session CERTIFICATION OF PASSAGE OF AN ACT TO I MAGA'LAHEN GUAHAN This is to certify that Substitute Bill No. 640 (COR), "AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE TKE GOVERNMENT OF GUAM TO LEASE A PORTION OF THE LOT IDENTIFIED AS, "LOT NO. 10142 NEW PTN TRACT 100" IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF DEDEDO TO "STRIKE ZONE" FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A BASEBALL/SOFTBALL TRAINING FACILITY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC," was on the 29* day of July, 1998, duly and regularly passed.
