seconded. the Commission agreed to table the budget so that adjustments could be made.
Guest Fowler Black thereupon discussed a proposal to have Brooks Stadium host a round
of NAIA Championship games. Mr. Black repo(ed to the Commission that he was
hopeful that NAIA would utilize Brooks Stadium for toumament play in 2011 and
discussed ongoing negotiations with NAIA that would lead to that. Mr. Black reported
that the application process was coming along in good order and that we appeared to be
well-postured to land the tournament in 2011. On motion made and seconded, the
Commission voted to authorize Mr. Black to submit a "bid book" to NAIA and to keep
the Commission posted on developments. An NAIA representative, Scott McClure,
proposed to make an inspection tour ofBrooks Stadium on April 19,2010.
