Re: Modifications to Flamingo Park/Holtz Tennis Stadium Signage
Dear Mr. Schulman:
This letter will confirm the Agreement between the City and Mr. Abel Holtz,.on behalf of
the Holtz.Family, with regard to modifications to the existing signage at the Flamingo Park/Holtz
Tennis Stadium.
The City recognizes the contributions that have been made by the Holtz family to the Tennis
Stadium. Pursuant to our meeting on July 17, 2000, which also included Parks and Recreation
Director Kevin Smith,you were informed that the City intends to make future improvements to the
existing Tennis Stadium, with funding available from a portion of the Series 1999 General
Obligation Bond Program. Pursuant to these improvements, it is the City's intention to demolish
the existing Stadium concurrent with the creation of an updated overall Tennis Center complex at
Flamingo Park.
As you also know,pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Agreement, dated August
51 1983,the existing tennis related improvements at the Stadium were originally to be named "Abel
Holtz Stadium", in perpetuity, and the entire Flamingo Park Tennis Facilities renamed "Flamingo
Park-Capital Bank Tennis Center",with said name(s)not to be removed, altered or changed unless
as approved by Mr. Holtz,pursuant to the terms of said Agreement. Most recently,pursuant to then-
Mayor Seymour Gelber's request, the City, with Mr. Holtz's consent, subsequently changed the
aforementioned name designations, in toto, to "Flamingo Park- Holtz Tennis Center".
Accordingly, this letter shall confirm the Agreement between the City and Mr. Holtz,
wherein, following the proposed improvements to the Tennis Stadium, and, as stated, in the event
the City demolishes the existing Stadium pursuant to said improvements, the City agrees, and Mr.
Holtz herein consents to, the placement of signage at the south entrance of the new Tennis Center
complex,to read"Flamingo Park/Holtz Tennis Center". Additionally, if the City, in its discretion,
deems it appropriate to place signage at the east entrance of the Tennis Center complex,the name
"Flamingo Park/Holtz Tennis Center" shall also be placed at that location. Said signage shall be
