APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of April 1 1965 were approved as written and
mailed. '
PETITION TO CITY COUNCIL
Chairman Coons read a petition which had been directed to the Honorable Mayor
and City Council of the City of Anaheim. The petition asked that the name of
the "Anaheim Stadium" be named the "Walter Johnson Stadium". Chairman Coons
passed the petition around for each Commissioner to read. The petition was
received and filed.
POLICY OF RENTALS
The report from Mr. Liegler on the base rental fees and services for other
facilities throughout the nation had been received and reviewed by the
Commission. The Secretary, upon the request of Commissioner Hughes,
distributed additional information on seating capacity, square footage,
etc. for various facilities, to the Commission at this time. Chairman
Coons suggested that after further study of the combined reports, this
matter would be discussed at the next meeting.
SCOREBOARD SPECIFICATIONS
Mr. Davis, Assistant City Manager reviewed the scoreboard specifications
with the Commission. He said that his basic idea was to secure a proposal
and price for a scoreboard and message board. He said the section regarding

SCOREBOARD SPECIFICATIONS (Continued)
the AoIoA. contract could not be the same as the Del Webb contract. He said
that in lieu of the word "architect" he has used the name of Tom Liegler,
since he will be working closely with the scoreboard contractor.
He stated that special conditions of the specifications are payment to the
contractor. The contractor may expect some partial payment and this could
be handled on the basis of possibly an inspection of the scoreboard as it
is in progress. This area would be negotiated with the contractor.
Chairman Coons asked Mro Davis if he had given any consideration to putting
the boards in one package? Chairman Coons said that if you incorporate the
two boards together you would have a better sale. Also, when the field is
converted for football you would have the entire board in the left field
area. Mr. Davis replied that if you have only one board you have to be
careful so that it is not too jumbled. He mentioned that he has talked
with some interested parties and they have a proposal that he is sure will
answer most of these questions. This particular group is thinking of one
board only with one side for baseball and another side for the message,
which by pressing a couple of buttons could irmmediately be converted for
football. The Commission agreed that they definitely want something really
distinctive architectually and hope that the proposal will offer some new
concepts for a scoreboard.
Chairman Coons introduced Mr. Gordon Gauthier from Crown Sign and Neon Company,
and ask him if there were any thoughts that he would like to contribute.
His only suggestion was that it would be best if the specifications state
exactly what they wanted and let the bidders design the board.
Commissioner Knisely asked if they would get a proposal first or an advertiser
first? Chairman Coons replied that they would have to get a face concept first
then try to secure an advertiser. Commissioner Hughes pointed out that if you
have a fifteen year contract, an advertiser may have some ideas that he would
like incorporated also.
Mr. Davis said that it would take about 30 days for the bids, and 5 or 6 months
for construction, therefore, he would like to see a contract awarded about June.
MOTION: Commissioner Knisely moved that the specifications be revised to include
prices for each board (a single board and a combination board), and a total
price for both boards. Seconded by Commissioner Hughes. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Davis said he would make this revision and distribute the specifications
immediately° It was mentioned by Chairman Coons that it should be made
perfectly clear that these will be proposa~ only and not bids. The proposals
will be discussed privately and will be confidential.
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT AND CONCESSION AGREEMENT
Mro Watts distributed copies of the agreement of the Joint Powers (Community
Center Authority), and the final copy of the concession agreement, to the
Commission.
