3. Southwest Sports Agreement Amendment, report by Ken Strobel, City Manager -- $50,000 to Eddie K. to continue having fun with baseball.

I haven't talked to anybody that thought bringing Beckley in was a good move! Most people still remember the $hitty job he did at the last track, and the "Circus" he will bring to town.

They ought to give Ed K. more of that money that they are giving Beckley. At least Ed works at it, and puts on some nationally recognized tournaments.
