The Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD) recommends City Council approval of an Ordinance authorizing a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Development, Construction, Operations, Maintenance and Concession Agreement Relating to Memorial Park between the City of Houston, Uptown Development Authority, and Memorial Park Conservancy (Tri-Party Agreement).
In an Ordinance passed and adopted by City Council on May 2, 2018 (Ordinance No. 2018-367), the City, Uptown Development Authority, and Memorial Park Conservancy (MPC) entered into an agreement to set forth the terms and conditions for the implementation of the Master Plan for the Park. In an Ordinance passed and adopted by City Council on October 28, 2020 (Ordinance No. 2020-935), the City and MPC entered into an agreement with the Astros Golf Foundation and PGA TOUR, INC. to set forth terms and conditions for the hosting of the Houston Open at the Memorial Park Golf Course (Houston Open Agreement).
As the Tri-Party Agreement was made effective before negotiating the Houston Open Agreement, the Tri-Party Agreement does not include any specific provisions for holding the Houston Open at Memorial Park. Through this first amendment, the City, Uptown Development Authority, and MPC desire to amend the Tri-Party Agreement to clarify the purposes for which MPC may use the Event Fee revenues remitted to MPC pursuant to the Houston Open Agreement.
