To authorize the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of Recreation and Parks, to enter into contract with Adidas Golf for the purchasing of resale merchandise for the Airport Golf Course and to approve bid waiver authorization for Adidas Golf for the purchasing of resale merchandise for the Airport Golf Course (GC).

This will enable us to secure the lowest pricing options including discounts on wholesale pricing for volume. Adidas is one of the industry leaders in golf ball, equipment, and merchandise sales and it is critical that the golf division be able to keep stock in the pro shops.
