Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Independent Contractor Agreements for Mr. Manuel Castillo and Mr. Delio Pacifici not to exceed $125,000.00 each during FY 2021-2022, for professional tennis instruction services at Flamingo Park Tennis Center.

Mr. Manuel Castillo and Mr. Delio Pacifici are current professional tennis instructors employed at the Flamingo Park Tennis Center (the “Center”) through Independent Contractor Agreements (Exhibit A and Exhibit B).

As part of their agreement, the tennis instructors receive a revenue split shared with the City for lessons and programming (lessons: 63% - tennis instructor / 37% City and programming: 50% - tennis instructor / 50% City).  Both of these instructors are two of the highest producing contracted professional instructors at the Center. They are performing at a higher level, providing more tennis lessons and servicing more tennis programs than the other tennis instructors at the Center. Their production levels contribute to the revenue that is generated at the Flamingo Park Tennis Center.

Projections have each of the Contactors exceeding $100,000.00, which requires City Commission approval.

With approval from the City Commission, the Parks and Recreation Department (the “Department) will work with the City Attorney’s Office to issue an amendment to each of the current Independent Contractor Agreements with the following change:

•  Mr. Manuel Castillo
  •  Changing the “not to exceed amount” in Section 2 of the Agreement from $50,000.00 to $125,000.00
• Mr. Delio Pacifici
  • Changing the “not to exceed amount” in Section 2 of the Agreement from $50,000.00 to $125,000.00

This increase has no impact to the budget, as the Department has funds dedicated to pay these instructors.
