Request terms of Convention Center management agreement extension

Applies if: The agreement text is not already attached to the posted agenda item.

Why now: The record shows a committee item dated 2026-09-22 tied to Council Agenda Item #26-2940A, yet the matter is numbered 26-3108A and lists no extension length, cost, or next step.

What to do: Ask the city for the text of Supplemental Agreement No. 2 with Global Spectrum, LP, including the extension length and any fee changes. Without it, readers cannot tell whether the extension is a stopgap or a long-term commitment.

Act before: After the requested records are produced
