WHEREAS, the continued location in the City of major league professional sports teams is a matter of civic importance; and,

WHEREAS, the presence in the City of major league professional sports teams also provides an important sense of civic pride, and assists in maintaining the City's central position in the metropolitan area; and,

WHEREAS, the ability of major league professional sports teams to operate on a viable basis is a prerequisite to their remaining as local teams; and,

WHEREAS, the interests of residential neighborhoods near stadiums that are currently addressed by the existing provisions of the Municipal Code can also be protected by the Municipal Code, as amended by this Ordinance, and by binding agreements entered into between the City and owners of sports stadiums that limit the number and times of night games and other effects of sports events at such stadiums and that provide for services for affected neighborhoods; and,

WHEREAS, interests of residents and residential neighborhoods near stadiums are taken into account by the limitations set forth in this Ordinance, in particular with respect to the capacity of stadiums and the number and times of night games; and,

The letter may request formal discussions or meetings, which must commence within five working days after receipt unless otherwise agreed, at which any Relevant Alderman(men) or City official(s) or Cubs official(s) may participate.

(3) If, after such a meeting specified in Section 6(B)(2), the parties have not resolved the dispute, then any and all disputes between the parties arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Ordinance and Agreement, and whether arising during or after termination of this Ordinance and Agreement, may be submitted to the decision of a board of arbitration composed of three arbitrators meeting in Chicago, Illinois. If either party requests arbitration, and notifies the other party no later than twenty working days after filing of any court complaint pursuant to Section 6(B)(5), the dispute must be submitted to arbitration. The arbitration will be final and binding on the parties and will proceed as follows:

(a) Submission to Arbitration: A notice requesting arbitration, or any other notice made in connection therewith, will be sent in writing to the other party.

(i) Notice requesting arbitration will state in particulars all issues to be resolved in the view of the requesting party and will appoint the arbitrator selected by the requesting party.

(ii) the City will appoint an arbitrator who is not a current or former employee of the City or an immediate relative or first cousin of any such person and is not a resident of, or doing business with the City or in the area defined in Section 10(B). For purposes of this Section, an individual is deemed to be doing business with the City or in the area defined in Section 10(B) if the individual or an immediate relative or first cousin, or any entity in which the individual has an interest, receives any compensation or non-aid monetary benefit from the City or from any individual, company or entity related to activity conducted in the area defined in Section 10(B), and has not been appointed to office or position by the City or its employees;

(iii) for purposes of this section, "former employee" or a person who "has not been appointed to office or position by the City or its employees" means a person who was employed or who served under an appointment by the specified entity within the last twelve years;

(iv) the two arbitrators will appoint an umpire, who will be a person distinguished for his or her service to metropolitan Chicago meeting the criteria for both the Cubs arbitrator and the City's arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on the appointment of the umpire, each of the arbitrators will nominate three individuals meeting the umpire's criteria. Each arbitrator will then decline two of the nominations presented by the other arbitrator. The umpire will then be chosen from the remaining two nominations by random drawing.

(v) The parties may mutually agree to waive any qualification requirement of an arbitrator set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv).

(c) Decision of the Arbitration:

(i) Each arbitrator will act in a non-partisan manner, and will render his or her judgment based solely on an independent analysis of the merits of the dispute. The arbitrators will not be obliged to follow judicial formalities or the rules of evidence. Rather, the arbitrators will render a written decision with regard to the terms of the relevant Section(s) of this Agreement and the Ordinance, as well as the original intentions of the parties to the extent reasonably ascertainable.

(ii) It is the intent of the parties that their relationship be construed not as a strictly legal undertaking but in the context of the determination to best serve the interests of the City, the neighborhood, and the Cubs.

(iii) The written decision rendered by a majority of the arbitrators will be final and binding. All expenses of the arbitration will be equally divided between the parties.

(d) The arbitration panel may, by majority vote, grant any remedy or relief that it deems just and suitable, including, but not limited to:

(i) an award requiring a party to meet its obligations under this Ordinance and Agreement,

(ii) reimbursement and/or damages for a party's failure to meet its obligations under this agreement,

(iii) additional or reduced contributions to the Cub Fund,

(iv) adjustments to the obligations of the Cubs and/or the City,

(v) in extreme cases, the loss or suspension of a number of permissible night games, and/or

(vi) any combination of these remedies.

(e) The arbitration panel will adhere to the following schedule unless the parties otherwise agree or if the arbitrators determine in their discretion a different schedule is in the interest of the parties, the arbitration, or the arbitration decision:

(i) the complaining party will file its complaint within 10 business days after its receipt of the notice in Section 6(B)(3)(a)(ii);

(ii) the responding party will have 10 business days after receipt to respond;

(iii) the complaining party will have seven business days after receipt to reply;

(iv) a hearing will be held within 15 business days of the date the reply brief is received by the arbitrators and the responding party, unless a sur-reply is allowed by the arbitrators, in which case a hearing will be held within 15 business days of the date a sur-reply is received by the arbitrators and the complaining party; and

(v) a written decision by majority decision will be rendered within 15 business days thereafter unless the arbitrators determine they need an additional 15 business days or more in extreme cases because of unexpected complexity or other unexpected reasons. A disagreeing arbitrator may issue a written dissent, but this shall not be cause for delaying the written decision of the majority beyond the time set for its decision.

(f) In the event either party challenges the arbitration decision in a court proceeding, the parties agree to abide by the decision of the arbitrator while those proceedings are pending.

(g) Any arbitration under this provision shall be governed by the Illinois Uniform Arbitration Act.

(5) If arbitration is not chosen by either party, then either party may file suit in a federal or state court in Chicago, Illinois, to enforce the agreement by declaratory judgment or injunction or mandamus or by any combination. In case of such suit, either party may request and, upon order of court shall receive, declaratory judgment, injunction, reimbursement and/or damages for failure to meet its obligations under this Agreement, additional or reduced contributions to the CubFunds, adjustments to the obligations of the Cubs and/or City, and, in extreme cases, the loss or suspension of a number of permissible Night Games, or any combination of these remedies.

(C) Dispute Resolution Mechanism --- Emptying Of Trash Cans.

(1) If the City believes the Cubs have not met the requirements of Section 4(F)(8) of this Ordinance and Agreement (empty all public or Cubs-owned or placed trash bins), the City will notify the Cubs and the Cubs shall perform as required by Section 4(F)(8) within 24 hours.

(2) If the Cubs have not performed as required by Section 4(F)(8) within 24 hours of receiving notice, then the City may perform the services required by Section 4(F)(8) and the Cubs shall reimburse the City for the cost incurred by the City of performing those obligations.

(3) Any dispute as to whether the Cubs have performed their obligations shall be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 6(B).

(4) If the Cubs enter into a contract with any third party for any requirement of Section 4(F)(8), the Cubs shall cause this provision to be placed in that contract as a contractual obligation of the third party.
