City commissioners tentatively approves the Wildcats' five-year contract.

Although, it wasn't all smooth sailing. Two commissioners voted against the contract including Dorothy Hubbard, who stated that she was concerned about paying the team nearly $200,000 a year. Hubbard says she wants to make sure the team has a business plan in place that will ensure the City gets a return on their investment.

The City Commission will take a final vote next Tuesday at their night meeting.
