SANTA CLARA — The city of Santa Clara is seeking to end their management agreement with the San Francisco 49ers for managing and operating non-football events at Levi’s Stadium, citing several lawsuits initiated by the team, more than $85,000 in wages that contract workers weren’t correctly paid, and an inability to monitor or audit stadium spending because the team won’t hand over key documents.
The city council Tuesday voted 6-0, with council member Patricia Mahan absent from the meeting, to initiate legal proceedings to terminate the team’s management agreement. That action would not affect National Football League activities, said city attorney Brian Doyle.
