BEREA, Ohio -- Berea City Council unanimously approved a deal Monday night to cover $14 million to $15 million worth of renovations to the Cleveland Browns headquarters and keep the team here through at least 2028.



The deal also commits the Browns to 10 kinds of community service.



"It's a great facility," Mayor Cyril Kleem said Tuesday, "but they want to make it better, primarily for the players. When a free agent takes a tour, the training facility is an important factor. It often shows the commitment of the team to winning and to the health of the players."



The Browns hope to begin renovations next year. They're looking into extending the indoor field, currently 70 yards long, to the 100 yards of a game-day field. They're also considering built-in pools for therapy, adding parking spaces, storage space and more.



Peter John-Baptiste, the Browns' vice president of communications, said, "We continue to work with Mayor Kleem and city officials on remaining here for many years to come."



The city built the Browns' headquarters in 1991. The site is 76 Lou Groza Blvd., an address with the name and uniform number of a Hall of Fame kicker and offensive tackle. The Browns pay no rent, but Berea shares the team's income taxes with Cleveland, which hosts the home games at FirstEnergy Stadium. The suburb's share of those taxes varies widely from year to year and came to $2.9 million in 2014.



Under Monday's deal, the city will contribute $7 million up front for renovations, mostly through bonds, making use of an A+ credit rating. The city will also rebate 40 percent of any excess in the team's yearly local income taxes beyond $2.6 million through 2029. Kleem expects the payroll to keep climbing, resulting in total rebates of $7 million to $8 million.

The Browns' lease runs through 2040, but the new deal delays an opt-out clause from 2020 to 2028. Two years ago, the Browns paid for most of a $3.5 million renovation of the complex's offices and added 68 workers there. Kleem does not expect new jobs from the latest deal.



The Browns have done many kinds of community service over the years. The new deal spells out 10 kinds, old or new:





Admitting the public to at least two practices or other football events per year.

Giving an unspecified amount of office and athletic equipment to the city for civic purposes.

Hosting a yearly fundraising event for the Berea Youth Sports Commission and/or Lou Groza Football, a recreational league

Giving the commission and/or Groza football tickets yearly to a home game and a "game day experience"

Giving an unspecified number of tickets to Browns games and events to the city, which will pass them along to local nonprofit organizations

Helping the city get grants and community programs from the National Football League

Sending a player, alumnus or coach to a local civic event each year

Hosting a yearly public safety training program

Producing three promotional videos about the city. Kleem expects to post them online and show them to prospective businesses

Making the fieldhouse available for civic use 15 days per year

The team has explored moving its summer training camp out of town, maybe to Columbus, starting in 2016. But John-Baptise said no decision has been made yet.
