SUBJECT: Resolution Approving;a Professional Services,Agreement--between the City of Petaluma and the Petaluma Downtown Association for Operation of the Visitor's Center and Petaluma Visitors Program, and Authorizing the,CityManagerto Execute Said Agreemenfand All Associated Documents. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City;Council adopt the attached Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement between the City of.'Petaluma and the Petaluma-Downtown Association for operation of the Visitor's Center and Petaluma Visitors Program,and authorizing the-City Manager to execute said agreement and all associated documents. BACKGROUND The existin g p rofessional servicesa reement (then Agreement) with the Petaluma Downtown Association (PDA) for the.operation of the Petaluma Visitor Center and the Petaluma Visitors Program (PVP) was approved by the City Council in;June, 2010. Requests for proposals to operate the Visitors Center and PVP were solicited in-2009;only two responses were received, one from the Chamber of Commerce(then-current and long-time operator of the Programj'and'a private company. The City Council's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) review committee felt a proposal that placed greater emphasis;on'outreach and marketing activities was more suited to the,City's needs, and asked staff to obtain a proposal that provided greater focus in these areas. The'PDAsuhmitted such a proposal, and after conducting additional interviews with both the Chamber of Commerce and.the PDA, the review committee recommended that theCouncilaward operation of the PVP tothe PDA. On,June 10, 2010 the City Council,adopted,Resolution Number 2010-090 N.C.S'.; resources, but was less than optimal to conduct a,viable:visitor's program. As was'noted in the staff report presented to the City,Council''in June, 2010, in the-years between 2000 and 2009 (prior to the economic downturn), City funding for the PVP Was as high as $372,000, but never lower than ' $210,000. Under the existing Agreement, the PDA is responsible for the following scope of work: • Staff and operate the Visitors Center to agreed-up In-season and Off-season schedules; • Provide Visitors Services including but not limited to response to inquiries, distribution of visitor packets, coordinate distribution of community information and maintain informational kiosks; • Complete website upgrades, including a booking agent, links to community sites, and development of an itinerary binder; • Develop partnerships-With local industry professionals and collaborate with the lodging coalition; • Develop partnerships with local and regional events and event coordinators; • Host and coordinate holiday events • Implement comprehensive media outreach; • Develop and engages target markets, maintaining a focused objective of increasing overnight stays; • Develop, coordinate, and maintain a Community Calendar; and • Develop and implement a meeting request_procedure.to assist and encourage prospective meeting hosts. The PDA has completed, made progress towards, pr commenced initial tasks in these areas. On December 3, 2012, the PDA provided the City Council with a comprehensive presentation on its activities, as they relate to the PVP and the PDA. There is synergy between the two functions that did not exist to the same level when the PDA did not operate the PVP. That synergy leverages funding and adds.value to the services the City:receives from the PVP. The PDA has been successful in its efforts to operate the PVP, and received:enthusiastic comments from the City Council at the December 3, 2012 meeting. Among the results and'contributions highlighted during that presentation were: • Achieved a 6.7 percent increase in the total number of visitors; • Delivered 75,000 Visitors Guides to over 120 locations; • Logged over 150,000'website visits annually; • Personally greeted over 10,000 visitors annually at the Petaluma Visitors Center • Liaison and leveraging the buying power of Sonoma County, San Francisco, Sacramento, and California Tourism Programs; • Participating in Citywide, monthly marketing meetings; • Participating in design and implementing Sonoma County's Certified Tourism Ambassador's Program; • Producing "What's Happening this Week"'for all hotels; • Working with travel, food, and wine writers to gain national attention; • Producing Santa's Riverboat Arrival and Lighted Boat Parade, and the City of Lights Driving Tour; and • Establishing'social networking presence including:Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkedln, and MySpace. These accomplishments were the work of one full time staff member, five part-time staff members, and 11 volunteers—in partnership with PDA staff and volunteers. In addition, tourism opportunities were further expanded bythePDA's production of events including: • Butter and Egg Days Parade • Spring and Fall Antique Faires • Petaluma Art'and'Garden Festival • Merchant Sale Events These events, and the PVP-produced holiday events, bring an estimated.90,000 visitors to Petaluma annually. The PDA is also involved in, or supports, events produced by other organizations including: • Cruisin' the Boulevard • Veterans' Day Parade • Farmers Markets • Chili Cook-off • Taste of Petaluma • Rivertown Revival • Petaluma Music Festival • Art in the Park The PDA has made goodFprogress addressing the services required by the City under the Agreement, is ' coordinating well with City Economic Development staff, and in particular is achieving the greater emphasis on outreach and marketing activities desired by the City Council. The PDA has also expanded the use of social media and the PVP's online presence and updated the website to make it more relevant,and user-friendly: In short,the PDA is operating the PVP in a manner consistent with the Council's vision for that program. The PDA is limited in achieving,greater success for the PVP bythe funding it receives. As noted, funding was increased two year ago from $140,000 to $169,000'annually. That larger amount,. however, is still below comparable ten-year historical funding lows (excluding the 2009/10 transition year when the program was operated at a subsistence level for approximately $100,000). The PDA has asked for additional funding, which will be used to expand PVP activities. Such funding would also offset the loss of funding the PDA previously received from the Petaluma Community Development Commission, with which the PDA was able to leverage Petaluma tourism and promotional opportunities. Amongthe statistics provided-to-the City Council during the PDA/PVP presentation last fall was a comparison that showed a significant increase in TOT revenues from 2010 to 2012. The presentation stated that Petaluma's 2012 TOT collections represented.6.35 percent of the TOT collected in Sonoma County. This suggests ample opportunity exists to increase Petaluma's,market share. From staff s ' perspective, it is difficult to quaniify how much of the increase in the City's TOT collections reflects a recovering economy, how much is due to the individual marketing efforts of our lodging industry, and how much was generated by'the Visitor's Program. It seems likely, however, that the Visitor's Program played a key role in bringing tourism to town and influencing lodgers' decisionto stayin Petaluma. Accordingly, it appears money spent on the Visitors Program is a good investment, and that increasing the Program's funding will pay additional dividends. 3 Granting the requesqoriadditional funding requires a.contracTamendment,to'aeldress a new not-to- exceed amount.,Now that the PDA;has had an opportunity to show its capabilities to operate the Visitors program, a longer contract term appears warranted.,Additional`changes to the contract are desirable at this time, all of which together are sufficient to.justify issuing a new contract A new agreement provides more funding, a longer term and greater stability for the PDA, and reduces the administrative effort'associated with processing two annual amendntentsrand a contract renewal that would otherwise occur'in.thenext two years. A new Agreement is negotiated, drafted, and presented to your Council for considerationiani approval. The PDA has operated the PVP;not only pursuant'to the services agreement between the City and the PDA, but also pursuant to a license agreement ("License")between the former Petaluma Community Development Commission ("PCDC") and the PDA.: The License authorizes the PDA's use of depot facilities on Lakeville Street The License relies in turn on the commercial lease agreement ("Commercial Lease") with Sonoma Marin Area.Rail Transit. The.City has taken action pursuant to Ordinance 246.7 N.C.S. adopted June 17, 2013,to'-take assignment of the Commercial Lease, the License, and related agreements to which the former PCDC was a party. The Oversight Board to the City, when acting as the Petaluma'Community Development Successor.Agency, approved the assignment at its June 19,;2013 meeting, The assignment must also be formally approved by SMART. In.addition, the extension of the License and approval of the new Agreement with the PDA requires exercise of one of the extension options under:the(Commercial Lease. Currently, the Commercial lease is set to expire August 1, 2013, subject to three 5-year options:to,extend the Commercial Lease term. Staff has received,informal;communications from SMART indicating support for the assignment and extension of the Commercial Lease. Extension of the License and award of the new PVP Agreementwith the PDA,ultimately rely on assignment and.extension'of the Commercial Lease. The scope of work associated with:this Agreement is incorporated,as Exhibit A to the Agreement. Although.compensation:under the Agreement is increased, the scope of work is virtually unchanged from the scope of work developed in 2010. The PDA will develop and continueto provide all the same services; performance Will.be with greater depth. Compensation primarily reflects the cost of additional staff time needed to operate the PVP at"a higher level of function. With respect to the Agreement, it generally conforms to the City's current standard contract provisions and requirements. The indemnification provisions represent those that were negotiated for the 2010 agreement. Substantive changes are in the following.sections: 34A.. .Compensation. Compensation is increased from $169,000 to $206,000 per year.. The previous contract included an escalator clause that allowed compensation to increase from $140,000 to c 69;000, subject to a negotiated;contract amendment: This Agreement also includes an escalator clause that provides compensation to the PDA,can increase by ten percent (10%), if the City's TOT proceeds increase from $1,654,000 to $1,819,400 annually, and by another ten percent(10%), if the City's proceeds increase from $1,819;400 to $2,001,340 annually. Such increases would not be automatic, but would require agreeinent,on an expanded scope of work and a contract amendment. Annual payments include$6,000 to support licensing costs,associated with space use. The space lease between the former PCDC and SMART expires on Augu"stl, 2013 and obligates the PCDC to $12,000 annual lease payments. As noted, that lease will be assigned to the City, as will the obligation to pay the $12,000 annual lease amount. As the City does not have this funding; costs will need to be 1 supported by the;subleases on the,property. The cost of the;PVP2s share of these payments is passed on through the License Agreement"thatis incorporated as;Exhibit B'to the Agreement. 3 F. Financial Retorting. Previous financial reporting requirements were quarterly. This timing was labor intensive for the PDA and:the City, and was not adhered to as-a result. This provision requires "semi-annual reporting, which should be less.labor'intensive for both parties and foster improved compliance with reporting standards. 4. Term. The new Agreement allows for.a total of six years. The initial term of the agreement is for three years, ending on June 30,2016. Three one-year extensions can be negotiated following the conclusion of the initial term. 14., Annual Reports. The former,Agreement required the submission of narrative progress reports on a semi-annual and annual basis. Similar to,the changes noted,in:Section 3F, narrative reporting requirements are now annual. As'With•finaneial reports, this:change.will reduce the amount of labor expended producing and reviewing;reports, and.promote compliance,with this section. This section is further modified to reflect the:changes noted to section 3F.above: Finally, the License Agreement for use of the Depot building has been updated to provide a new term consistent with this Agreement,to provide the necessary lease payment,,and to reflect that the property lease with.SMART is now between the City and SMART; rather than the forme': PCDC. With these various changes,.the attached Agreement is recommended:for'the Council's approval, effective July 1, 2013. PDA representatives will be available at your July 1, 2013 meeting to answer any questions you may have regardingthe Visitors Program. FINANCIAL IMPACTS The initial not-to-exceed amount under this new agreement is $206;000. This provides-the PDA with compensation'for•services in.the-amount of$200,000,and an additional $6,000 to support license (sub- lease)costs associated with the Visitors Center building_. 'These costs will be supported from Transient-Occupancy Tax-proceeds, TOT proceeds are estimated at $1;654,000 for fiscal year 2013/14, which is sufficient to support the proposed increases'inrthe PDA Agreement and to support the City uses for which they are-also budgeted.
