SUBJECT: Resolution 2009 -73, Facilities Management Agreement for the Kenai
Visitors and Cultural Center
The purpose of this correspondence is to recommend Council approval of the above referenced
facility management agreement with the Kenai Convention Visitors Bureau, Inc. (KCVB).
Administration performed a detailed analysis of a proposal submitted by the KCVB and of the
2009 KCVB Budget. The analysis is attached as a letter dated November 18, 2009. My analysis
determined that a fair level of compensation to the KCVB for the management services
required by the City to be in a range of $95,000 to $115,000 per year, this includes 10,000 for
advertising in the Visitors Guide.
After several exchanges of additional information and several meetings to define the scope of
the management agreement an agreement in principal was reached defining both the scope,
and level of compensation.
Attached please find the form of the management agreement which includes compensation in
the amount of $125,000 per year. While the compensation is slightly in excess of my analysis,
there are many tasks performed by the KCVB which justify this level of compensation. The KCVB
will submit quarterly reports to the administration identifying work performed in the previous
quarter.
Thank you for your attention in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at
your convenience.

Subject: Facility Management Contract for Kenai Visitors Cultural Center
Dear Ms. Ala:
The purpose of this correspondence is to discuss my review of your proposal for a Facility
Management Contract for the Kenai Visitors Cultural Center dated September 11, 2009, as
well as provide a detailed explanation of the analysis used to determine the scope and an
appropriate level of compensation. While it does appear the current level of compensation should
be increased, the City proposes a substantially smaller increase than what is being proposed by
the KCVB.
The t f financial it in the KCVB al and supplemental
i ire is vci vt imdnCi.a] detai. in ui. i�� propos.. information dated
September 18, 2009, was insufficient to analyze the proposed income and expenses for services
required by the City.
The KCVB financial documents did not delineate between revenue /expense for services required
under the proposed management contract and those that are not required under the proposed
management contract. Because it is not appropriate for the City to share in revenue /expense
outside the scope of the management agreement, revenue /expense for services required by the
City and other KCVB activities must be separated.
As a result, I used the KCV t 2009 budget document (as of 11/3/09) as the base data for my
analysis. My analysis shows the estimated expense for services required by the City to be
approximately $251,600, and the estimated income to be $238,400 (includes City funding of
$79,000).

The KCVB 2009 Budget does not identify separate budgets for services required by the City and
for other KCVB activities (not required under management contract). I have attempted to
allocate an appropriate expense to each category. The budget line items most affected by shared

allocation of expenses are salaries and other personnel costs. There are a few broad categories of
services that are required by the City, and Other KCVB Activities. These would be as follows:
Services Required by the City
1. Recreation/Visitors Guide
2. Ad sales
3. Fundraising
4. MASST Grant
5. Membership
6. Retail Sales
7. Advertising for Visitors Conventions
8, Cultural Exhibits Displays
Other KCVB Actuvities (Not I "equired by City)
1, Saturday Market
2. Meetings (Rentals)
3. Art Shows
4. Charitable Gaming
5. Operation of a Museum
6. Restoration of Museum Artifacts
7. Kenai River Marathon
The table below provides a summary of the attached analysis of the 2009 KCVB budget,
identifying revenues and expenses for activities required by the City, other KCVB activities and
excess expenses in the KCVB budget:
*Some expenses shown in this category, such as 60000 Advertising may be excess
expenses either in whole or in part which would increase the net income in this
category and increase the loss in the Excess Expenses category.
Following my analysis, t have some specific questions as to the purpose /scope of some line items
in the KCVB 2009 Budget. 1 do not believe the conclusions put forth in my analysis will be
significantly affected by the answers to these questions:
1. (N /A- Admissions) Budget is $0, income and expense, includes note stating "Moved
to Patrons Budget In 2009 did the KCVB charge admission to the Visitors Center?
If so, for what activities?
2. (40801- Saturday Market Grant Income) Budgeted income is $5,000. What grant
provides this income? What organization is the grant recipient?
3. (41300- Patrons of the KVCC) Does this represent income from admissions? If so,
what is admission charged for?
4. (60000 Advertising) Budgeted expense is $40,000. Using advertising expenses from
the KCVB proposal I have determined there may be excess expenses budgeted (for
activities required by the City) in the amount of $21,534. I am unable to determine if
these the $21,534 is advertising to support the Saturday Market, An Shows,
Museum, etc., or is an over estimation of the cost of advertising for activities required
by the City. I have calculated advertising for city required activities to be $18,466. Do
you agree with this analysis?
5. (60600 Community Relations) Budgeted expense is $4,500. What does this expense
represent?
6. (60950 -Dry Cleaning) Budgeted expense is $500. What does this expense represent?
7. 61850 Membership/Dues /Subscriptions) Budgeted expense is $4,550. What does
this expense represent? What are the specific memberships /dues /subscriptions?
8. (62300 Professional Fees) Budgeted expense is $1,000. What professional service(s)
does this represent?
In my analysis, some expense items have been allocated between "Services Required by the
City and "Other KCVB Activities," The majority of these have been allocated 70% to required
services and 30% to ether KCVB activities, as I estimate that is the split of staff time.
One major exception is (61520) Insurance Employee Health. My analysis recognizes 70 or
$7,000 of the cost of Insurance- Employee Health as was provided for in the KCVB 2008 budget
as a required service. The KCVB 2009 budget has increased health insurance from 9,910
(2008) to $39,573 (2010), an increase of $29,663 or 300 The City does not require its
contractors to maintain any specific level of health insurance and the 2009 budgeted expense is
significantly in excess of what I believe the market cost for this item under a typical contracted
management agreement.
Description of In -Kind Contribution by City to KCVB (Annunai)
Amount
Meeting Space for KCVB Events and Rentals ($100 x 20)
$2,000
Saturday Market Space ($100 x 14)
$1,400
Janitorial Service (30% of total)
$1,440
Office Space for KCVB (30% x 400s.f. x $1.65 x 12)
2,376
Kitchen Space for KCVB Events Rentals ($100 x 20)
$2,000
Art Show Space ($1,500 x 4)
$6,000
Snow Removal (30% x $2,500)
750
Buildin Utilities (30% x 24,000)
$7,200
Total Estimated 1n -Kind Contribution
$23,166
While appropriately not included in the KCVB budget document, 1 believe it is important to
recognize and to quantify the City's contributions to supporting the KCVB's other activities not
required by the City. The table below attempts to identify and quantify the City's in -kind
contributions to the KCVB.
In summary, my analysis shows the City presently pays the KCVB approximately $13,233 less
than what it costs the KCVB to perform the services the City requires under the proposed
Facilities Management Contract. Under the present agreement, the City pays the KCVB $69,000
annually, and an additional $10,000 for advertisement in the Visitors Guide, or 79,000 total.
The City proposes to increase the overall level of compensation to $95,000 per year, inclusive of
the Visitor Guide advertising.
Please find attached a spreadsheet showing my
Facilities Management Contract.
I look forward to your response to the questions 1 have asked in this correspondence and a
subsequent meeting with you and your executive board.
Sincerely,
CITY OF KENAI
