WORTH, Tx City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION Approved on 9/25/2012 '„ � DATE: Tuesday, September 25, 2012 REFERENCE NO.: C-25885 LOG NAME: 25CVBAMEND2012 SUBJECT: Authorize Extension and Amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 36003, as Previously Amended, with the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau to Extend the Term Until September 30, 2013 and Amend Allocation of Funds for a Total Amount of$8,419,921.00 for Fiscal Year 2013 (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the extension and amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 36003, as previously amended, with the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau to extend the term until September 30, 2013 and amend the allocation of funds for a total amount of $8,419,921.00 for Fiscal Year 2013. DISCUSSION: On September 2, 2007, (M&C C-22414)the City Council authorized a Professional Services Contract with the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB)for a term of five years with two one-year extensions. Funding for the contract stipulated a base funding amount with an automatic 3 percent annual increase through the term of the Agreement, subject to the availability of funds. Due to budgetary challenges, the annual increase was not consistently applied throughout the Agreement; however, supplemental appropriations were approved based on availability of funds. On December 15, 2009, (M&C C-24008)the City Council authorized an amendment to the Professional Services Contract with the CVB to provide for the management of the Fort Worth Herd. Staff and representatives from the CVB have begun discussions on a new Professional Services Contract. The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to extend and amend City Secretary Contract No. 36003 (Agreement), as previously amended, with the CVB. The CVB has communicated its desire to extend the term of the Agreement by one additional year through September 30, 2013 and Staff recommends the same. Approval of this extension will allow the CVB to continue performing its obligations under the Agreement while the parties discuss and negotiate a new Professional Services Contract. Staff also recommends an amendment to the Agreement to allocate the amount of$8,419,921.00 in funding from Hotel Occupancy Revenues to the CVB to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement for Fiscal Year 2013. This amendment would authorize the proposed allocation in the amount of $8,419,921.00 from the Culture and Tourism Fund for Fiscal Year 2013 and is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2013 Budget. This program serves the entire City and ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. FISCAL INFORMATION I CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2013 operating budget, as appropriated, of the Culture and Tourism Fund.
