among other things, renovate and redevelop an existing historic building located at 714 Main
Street into a full-service hotel (the "Hotel"), as more specifically set forth in the Agreement. In
return, the City agreed to pay Developer up to ten (10) annual economic development program
grants, as authorized by Chapter 380, Texas Local Government Code (the "Program Grants").
B. In order to receive the Program Grants, the Agreement requires Developer to
operate the Hotel at a certain minimum level, defined in the Agreement as the "Minimum Hotel
Operating Standards". Developer has requested that the Agreement be amended to broaden
the definition of this term to include certain equivalently high standards established by other

which are hereby acknowledged, the City and Developer agree as follows:
1. Section 4.8 of the Agreement (Minimum Hotel Operating Standards) is hereby amended

full-service hotel in accordance with (i) Kimpton brand standards; (ii) a four star rating
by Forbes Travel Guide, as more specifically outlined in Exhibit "F", attached hereto

(iv) a substantially equivalent standard published by another recognizable hospitality
industry rating guide, provided that such is acceptable to the City, in the City's sole, but

(the "Minimum Hotel Operating Standards"). In the event that the Hotel is not
operated in accordance with all Minimum Hotel Operating Standards for a period of more
than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days (except on account of a casualty beyond
Developer's control (or remodel or renovation), and provided that Developer is diligently
and continuously attempting to remedy the casualty (or complete the remodel or
renovation), in which case Section 19 shall apply), Developer shall be in breach of this
Agreement (an"Operating Standards Breach"), and Section 9.4 will apply.
2. The American Automobile Association diamond rating guidelines attached hereto are
hereby added as part of Exhibit"F" of the Agreement.

features in comparison to what is typical in more rural locations.AAA inspectors apply only those Diamond Rating
Guidelines applicable for the property classification.
PART 3: Achieve Your AAA Diamond Rating
The AAA Diamond Rating Guidelines
AAA DIAMOND RATINGS FOR LODGINGS REPRESENT A COMBINATION OF THE OVERALL QUALITY,RANGE OF FACILITIES,AND
LEVEL OF HOSPITALITY OFFERED BY A PROPERTY.The widely recognized and trusted AAA Diamonds help members
choose lodgings that will meet their needs and expectations.
AAA's Diamond Rating Guidelines indicate what is typically found at each rating level—from simple economy to
highly personalized luxury.The Diamond Rating is determined based on a compilation of all property characteristics,
with a focus on the overall guest experience rather than on individual elements.While properties at the same rating
level may have variations in the attributes offered,a predominance of characteristics from a particular rating level
drives the rating.
The inspector's Diamond Rating recommendation is based on both the Diamond Rating Guidelines and professional
judgment—an essential component of the rating assessment.Our inspectors are North America's travel experts,
immersed in the hospitality industry on a daily basis as they conduct more than 29,000 lodging inspections per year.
What the Diamonds Mean
One Diamond
�11W
\Tlr
Budget-oriented,offering basic comfort and hospitality.
Two Diamond
Affordable,with modestly enhanced facilities,decor and amenities.
Three Diamond
Distinguished,multifaceted with enhanced physical attributes,amenities and guest comforts.
Four Diamond
Refined,stylish with upscale physical attributes,extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality,service and
attention to detail.
Five Diamond
Ultimate luxury,sophistication and comfort with extraordinary physical attributes,meticulous personalized service,
extensive amenities and impeccable standard of excellence.

page for more information.
• Basic—Of,relating to,or forming the base or essence;simplest form;minimal amounts.
• Connective Technology/Connectivity—The integration of technology and Information systems that allow
guests and lodging operators to interact on an increasingly personalized and technologically connected basis.
• Decorative—Obvious ornamental embellishment with attractive results.

KEY NOTES:

Impressions of the inspector pertaining to comfort,design and layout,or other unique features.
Note:AAA/CAA members express significant dissatisfaction with additional non-use fees(e.g.,"resort fees",
safes,microwaves,refrigerators,etc.). Free and effective internet bandwidth within the guest room is also a
typical guest expectation.
• Additional Features—Some features and amenities(recreation facilities,microwaves,coffeemakers,iron,
etc.)are not rated on a 1-5 Diamond scale,but are factored into the overall property rating based on
availability and/or general quality according to AAA member expectations for the rating level.
• Exceptions—Not all of the Diamond Rating Guidelines will apply to all property types.AAA inspectors will
only use the sections of the Diamond Rating Guidelines that are appropriate for the property classification in
assessing the overall Diamond Rating.If an attribute exists at the property,it will be rated accordingly.

CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT HEARING:

SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Economic Development Program
Agreement with 714 Main Real Estate Holdings, LLC (City Secretary Contract No.52382)
for Development of a Hotel at 714 Main Street to Revise the Minimum Operating
Standards Required for the Hotel (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to
the Economic Development Program Agreement with 714 Main Real Estate Holdings, LLC (City
Secretary Contract No.52382)for development of a hotel at 714 Main Street to revise the the
minimim operating standards that will be required for the hotel.
DISCUSSION:
On October 30, 2018, the City Council authorized the execution of an Economic Development
Program Agreement with 714 Main Real Estate Holdings, LLC (Developer) for the conversion of the
existing 190,000 square foot office tower located at 714 Main St. into a 232-room four star hotel (City
Secretary Contract No. 52382, M&C C-28913). Under the Agreement, the Developer committed to
ensure that the hotel will operate at all times in accordance with Kimpton brand standards or
otherwise in a manner that is consistent with the standards for a Four Star Hotel as defined by Forbes
Travel Guide.
While still wishing to preserve the requirement that the hotel be operated consistent with the
standards of a four star hotel, Developer wishes to use an acceptable industry alternative to the
Forbes Travel Guide on which such standards are to be based. Developer therefore proposes to
amend the Agreement to require the hotel to operate consistent with the standards required for a
Four Star or Four Diamond rating by either Forbes, AAA, Travelocity, or other recognizable hospitality
industry rating guide as deemed acceptable by the City Manager or designated City staff.
All other terms and conditions outlined in the Agreement will remain the same.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommendations will have no material effect
on City funds.
