DISCUSSION:
Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth d/b/a/ Trail Drive Management Corp. leases and operates Dickies Arena from the City pursuant to that certain
Arena Complex Lease Agreement dated February 17, 2017 (City Secretary Contract No. 48733), the City has concluded, and the City Council has
found, that the Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth d/b/a Trail Drive Management Corporation's operation of the Arena will benefit the City and its
residents.
In connection with its lease and operation, Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth has requested the lease of two (2) City -owned Zambonis (the
Equipment), which are machines used for ice resurfacing associated with, among other things, ice skating shows and ice hockey games, for use
at various events it anticipates will be held at the Arena. The Equipment was purchased by the City in the late 1990s for ice hockey games and ice
shows that were held at the Fort Worth Convention Center and the Will Rogers Memorial Center. Since 2014, the Equipment has not been utilized
and has been in storage. The City has determined that leasing this Equipment to Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth will assist in facilitating
operations at the Arena.
In accordance with the recommended Equipment Lease Agreement (Lease), Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth will keep the Equipment in good
condition and will be responsible for all necessary maintenance and repairs to the Equipment at the company's sole cost and expense.
Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth will also use the Equipment only in connection with events held at the Arena and will not use, transport or store the
Equipment at any location other than that covered by the Arena Lease unless expressly permitted by the City in writing.
Because this transaction will benefit the City and its residents and help achieve the public purposes of increasing visitorship and tourism and the
offerings available to residents through expanded public events space, sporting events, and entertainment offerings that are anticipated to be
financially self-sustaining, therefore lessening the burden of the City, it is recommended that the Equipment be leased for $10.00 annually. The City
Council hereby finds that these public purposes can be achieved pursuant to the Lease and that adequate controls within the Lease will help
ensure achievement of these public purposes.
Upon City Council approval, this Agreement shall commence on the date upon which both parties have executed it and expire October 31, 2023.
Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth d/b/a Trail Drive Management Corp. will have the option to renew this Lease for an additional term of five (5) years
by providing written notice to the City within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days prior to expiration of the Term.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation the Public Events Department has the responsibility for the
collection and deposit of funds due to the City under this Agreement. Revenue from this agreement is estimated at $10.00 annually.
