DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)seeks City Council approval to reallocate American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA) State and Local
Fiscal Recovery Funds(SLFRF)that were previously approved for use at the Will Rogers Memorial Center to the coliseum concourse and lobby
renovation project at the facility and to supplement that project's funding by appropriating additional available funds in the Public Events Capital
Fund.
M&C 22-0789 was approved by the City Council on September 27,2022 and allocated$7,875,000.00 in ARPA SLFRF for capital projects at
the Will Rogers Memorial Center Coliseum. The ARPA Revenue Recovery funds were to be divided between a renovation of the lobby and
concourse($1.925M)and the replacement of air handling units($5.95M)at the coliseum.The cost estimate for these two projects combined
now totals$17.9M
In light of these cost increases, and after consulting with the venue's customers,the Public Events Department(PED) is recommending the
entirety of the $7,875,000.00 in ARPA funding previously designated for the coliseum be invested specifically in the customer-facing
improvements for the lobby and concourse, with the needed replacement of air handling units to be addressed in a future PED Capital
Improvement Program. The total estimated costs for the revised coliseum lobby and concourse project is$8,500,00.00 and is proposed to take
place in the following priority order under the umbrella of a single project:
• Renovation of the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and Restrooms(estimated at$6.2M)
• Renovation of the WRMC Coliseum Backstage Club(estimated at$1.3M)
• Renovation of the WRMC Coliseum Lobby(estimated at$1.OM)
M&C 22-0984, approved by City Council on November 29,2022, increased estimated appropriations and receipts in the Public Events Capital
Fund Unspecified Project by$1,000,000.00 for the purpose of funding future shortfalls in grant projects where scope adjustments or delayed
project implementation due to income loss during the pandemic resulted in increased costs. This M&C reallocates $625,000.00 of that
$1,000,000.00 to the shortfall for the WRMC Lobby and Concourse Renovation project
Adoption of the attached ordinance adjusts appropriations as between projects but does not increase total appropriations in either fund.
Funding is available in the capital projects of the Public Events Capital Fund as approved in connection with Ordinance 25851-1 1-2022 and the
Grants Cap Projects Federal Fund as approved in connection with Ordinance 25776-09-2022.
A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Public Events Capital Fund UNSPEC project and Grants Cap Projects
Federal Fund WRMC Coliseum Air Handle Repl project,and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached
appropriation ordinances,funds will be available in the Public Events Capital and Grants Cap Projects Federal Funds WRMC Lobby&Concourse
Renov project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred,the Public Events Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
