2018-869 8th Amendment to the Gator Bowl Association Lease

This amendment is specifically for the football game between Florida State University and Boise State to be played on August 31, 2019.

Revenue to the City:

-          The Association will pay a base rent amount of $100,000.

-          The City will receive $3.00 per parking space used at the game which is estimated to be $15,000 based on 5,000 spaces

-          The City will receive 11% of concession revenue. The estimated concession revenue is $89,100.

-          The City will receive a Ticket User Fee of $1.25 per ticket pursuant to Municipal Code Section 123.102. The $1.25 Ticket User Fee is the non-profit rate. This event should have an estimated attendance of 45,000 and the estimated revenue could be approximately $56,250.

Total Revenue to the City is estimated to be $260,350

 

 

Expense to the City ($385,000):

-          The City, through SMG’s budget approved by City Council via Ordinance 2018-504-E, will cover the game day costs in an aggregate amount not to exceed $385,000.

 

Estimated Net Impact to the City is ($124,650)

2018-872 Ambassador Hotel

 

Summary:

This bill will authorize the execution of a Redevelopment Agreement for the renovation of the Ambassador Hotel (420 N. Julia St.) and the construction of approximately 200 residential units of market rate housing.  The Redevelopment Agreement will provide for a grant from the Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund in the amount of $1,500,000 for the renovation of the Ambassador Hotel and a Recapture Enhanced Value (REV) Grant in the amount of $4,900,000. According to DIA’s calculation, the project will generate a Return on Investment of 1.51.

 

The developer intends to renovate and develop an approximately 127 room hotel, construct 200 units of multifamily market rate housing and a structured parking facility to serve both the hotel and housing projects.

 

CONCERN:

The Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund has been over committed. This started with the approval of Ordinance 2017-403-E which provided for a $4,000,000 grant for the Barnett Building (which has been encumbered) and a $4,000,000 grant for the Laura St. Trio. As stated on our hand-outs for Ordinance 2017-403-E and Ordinance 2018-630-E, “the Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund has enough funds for the $4 Million grant to the Barnett developer. The funding source for the $4 Million grant to the Trio developer has not yet been identified as there are not sufficient funds remaining in the Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund.” Below is a summary of proposed commitments from the trust fund that could impact the General Fund/GSD.

 

 

Another project that will have a General Fund/GSD impact is the redevelopment of the Berkman II Tower and parking garage recently approved by the DIA Board (DIA Resolution 2018-09-02). According to the term sheet, as part of the incentives for the Berkman II project, there will be an $8,250,000 Operational Grant and a $3,250,000 Redevelopment Completion Grant, both to be funded by the General Fund/GSD. If the Downtown Historic Preservation and Revitalization Trust Fund is ultimately funded by the General Fund/GSD, these pending and proposed commitments could have a total impact of $17.8 Million on the General Fund/GSD over multiple years. 

 

 

Amendment:

1.      Place a Revised Agreement On File to:

a.       Correct referenced DIA resolution to 2018-09-03 in Section 1.2

b.      Change base year to 2019

c.       In Section 5.1 strike references to residential apartments, retail space and office space

d.      In Section 6.1 fill in Final Year of REV to be 2038

e.       Remove references to Loan in Section 10.1

f.       Correct scriveners errors

g.       Revise number of hotel rooms from approximately 127 to approximately 100 (also revise within the legislation)

h.      Revise number of residential apartments from approximately 200 to approximately 220 (also revise within the legislation)
