SeptembeY 18, 2012 -38- CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING PENDING PLANNING ITEMS ITEM #62217(Continued) Mayor Sessoms thanked Mr. Whitney. September 18, 2012 -39- CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS ARENA ANALYSIS 4:45P.M. ITEM #622I8 Mayor Sessoms confirmed City Council received his letter regardifig potential arena project dated September 13, 2012. There have been no other meetings since September 12, 2012. Mayor Sessoms believes the next meeting will be in approximately two (2) weeks. Mayor Sessoms will advise City Council of the outcome of the next meeting. Councilman Davis stated there is a movement for an additional Study on the Arena, which will be number four (4). Mr. Davis advised, given the City has three (3) Studies and based on the reputation of the individuals that prepared the reports, he does not agree with wasting .$50 to 100- Thousand on a fourth study. Councilman Moss requested the numbers given to Dr. Koch for his be verified. Councilman Davis stated the Ciry has one study by Comcast Spectacor, one by BARMAC and one by A&P. All three reports came within approximately 12% of each other and each are from the industry. Councilman Moss advised his concern is Comcast is the applicant in part; Comcast also provided the data that Dr. Koch used. Since 1955, over seventeen (17) studies have been conducted on Arenas; all have concluded, without exception, that the positive net value from economic impact is zero. Councilman Moss has identified the academic research to the City Manager. Councilman Davis agrees with what Councilman Moss is saying; however, one of the gentlemen Councilman Moss would like to have a study from is Robert Baade. This gentleman actually said that there has been positive economic impact and mentions Indianapolis where economic impacts were positive from the stadium built. Councilman Davis has two (2) big concerns regarding the majority of the studies mentioned by Councilman Moss. First, these reports look at building stadiums solely to attract a professional team with the stadium going "dark" outside of the season. Secondly, the City goes and rebuilds the Stadium, specifically to bring in more attention and more attractions. The City has the unique situation because the City does not have a professional sports team or an arena for professional entertainment. Secondly, unlike some of the individuals that conducted these studies, Councilman Moss views Comcast as those who would benefit; however Councilman Davis views Comcast as soineone that will "be in the foxhole with us ", being vested in the tune of over $100-Million. Councilman Davis stated September 18, 2012 -40- CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS ARENA ANALYSIS ITEM #62218(Continued) he trusts the Study where the source providing the money is at risk and not the PhD at the University getting paid to put some numbers together in a study. Councilman Moss stated if the project is so great, he would like it to be like the New York Giants who fznanced their own stadium totally with pYivate money. Mr. Uhrin reminded City Council the next meeting is two (2) weeks away and this project is not on the schedule originally anticipated. On that alone, no one should be pushing for anyone to be spending any more money on additional studies at this time and not until the City has a real idea of what the deal might potentially look like. Mayor Sessoms inquired if City Council will give direction to the City Manager to move forward with an additional study: Councilman Moss stated the study does not need to happen today because the financing needs to be included in the study; however, Councilman Moss would like the study in a timely manner to understand the validity and integrity of the databases. He would like to have time to digest the report and then have a conversation with the public. Councilman Davis does not feel an additional study is needed. Councilman DeSteph stated he has not read the three (3) studies, but after reading Dr. Koch's Report and talking with him, he would like to have an additional study before movingfonvard. Councilman Dyer would like to hear Dr. Koch's "State of the Region " before moving fonvard with an additional study. Council Lady Henley, Councilman Diezel, Councilman Uhrin, Councilman Wood, - Council Lady Wilson do not want to have an additional study at this time. September 18, 2012 -41- CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS ARENA ANALYSIS ITEM #62218(Continued) Vice Mayor Jones stated a lot of work needs to be completed before the City spends any more money. Mayor Sessoms stated before this project is before City Council foY consideration, he would not mind having an independent individual review this information. City Manager Spore advised the RFP is due on October IS, 2012, and, at that point, he will share the responses the City received. September 18, 2012 -42- CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS 4: SSP.M. ITEM #62219 Councilman Dyer thanked the Ciry foN hosting the Governor's Local Unfunded Mandated Review Task Force Meeting yesterday at the Virginia Aquarium and the Ciry Council for hosting lunch ITEM #62220 Councilman DeSteph referenced a letter from the Real Estate Assessor regarding the land book value increasing as more homes came on-line for January 1- July 1. There is an additional $1.1-Million in RE:venue than anticipated. HRT is scheduled to host Open House regarding the Virginia Beach Transit Extension. There is a good ad and an article that the Light Rail Advocacy Group will host Fundraiser in Norfolk. If the City is going to publicize one side of this, we should find something to balance it and publicize both sides. ITEM #62221 Councilman Moss referenced the Joint Session scheduled with the School Board on October 2"d and would like to discuss the Agenda and meeting format prior to that date. He would like for it to be more productive than everyone just sitting around and having their three (3) minutes to talk. Mczyor Sessoms advised the feedback from the last Joint Session was one of the best we ever had because of the good conversation. If that is not the direction, this Council would like, please correct me. Councilman Moss stated it was simply a conversation but after we hold that meeting, we should schedule an additional Joint Session to discuss the Funding Formula. Are we hoping to walk out of that meeting with a consensus? Councilman Moss would also like to have as much information regarding the "baseline " Budget for the next Fiscal Year as it would be helpful. Councilman Moss received a copy of a letter from the Resort Advisory Commission that has taken a po.sition on the Referendum question and he feels it is inappropriate for a City appointed Commission to tahe a position as a City Commission. He has asked the City Attorney for his assessment. ITEM #62222 Council Lady Wilson stated she has never known the City Council to hold a Joint Session `just to meet ", without having a purpose. The City Manager and the Superintendent have been working on the Funding Fa°mula. The City Manager advised the draft policy for the Funding Formula would be out in advance of the mecting. It will include not only the numbers, but the wording on how it would be implemented. The goal is to have the draft policy to go out in the City Council's packet this Friday. ITEM #62223 Councilman DeSteph would like to discuss the Legislative Package at the Joint Session. Coz.tncilman DeSteph requested the City Manager include the actual Budget including the approximate $28-Million of pluses back into the Budget this year.
