Memo Date: March 21, 2012
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony Wilson, Civic Events Manager
Subject: Agenda Item for April 3, 2012, Council Meeting
Contact: Anthony Wilson, Civic Events Manager, 234-0014
Caption: Consent Item
Consideration of adopting a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for and accept an Events Trust Fund state grant for the National Reined Cow Horse Association 2012 Celebration of Champions in an amount up to $102,005, and authorizing the Mayor or City Manager to execute related documents.
Summary: On behalf of the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association, the City has received a state grant that will reimburse the SASSRA some of its costs related to the National Reined Cow Horse Association’s 2012 Celebration of Champions, including rental fees for the use of the Coliseum.
History: In August, the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association submitted a grant application on the City’s behalf to the state Comptroller’s office seeking funding from the TexasEvents Trust Fund. (The SASSRA cannot apply directly for funding under the state law thatgoverns the trust fund.) The grant helps offset the SASSRA’s costs in hosting the National Reined Cow Horse Association’s 2012 Celebration of Champions, which this year was Jan. 27 through Feb. 5. (The cutting horse event is also known as the World’s Greatest Horseman.)
On Oct. 7, the Comptroller’s office notified the City the event had been awarded up to $87,935, which must be matched by a local contribution of $14,070. The SASSRA will provide those matching funds up front.
The SASSRA will submit to the Comptroller documentation of its expenses related to this year’sevent. Those costs are estimated to be in excess of $200,000. Reimbursements will be made based upon the SASSSRA’s expenditures, and will be paid proportionally from state and local funds. If any local funds remain after all obligations have been met, those would be returned.
This is the third straight year the Celebration of Champions has qualified for an Event Trust Fund grant. Last year, the event received $110,967 from the fund, which the SASSRA matched with $17,755. The state bases the grant amounts on its estimate of the incremental increase in tax revenue the state will realize as a result of the event.
Financial Impact: Acceptance of the grant will reduce the SASSRA’s financial exposure by a maximum of $87,935.
The City will realize $7,500 in rental revenue for the use of the Coliseum, which serves as a warm-up facility for the competitors. (The actual competition occurs in the Spur Arena.) The firsttwo years the SASSRA hosted the event, it was not charged rent for the use of the Coliseum.
Because the SASSRA will provide the local match, the City will have no financial exposure in accepting the grant.
According to an economic impact study performed in 2010 by Dr. Don Hoyte, the former administrator of the Event Trust Fund, the total economic impact of the Celebration of Champions approaches $3.8 million. According to the study, the event attracts 450 competitors, 40 NRCHA personnel and event officials, and approximately 10,000 fans. Dr. Hoyte estimated the event generates more than $71,000 in local hotel, sales, alcoholic beverage and car rental taxes.
The SASSRA last year signed a five-year extension with the NRCHA to continue hosting the Celebration of Champions in San Angelo. That extension took effect when the prior three-year agreement expired after the 2011 event.
Other Information/Recommendation: Staff recommends the Council accept the Events Trust Fund grant, as does the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association.
If Council approves this item, staff will return with a budget amendment authorizing receipt of the grant from the state and disbursement of it to the SASSRA.
