Fiscal Note
The annual facility rental payments range from $8,000 in 2016 to $42,000 in 2022, averaging approximately $27,000 per year ($188,000 over the seven year life of the agreement). The City will save approximately $27,500 annually in utility costs which will be reimbursed by BIG TOP EVENTS LLC ($190,000 over the seven year life of the agreement). These funds will be deposited in the Parks Division Operating Budget to offset expenditure and service delivery growth. The agreement has no impact on the $10,000 annually paid by the Madison Metropolitan School District to the Parks Division for the use of Breese Stevens Stadium.
The agreement also provides for a contribution of at least $100,000 in capital funding.
The total value of the seven year agreement is approximately $478,000 plus the added value of additional staff time that will not be needed to manage the day to day operation of the facility.
If the agreement is mutually agreed to be extended, the value to the City would be another $150,000 in utility savings, $250,000 in facility use fees, and another $100,000 in capital investments for a total of $500,000 plus the added value of additional staff time that will not be needed to manage the day to day operation of the facility.
