Portner, Cal <br />From: <br />Westgaard, Matt <br />Sent: <br />Monday, January 20, 2020 7:30 PM <br />To: <br />Portner, Cal <br />Subject: <br />RE: 52339A18 <br />Cal, <br />Could you please forward my comments for Tuesdays meeting on to the rest of the Council for their consideration <br />during Tuesday evenings discussions. <br />8.1: Naming Rights: As previously stated, I think the council should consider engaging one of these consultants to <br />develop the framework for securing opportunities for not only naming rights but all options of advertising etc. I don't <br />believe we have staff that is experienced with this type of promotion nor has the time to dedicate to developing and <br />maximizing our opportunity here. We have an opportunity to secure some funding for this facility to offset the expense <br />of operating. All three firms show specific experience with like and kind facilities. After review of the attached <br />proposals my instinct would be to lean favorably toward the Front Burner Sports Group based on their team, experience <br />and fee structure. <br />9.1: Park Dedication Fees: I believe our PD fee schedule is well substantiated in structure as to how we determined the <br />rates for each tier. I don't believe we should or are compelled to provide any concessions. The only area I feel we could <br />provide some relief would be on the High Density rate after a certain threshold was achieved or on a graduated scale or <br />a cap after a certain dollar amount. To be more specific; The impact of a 40-unit complex is vastly different than the fee <br />impact of a 300-unit complex. It's a drastically different dollar amount and can understand how it becomes significant <br />for a developer. <br />9.2: Religious uses in the FAST area: Based on my own contemplation without your dialogue, I am not in favor of <br />allowing them in the district. We made an exception several years ago for an educational use that has proven to be <br />more challenging than ever imagined and would strongly oppose allowing it again unless there was further dialogue and <br />discussion with Staff, Planning and Existing Businesses. <br />I hope this is helpful input for your discussion, and again my apologies for the scheduling error on my behalf and not <br />being able to attend. <br />Sincerely, <br />Matt <br />
