Moved
K. Krushell - D. Loken:
1.
That the revised negotiated framework to design and build a downtown arena,
as outlined below, be approved:
1.
Sustainability of NHL Hockey in Edmonton is a prime consideration.
2.
The guaranteed maximum price for the downtown arena building is $450 million.
If the tenders received are over $450 million, either party can walk away
from the deal.
3.
The Katz Group will pay the principal and interest costs associated with $100
million of capital cost over 35 years through a lease payment of
approximately $5.5 million (based on October 2011 cost of borrowing – actual
lease payment will be dependent on actual costs of borrowing).
4.
User fee levied through ticket surcharge to generate $125 million plus
interest to fund the capital project.
5.
City of Edmonton contribution of $125 million to the arena building will
include up to $45 million to be funded by a Community Revitalization Levy.
6.
Land to be purchased at the same price and on the same terms and conditions
as in the current purchase agreements. City assumes obligations by October
31, 2011.
7.
The City is to build an LRT connection to arena.
8.
Pedway over 104 Avenue is required adjacent infrastructure funded outside of
the arena building project. Katz Group agrees to pay half of cost, and City
limits contribution to no more than $25 million. Previous estimates placed
the City contribution for the Pedway at $20 million.
9.
Community rink to be constructed adjacent to the arena contingent on funding
from the federal and provincial government. City’s share to be limited to
one-third of the cost, which is not included in the cost of the arena
building. City to own and operate the community rink with all revenues and
costs accruing to the City.
10.
The Katz Group is to operate the new arena and is to pay all operating
expenses, capital maintenance and repair.
11.
The Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club will stay in Edmonton for 35 years.
12.
Design process to be undertaken collaboratively between the City and the Katz

the Pittsburgh approach is the model to follow for design and construction.
13.
City access to the new arena for up to four weeks a year at its discretion.
14.
The Katz Group will enter into a Community benefits agreement with the City,
taking into account the activities of the Oilers Community Foundation.

would not be pursued by the Katz Group.
17.
The City will enter into a marketing partnership with the Edmonton Oilers,
investing $2 million annually in a program to promote the image of the City
and to build City recognition with the Oilers brand. The City will enjoy a
most favoured nation status in its marketing package that ensures the City’s
program is the best value the Oilers have to offer at any given time. The
marketing package will be of a quality and impact that is consistent with
arrangements with the private sector at a similar level. Included in the
partnership program will be access to a suite that the City can share with
other parties contributing to the marketing of the City of Edmonton.
2.

framework outlined above and return to City Council for approval.

Motion, put K.
Krushell - D. Loken:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. That the revised
negotiated framework to design and build a downtown arena as outlined below,
be approved:
1. Sustainability
of NHL Hockey in Edmonton is a prime consideration.
2. The guaranteed
maximum price for the downtown arena building is $450 million, which will include
provision for 350 parking stalls, and with the City not held responsible
for any cost overrun. If the tenders received are over $450 million,
either party can walk away from the deal.
3. The Katz Group
will pay the principal and interest costs associated with $100 million of
capital cost over 35 years through a lease payment of approximately $5.5
million (based on October 2011 cost of borrowing – actual lease payment
will be dependent on actual costs of borrowing).
4. User fee
levied through supplemental surcharge to generate $125 million plus
interest to fund the capital project. The new Supplemental Surcharge to be
placed on Northlands must not be used to fund the new downtown arena.
5. City of
Edmonton contribution of $125 million to the arena building will include up
to $45 million to be funded by a Community Revitalization Levy. The City
must identify how the balance of $80 million will be financed.
6. Land to be
purchased at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as in the
current purchase agreements plus third party costs associated with the land
acquisition and zoning. City assumes obligations by October 31, 2011.
7. The City’s
costs to build an LRT connection to the arena will be capped at $17
million.
8. Pedway over
104 Avenue is required adjacent infrastructure funded outside of the arena
building project. Katz Group agrees to pay half of cost, and City limits
contribution to no more than $25 million. Previous estimates placed the
City contribution for the Pedway at $20 million.
9. Community rink
to be constructed adjacent to the arena contingent on funding from the
federal and provincial government. City’s share to be limited to one-third
of the cost, which is not included in the cost of the arena building. City
to own and operate the community rink with all revenues and costs accruing
to the City.
10. The Katz
Group is to operate the new arena and is to pay all operating expenses,
capital maintenance and repair.
11. The Edmonton
Oilers Hockey Club will stay in Edmonton for 35 years.
12. Design
process to be undertaken collaboratively between the City and the Katz
Group. Clarity on the model has been provided, with both sides agreeing
that the Pittsburgh approach is the model to follow for design and
construction.
13. City access
to the new arena for any 28 days a year at its discretion.
14. The Katz
Group will enter into a Community benefits agreement with the City, taking
into account the activities of the Oilers Community Foundation.
15. The Katz
Group commits $100 million to associated adjacent investment, with at least
$30 million to be invested prior to construction of the new downtown arena
and the balance subject to commercial viability.
16. Any method of
personal seat licenses, condominiumization model or seat rights would not
be pursued by the Katz Group.
17. The City will
enter into a marketing partnership with the Edmonton Oilers, investing $2
million annually in a program to promote the image of the City and to build
City recognition with the Oilers brand. This marketing partnership will be
limited to 10 years with a review every two years of the marketing plan, at
the City’s discretion. The City will enjoy a most favoured nation status in
its marketing package that ensures the City’s program is the best value the
Oilers have to offer at any given time. The marketing package will be of a
quality and impact that is consistent with arrangements with the private
sector at a similar level. Included in the partnership program will be
access to a suite that the City can share with other parties contributing
to the marketing of the City of Edmonton.
2. That
Administration prepare the Master Agreement based on the framework above,
and return to City Council for approval.
