RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Pensacola Bay Center Ice Hockey License Agreement - Amy Lovoy, Assistant County Administrator

That the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Pensacola Bay Center Ice Hockey License Agreement between Escambia County, and Pensacola Ice, LLC, and SMG Corporation, with an effective date of April 15, 2015, for a three-year term ending with the 2017-2018 Hockey Season. Escambia County is currently under contract with SMG for day-to-day management of the Pensacola Bay Center, and the License Agreement for the presentation of professional ice hockey is in keeping with this contract.

[Funding: All revenue generated from fees resulting from this License Agreement will be deposited into Fund 409, Civic Center Fund]

BACKGROUND:

At the March 12, 2015 Committee of the Whole, the Board directed staff to move forward with negotiating a contract with the Ice Flyers for use of the Pensacola Bay Center, as well as a contract extension with management company SMG Corporation. The previous agreement with Pensacola Ice, owner of the Pensacola Ice Flyers team, was approved by the BCC on October 20, 2011.

In a general sense, the license agreement states that the team agrees to pay Escambia County a license fee for each game, plus a facility fee per each ticket sold in accordance with a bracketed sliding scale of paid attendees, with two specified exemptions of the facility fee. This fee schedule is in accord with previous Board direction on the terms of negotiation.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

All revenue generated from fees resulting from this License Agreement will be deposited into Fund 409, Civic Center Fund.

The License Agreement was developed by the County Attorney Office, and has been approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
