Crumby PE, Assistant City Manager /Public Works SUBJECT: SEAL BEACH TENNIS CENTER - MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6168 approving a revised agreement for the management and operation of Seal Beach Tennis Center with First Serve Tennis, Inc. ( "First Serve "). BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: On November 11, 2008 the City Council adopted Resolution Number 5812 authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with First Serve for management of the Seal Beach Tennis Center. The term of the agreement was from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2014. First Serve, through Chief Executive Officer Cathy Jacobson -Guzy, began operating the facility full time on January 1, 2009. Under the current management agreement, First Serve is tasked to operate, manage and supervise the Seal Beach Tennis Center, consisting of 16 tennis courts, clubhouse, pro shop, gym, and locker room facilities. Additionally, two of the major scopes of services terms require First Serve to actively promote the sport of tennis and the Seal Beach Tennis Center and enhance the Tennis Center's appeal and use within the community, and manage the Tennis Center so that all facilities, buildings, structures, and equipment are in good, safe, operating, useable and sanitary order and condition. During the fiscal year 2011/12 budget hearings it was projected that the Seal Beach Tennis Center was operated at a deficit of approximately $70,000 for the fiscal year 2010/11. After completion of the fiscal year, the actual deficit is approximately $64,000. At that time staff was directed to look into all contracts in conjunction with the Seal Beach Tennis Center in an effort to reduce the expected deficit for the fiscal year 2011/12 budget. Agenda Item F Page 2 The largest expenditures that have the potential to reduce expenses are the landscape maintenance, janitorial services, and First Serve's draw on the monthly salary. Each vendor was contacted individually to gauge possible savings for the City. First Serve has approached the City about the possibility of taking on the responsibility of janitorial services. First Serve is confident that its current staff can manage the janitorial services at an equal level to what the City's contract vendor is currently providing, and is also willing to accept $4,000 a month in draw instead of $5,000. The table below details the anticipated savings for fiscal year 2011/12: 2011 -2012 2011 -2012 Total Savings Adopted Budget Reduction 2011 -2012 Landscape Maintenance $50,000 10% $1,133 Janitorial Services $25,000 100% $25,000 Manager's Draw $60,000 20% $11,000 The anticipated savings that the City can expect to see for 2011/12 is $37,133. This would reduce the anticipated deficit from approximately $64,000 to approximately $26,867 for the fiscal year 2011/12. Staff believes that a fair and equitable agreement has been negotiated that provides the same standards of management that the facility has become accustomed to while offering the City necessary financial relief. Although the Manager's Draw has been reduced by 20 %, this agreement provides an incentive for First Serve to increase revenue for the facility: If the facility breaks even, First Serve and the City will split all revenue above the cost neutral point. Staff and Tennis Center Management are also working closely together to identify future revenue sources such as advertising, personal training and an increased juniors program. Staff anticipates presenting a detailed review of the finances and management of the Seal Beach Tennis Center during the upcoming midyear budget review. AMENDMENTS TO CURRENT AGREEMENT For the most part, the revised agreement is virtually identical to the current agreement, except as noted below: • Section 2.2: City will pay First Serve $4,000 (instead of $5,000) per month; • Section 2.3: If revenue exceeds expenses during the preceding fiscal year, CITY shall pay CONTRACTOR 50% of any surplus, up to a maximum of $12,000; • Section 1.1.15: First Serve shall provide janitorial services and pay for all costs associated therewith; Page 3 • Section 4.0: Term of the Agreement has been extended to June 30, 2016 (Current expiration date is December 31, 2014); • Section 1.6 has now been renumbered as Section 1.5;. • Sections 1.6 (formerly Section 1.5) and 1.7 have been revised to clarify that First Service will purchase all retail items with its own money, and not include the purchase price of any retail items as an operating expense (There is no change to the provision that the City will continue to receive $10% of the gross receipts of retail sales); and • Section 3.0 has been amended to refer to the provisions in the "Individual Joint -Use Agreement for Seal Beach Tennis Center" dated January 26, 2009 regarding the use by the Los Alamitos High School Tennis Teams so that each agreement is consistent (The Council may recall that the Council changed those provisions at the time it approved the Joint Use Agreement, two months after the agreement with First Serve was approved.) FINANCIAL IMPACT: The following represents anticipated savings as a result of the revised agreement: 2011 -2012 Adopted Budget Landscape Maintenance $50,000 Janitorial Services $25,000 Manager's Draw $60,000 RECOMMENDATION: 2011 -2012 Total Savings Reduction 2011 -2012 10% $1,133 100% $25,000 20% $11,000 That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6168 approving a Tennis Center Management Services Agreement with First Serve Tennis, Inc.
