Background/Justification: The City Council discusses legislative priorities prior to the start of the Maryland General Assembly session in January. Senator Jim Rosapepe, as well as Len Lucchi and Stephanie Anderson, the City’s lobbyists on State issues, will provide a brief overview of some statewide issues and opportunities for the City during this session. Last year the City took positions on bills regarding pedestrian safety, modified auto mufflers, sustainability, purchasing streetlights, and other issues. The Council will receive regular reports during the General Assembly session regarding the status of legislation that may impact the City. College Park is an active member of the Maryland Municipal League and its 2023 Legislative Priority is to ensure municipalities have the option of creating their own Police Accountability Boards and Charging Committees. MML also has two strategic initiatives: expanding municipal revenue sources and a focus on state policies that promote clear and transparent communications with residents. The City has regularly requested and received State bond bills (for itself and for other organizations in the City) to partially fund capital projects in the City. These projects are funded in the State capital budget that is approved by the General Assembly. The Council may wish to consider requesting state funds for the M- NCPPC pedestrian bridge over the Northeast Branch by the Calvert Road Park; the proposed M-NCPPC small community center in north College Park; and/or stormwater management projects. Fiscal Impact: Funding for the City lobbyists is covered by budgeted funds. Council Options: 1. Discuss and identify City legislative priorities for the General Assembly session. 2. Request additional information about legislation and potential issues to prioritize. Staff Recommendation: Staff will take direction from Council on this issue.

Objective #6: Inspire and nurture a welcoming and inclusive community that encourages and embodies engagement, collaboration, and equity throughout the City. Background/Justification: The City will host approximately 20 events for the community in FY23. The City’s Office of Communications and Events provides support for all City events and is lead for almost all of them. Staff also work with several Boards and Committees that are advisory and provide recommendations for some of the events. The primary purpose of City hosted events is to build community through inclusive activities that appeal to a wide range of residents and community interests. The City’s goal is to produce events that are professional, cohesive, and reflect the community through participation and attendance. This year saw the addition of the successful and popular Friday Night Live concert series held at City Hall Plaza from May through September. This monthly event brought hundreds to Downtown College Park and featured live music, themed nights (including Pride, Salsa/Fiesta, and Oktoberfest), kid's activities, and food vendors. Another new event, the Classic Rock and Car Show, was held in August at City Hall Plaza and brought 30 Classic Cars, 300 classic car enthusiasts, live music, and BBQ to Downtown College Park. The City was able to bring back College Park Day this year. City staff estimated that approximately 11,000 were in attendance throughout the six-hour event. Staff expanded this year’s offerings and activities with two stages including one stage dedicated to family programing; more activities and games like axe throwing and paper airplane competition; and increasing food and drink vendors to thirteen. The City held its first Fourth of July parade on Rhode Island Avenue. More than 500 people participated through 54 groups and approximately 3,000 attended the event. The event had its challenges, particularly when it came to community/resident volunteers (3) and community participation. Staff began advertising for participation months in advance of the parade, but received very few applications, which then prompted staff to directly reach out to many local/community organizations and groups to participate in the parade which was a time consuming and challenging task. To ensure that the parade had engaging participants, the City then had to hire several bands, performers, and entertainers to walk in the parade which consumed a quarter of the budget. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic’s effect on supply, the City and University were unable to host our annual Fourth of July fireworks event, but for 2023, UMD has agreed to once again host the fireworks with the City. This poses major challenges for staff to host two events on the same day. Due to current staff capacity, the City cannot host two separate events on one day and be lead on both. One of the persistent challenges with the Fourth of July fireworks event is that the event is known throughout the community’s as UMD’s fireworks event and not the City’s. A possible option could be that the University fully supports and 006 handles a reduced version event without the band and stage (essentially, just the fireworks). The City could still help fund the fireworks. City staff would focus on the parade and possibly an event afterwards (if Duvall Field is available and not under construction). This requires discussion with UMD which will be scheduled. Another possible option might be for the City to partner with the City of Greenbelt, which would also require a discussion. Staff are primarily responsible for most if not all aspects and logistics of City events, including those that are attached to a City Board or Committee. At times, staff recommendations are at odds with Committee requests which can increase workloads and create inefficiencies. For example, the City’s MLK event has consistently struggled with attendance and participation. While many communities have shifted to hosting a day of service instead of a formal event, this event has remained fairly constant and presents a multitude of challenges (particularly on staff to make this event happen). This year staff is working to add more components to the event but have faced consistent challenges in adapting the event in ways that would engage more community members. Staff have received requests to further increase the quality, number and frequency of certain City events. At current staff capacity, increasing/expanding the number of events would be very difficult. Increased City events staff would be required if we want to continue to grow our events. Aside from staffing costs, there are other event-related needs like the purchasing of Kubota/golf carts for event access/efficiency, and a City vehicle (van) and trailer for easy transportation of items between sites or to pick-up event related material. If Council wishes to expand events or increase the quality of performers/bands, costs will increase to acquire higher profile artists/performers and to increase event offerings. Event related costs in general have been rising due to inflation and residual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which again have budget implications. Recruiting volunteers from the community has been a consistent challenge. For example, for the Fourth of July parade and College Park Day, we only had 3 community volunteers despite months of volunteer advertising and outreach. Most volunteers for our City events have come from area high school students needing SSL hours or compensated City staff. The students needing volunteer hours is not readily available to us during summer months, which further adds to the increased strain on staff resources. To continue to grow our events, we need more members of the community to volunteer at City events. It is a challenge to consistently request or require City staff to work events on holidays. Fiscal Impact: Approximately $218,000 is budgeted for all events in FY23 Council Options: No action required, but staff is interested in receiving feedback from Council regarding City events and so that we can begin working on our upcoming budget request and programming.

Strategic Plan Objective: Innovate and Improve City Services to enhance quality, value and accessibility for all residents. Plan and facilitate strategic economic development and smart growth to support a variety of businesses that can thrive and serve the diverse needs of our community. Inspire and nurture a welcoming and inclusive community that encourages and embodies engagement, collaboration, and equity throughout our City. Background/Justification: The Hospitality and Hotel industry in College Park suffered severe economic calamity during the Pandemic. Loss of revenue from room occupancy, conferences and food sales displaced workers and reduced many services offered by the hotels and restaurants. The Mayor and Council approved the use of ARPA Funds to assist the College Park Hospitality and Hotel industries recover from financial hardship caused by the COVID- 19 Pandemic. On March 21,2022, the office of Economic Development developed and issued notice for the Hospitality Grant program. Deadline for responses was April 25, 2022. The City received five responses to our Tourism Travel and Hospitality Grant program. Our analysis indicates that most applicants are located within the Qualified Census Tract and experienced a significant loss in income and staff shortages that are 8% or more below the applicant’s pre-pandemic employment baseline. Recovery Funds (SLFRF) recipients (City of College Park) may provide “aid to tourism, travel and hospitality…industries.” The Final Rule further states “recipients should identify a negative economic impact, i.e., an economic harm, that is experienced by businesses in the impacted industry. Second, recipients should select a response that is designated to address the identified economic harm resulting from or exacerbated by the public health emergency. Responses must also be related and reasonably proportional to the extent and type of harm experienced.” In conjunction with the City’s ARPA Consultant, Hagerty Consulting, City staff assigned an amount that related to the proportionality of the impact for each applicant and the City of College Park. The following matrix summarizes the application for The Hotel/Southern Management: The Hotel-UMD Southern Requested $500,000 Consultant recommendation Staff recommends Management $500,000 $300,000 Along with the proportional negative economic impact of COVID-19, we can justify our allocations by the number of potential jobs, conferences, and revenues that the Restaurants and Hotels will bring back to our local economy. Of note, the City’s is anticipating the loss of three hotels/motels due to much needed redevelopment: The Red Roof Inn, Days Inn, and Howard Johnson’s closures will result in a loss of approximately 225 rooms. 009 This means that the City needs to ensure the remaining hotel units will remain stable, viable, and attractive vibrant hubs for hospitality and tourism activity. The City’s ARPA funds grant will be issued with the execution of a Beneficiary Agreement between the City and the beneficiary (Hospitality Concern). Staff will ensure that all required intake documents will be received prior to funding the grant. NOTE: To date, using ARPA funds, the City has issued 86 grants to Families and Individuals totaling $125,718.06, and 49 grants to Businesses for a total of $1,212,657.00. These allocations were made by authority and permission from the City Council at the implementation of our $2,500,000 ARPA funded Small Business and Hotel Hospitality grant program. Additionally, the City made a $3,000,000 ARPA Grant to the Community Preservation Trust and The College Park City University Partnership (CPCUP). This Trust will work to preserve affordable housing in the City of College Park. We believe these initiatives will help to further College Park’s recovery from the economic downturn caused by COVID. Fiscal Impact: A total of $300,000 for the grant will be allocated through ARPA Hospitality program funds. Council Options: 1. Authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to finalize the Beneficiary Agreement and allocate funds to The Hotel UMD/Southern Management Companies in the amount of $300,000. 2. Decline to authorize this allocation 3. Delay and request additional information.

The City is anticipating the loss of three hotels/motels due to much needed redevelopment. The Red Roof Inn, Days Inn, and Howard Johnson’s closures will result in a loss of approximately 225 rooms, food selections and jobs. Such losses demand that we take action to ensure the remaining hotels and dining facilities are stable and viable attractions for business, hospitality, and tourism activity. 015 The former Maryland Grill Space at 9,500 square feet is being retrofitted for a new restaurant, GrillMarx UMD, LLC. One of the major activities to be accomplished through the renovation and buildout is to create active use of outdoor patio areas for dining and other activity. Staff is recommending $350,000. The soon-to-open restaurant will deliver approximately 120 jobs. Available positions will range from General Manager, Chef/Kitchen Manager and several assistant managers slots, bartenders, hosts, maintenance workers waiters and waitresses. Wages could range from $18 per hour to $95,000 annually. There are 20-year ownership and lease commitments being made by the owners to the City of College Park location. Additionally, GrillMarx UMD will contribute over $1 million dollars for renovation, payroll and grand opening costs.
