licensee.
2. Comply with all requirements set forth in sections 14-131—14-140.

Government Committee on August 29, 2024.
City Attorney Scalf will present the item for
first reading.
Memo:
This item was discussed at the General Government Committee on August 29, 2024.
The proposed amendment is the result of collaboration between Chief Hamer and
Attorney Scalf to address the increase in calls for service to public spaces, such as
Chandler Park. We considered alternative options, such as placing hours on park
usage, but felt this option was a better solution to attempt to address the concerns.
The proposal provides that the commission of any violation of city ordinance or state
statute while on the premises of another, including public property, can also be charged
as trespass. This provides our officers with an additional path to seek compliance from
offenders and keep our public spaces as free from disruption, noise and disorderly
conduct as possible.

Subject: Burgess Lift Station
Construction Services Contract
Date: September 10, 2024
Public Works is requesting approval to enter into a construction services contract with TWM in an amount,
not to exceed, $43,900. They will be providing construction management services that will include inspection,
shop drawing review, preparation of pay requests and determination of total quantities. A full description of
the services being provided is attached.
A time and materials, not to exceed contract was selected as we may not need them to be onsite full-time
during construction. This gives up flexibility, without being committed to a higher cost. The FY 24/25 budget
allocates $63,000 for engineering services. A portion of this budget is also being used for the NPDES renewal
($2,500) and design of the 2024 sewer lining project ($13,500).

Memorandum
To: Mayor Inman & City Council
From: Alice Ohrtmann, Public Works Director
Subject: Construction of Storage Building at Operations Department
Date: September 12, 2024
As part of the FY24/25 budget, the Operations Department included $120,000 for improvements to their
buildings. One of the planned improvements is the addition of a storage shed attached to the west shed. This
will provide a storage area for smaller pieces of equipment. Brad Whitford laid out the building, developed a
materials list for the project (estimated cost of $11,000), and solicited bids for the construction of the building.
It is his intent to purchase the materials directly from West Side Lumber. He estimated that the cost of
construction would be between $20,000 and $25,000 and that the total cost would be $40,000.
He requested construction bids from three companies.
The bids are:
Laverdiere Construction $24,919
Sullivan Construction $42,500
BMC Contracting $33,850
The Public Works Department is requesting approval to award a contract to Laverdiere Construction in the
amount of $24,919 to construct the storage shed.

EXHIBIT A
SF COMPANIES | SCOPE OF SERVICES
Step 1: Project Kick-Off Call
In this step, Consultant will set up an initial phone call with the Client’s team to cover six topics that allow the
Consultant’s team to begin its work. Those topics are:
• Introductions
• Project History
• Existing Data
• Potential Partners and Stakeholders
• Key Dates for the Project
• Other Questions & Answers
Step 2: Existing Data Review & Market Analysis
In this step, Consultant will review any existing data, documentation, and/or resources provided related to the
project. Consultant will then conduct preliminary market research, which will encompass demographics, sports
participation in the region, and an analysis of existing service providers (competition).
Step 3: Remote Development Planning Session (DPS)
The DPS is a “deep-dive” planning and strategy session that will focus on defining success and refining the
vision, value propositions, financial resources and core competencies, products and services, strategic
alliances, and financial success metrics. During the DPS, Consultant will also share data from its preliminary
market assessment, including key demographic and socioeconomic factors, participation rates, and other
market insights. This will be held via a teleconference via Zoom meeting.
Step 4: Detailed Financial Forecast (Pro Forma)
In this step, Consultant will complete more in-depth research/analysis to produce a 5-year cash flow forecast
and 20-year financial outlook. Consultant’s pro forma documents are detailed, institutional-grade financial
forecasts used to support decision-making and financing.
The pro forma will provide insight into the financial potential of the project and will include projections related to
construction and start-up costs, revenues/expenses by product/program, EBITDA, net income, facility
utilization, and more.
The pro forma will provide the Client with detailed financial projections related to and based on:
• The ideal business model
• Realistic and/or recommended debt-to-equity mix and debt service
• Right-sized program spaces and space requirements
• Construction and start-up costs based on recent, comparable projects
• Recommended parking
• Revenue by product/program
• Direct/variable costs (Cost of Goods Sold)
• Facility and operating expenses
• Management and staffing model
• Utilization Projections

Step 5: Economic Impact Analysis
In this step, Consultant will project the economic impact of the facility on an annual basis. Economic impact is
defined as new off-site spending that will occur in the market as a result of tournaments and events held at the
facility. This information is used to project economic activity from out-of-town visitors who would not be in the
market but for the events that will be held at the facility.
The results, primarily quantified as room nights generated and direct spending, are used by elected officials and
private developers alike to understand the impact that the venue will have on the lodging, dining, retail,
entertainment, and transportation industries as well as on the tax base of the municipalities that benefit from
new spending.
Consultant’s economic impact projections are developed based on projections for tournaments and events
throughout the pro forma and reflective of several key drivers of economic impact, including:
• Number of Events
• Number of Teams
• Number of Participants
• Number of Affiliated Spectators
• Percent of Participants and Affiliated Spectators from Out of Town
• Length of Stay
• Average Daily Rate (ADR)
• Average Daily Expenditures (ADE)
Step 6: Executive Summary & Recommendations
In this step, Consultant will produce a summary report for the project. The summary report will include an
overview of the market analysis and pro forma. Additionally, Consultant will work with the Client to provide
recommendations on the existing facility and programming plan. This will also include considerations around
playing surface materials, onsite amenities, parking, concessions, lighting, and more.
