Three Start and Finish of the 2016 Women’s Tour. Host city obligations
for a men’s and women’s stage start and finish in one day are
substantially concurrent and similar to obligations committed to for the
previous seven of the past ten Tours in which the City of Santa Rosa has
participated. In addition to infrastructure and general production costs,
part of the Tour hosting obligations require the City to enter into other
agreements such as facility rental agreements in individual amounts that
do not exceed $100,000. The cost to produce the 2016 seventh stage of
the men’s Tour and third stage of the women’s Tour is estimated not to
exceed $350,000. All funds to produce the event are raised through
City of Santa Rosa
