FOR 2017 - 2021, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE ALL CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE
IRONMAN AND IRONMAN 70.3 EVENTS
BACKGROUND: The World Triathlon Corporation, owner and producer
of Ironman and Ironman 70.3 Events, has asked Santa Rosa to host an
Ironman and an Ironman 70.3 Event (Events) in the five consecutive
years beginning in 2017 and ending in 2021. These Events will take
place on the second Saturday in May and the 4th Saturday in July. The
City of Santa Rosa and the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce are
proposing to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding to outline the
elements in the agreement that each entity will be responsible for to
ensure all obligations under Event Agreement are addressed. The
annual cost to produce these two events is estimated not to exceed
$500,000. All funds to produce the events will be provided from the
Santa Rosa Tourism Business Improvement Area, the Sonoma County
Tourism Business Improvement Area, and additional fundraising. Based
on analysis of similar Ironman events including the average stay and the
average spending, Santa Rosa is expecting a return of $13.8M direct
impact to our local economy (hotels, restaurants and other service) per
year.

Development Department that the Council, by resolution, approve the

Brittain Lane and W. Third Street). The annexation of these areas is not
part of the package being reviewed by the Council at this time. The EIR
