The City of Williamsburg hired Victus Advisors and HVS Consulting to reassess the potential for a regional sports facility, following up on previous studies. Both analyses were favorable, showing a reduced projected operating deficit from earlier estimates and highlighting positive economic impacts from visitor spending. The facility is expected to operate at an annual deficit of $363,400, while generating approximately $1,362,800 in tax revenue from local sales, lodging, and room taxes. The financing plan includes an $80 million capital cost, funded by debt managed by the HTRFA. The City of Williamsburg will contribute $7.7 million from an existing account and $2.5 million annually. The HTRFA will also contribute funds from project reserves and annual state funds. The estimated annual operating cost is $4,629,800, with revenues of $3,506,100 expected by the stabilization year, supplemented by contributions from James City and York Counties. James City and York County will provide $1.6 million annually for the first five years to cover operating costs, transitioning to a variable support structure from year six onward, with minimum and maximum contributions set at $300,000 and $800,000, respectively. The City of Williamsburg will cover 64% of the debt service, while HTRFA will cover the remaining 36%. The Authority and Mr. Sanderson discussed the Locality Financing Plan. Moved by Steven, seconded by Carnifax, to authorize Davenport and Co. to proceed with the necessary steps to execute the financing plan as proposed.

Previous Relevant Action None Staff Recommendation None Page 1 of 1 Page 32 of 38 Staff Contact Andrew Trivette, City Manager Agenda Item Wording Consideration of and Action on a Proposed Updated Policy on Electronic Participation in Meetings From Remote Locations - Dan Siegel, Sands Anderson Background Information The General Assembly made a number of changes to the Freedom of Information Act requirements during the 2024 session, including to the electronic meeting participation including requirements for members to participate in meetings remotely. This included adding a caregiver provision, so in addition to personal or medical reasons of the member, a member may now utilize remote participation if the member is caring for a person with a disability during the time the meeting is scheduled. Members participating remotely previously did not count for purposes of a determining a quorum. Now, if a member is participating remotely because of his or her own disability or because they are caring for someone with a disability, the member will count for purposes of a quorum, so long as the audio-visual connection stays connected, and the video stays on during the meeting. The member's presence for purposes of a quorum will be lost if the audio connection is lost or the video is disconnected or fails. In other words, for this purpose, the member may mute his or her sound, but must have their camera on during the meeting to continue to count toward the quorum. Since the Authority adopted its policy, the maximum number of meetings for which remote participation is allowed increased from 2 to 2 or 25% of the meetings in a calendar year, rounded up to the next whole number, whichever is greater. Finally, HB 894 now requires the public bodies utilizing remote participation to re-adopt its policy annually. This update shall serve as the readoption this year for the Authority. The proposed updated policy addresses all of the new requirements of the Code of Virginia Previous Relevant Action September 14. 2022 - HTRFA Authority adoption of an Electronic Meeting Policy Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Authority Board adopt the policy as drafted. Attachments Historic Triangle Recreational Updated 2024 Electronic Meetings Changes Shown Page 1 of 6 Page 33 of 38 Page 2 of 6 Page 34 of 38 POLICY ON ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION IN MEETINGS FROM REMOTE LOCATIONS Except as provided hereafter, the Historic Triangle Recreational Facilities Authority (the "Authority") does not conduct any meeting wherein the public business is discussed or transacted through telephonic, video, electronic, or other electronic communication means where the members are not physically assembled. This Policy is applied strictly and uniformly, without exception, to the entire membership of the Authority and without regard to the identity of the member requesting remote participation or the matters that will be considered or voted on at the meeting. This Policy shall also be applicable to any committee, subcommittee, task force or other entity of the Authority. This Policy is adopted to comply with the provisions of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, § 2.2-3701 et seq. of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended (the "Act"). For the purposes of this Policy, "electronic communication" means the use of technology having electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic, or similar capabilities to transmit or receive information.

The catastrophic nature of the declared emergency makes it impracticable or unsafe to assemble a quorum in a single location; and ii. The purpose of the meeting is to provide for the continuity of operations of the Authority or the discharge of its lawful purposes, duties, and responsibilities. b. If it holds a meeting pursuant to this section, the Authority shall: i. Give public notice using the best available method given the nature of the emergency contemporaneously with the notice provided members of the Authority; ii. Make arrangements for public access to the meeting through electronic communications means, including videoconferencing if already used by the Authority; and iii.
