Page 2 of 39

August 13, 2025
liability due to GASB requirements. This excess will persist until 2030,
then revert. She clarified the financial report by segmenting operating
and non-operating items and differentiating HTRFA from Kemper
expenses. A $129,000 deficit was noted this month as locality
contributions were recently billed, expecting resolution in the next report.
Chair Trivette added that they plan to finalize project financing with final
borrowing in September, contingent on resolving demolition cost
inquiries within 30 days.
2. Executive Director's Report
There was no report.
3. WSEC Operator Report
Ben Hardouin, General Manager at the Greater Williamsburg Sports
and Events Center, presented the operator's report with John Di
Meglio, Vice President of Operations at Kemper Sports. They are
collaborating with MEB, Todd Walker, and others on FF&E quotes, with
chair quotes received and wayfinding signage being finalized. Staff
additions include Heidi Hume as Sales and Marketing Manager and
Antonio Gonzalez as Sports and Operations Manager. Key updates:
facility phone line activation, meetings with municipal parks
departments, and the activation of social media. They will participate in
a conference in Miami with 60 planned appointments and partnership
with the Superlative Group for sponsorships. Operations are on track,
with marketing gaining traction post-website launch, bringing in partners
such as women's basketball groups and elite events. Their LinkedIn
channel saw 1,200 impressions in three weeks. New non-sports-event
inquiries include Corvette Restoration Shows and multi-day industry
conferences. The schedule for the Connect conference is pending but
will include 30 conference-related appointments.
4. Construction Report
Todd Walker, Construction Manager, reported that the project is
currently 11 working days ahead of schedule, based on the latest CPM
update. They anticipate gaining more days and plan to include
completion dates in future reports. Milestone updates include
establishing permanent power on July 8, achieving full building dryness
by September 2025, installing most windows barring two sections for
equipment access, scheduling HVAC startup for August (hub area) and
September (sports courts), and completing 40% of site work, including
curb and gutter on the ring road. Building progress stands at 65%
overall completion. Completed items include the feature gym window
wall, 65-80% of other windows, all interior framing and sprinkler rough-
ins, and 95% of MEP rough-ins. Drywall installation has begun in the

mezzanine, with the hub space at 65% completion, including servery
framing and gypsum board. The walk-in cooler and freezer are installed,
and kitchen painting has started. Sports courts are 45% complete, with
turf roller systems, hydraulics, and winch systems installed. The PEMB
ceiling is painted.
Mr. Carnifax asked about the sequence for turf and maple flooring
installation; Mr. Walker confirmed the turf would be installed first, and
the entire flooring process is expected to take 10-12 weeks.
5. Legal Report
Robyn Hansen, Legal Counsel, reported that their work had primarily
involved general legal review of a few contracts and discussing various
issues, with nothing of significant importance to report.

9. Unfinished Business
10. New Business
1. Consideration and Authorization for the Board Chair to Execute a
Contract for Network and Infrastructure Cabling at the Greater
Williamsburg Sports and Events Center - Mark Barham, Chief
Information Officer
AIS-25-087
Mark Barham, Chief Information Officer, explained that the Greater
Williamsburg Sports and Events Center (GWSEC) requires network and
infrastructure cabling to support computers, wireless access, cable TV,
and cameras. The project was designed by Bazon-Cox, a local company
from Chesapeake, and was priced using a state contract. While the
expense is budgeted within the GWSEC budget, board authorization is
required because the price exceeds $100,000. The staff
recommendation was for the board to authorize the chair to execute a
contract with Bazon-Cox for network and infrastructure cabling not to
exceed $124,307.87.
Moved by Carnifax, seconded by Fuller, to approve the chair to
execute the contract subject to counsel's finalization and review of
the legal form.
Carried 6-0-0 by a roll call vote:
Ayes: Hutton, Trivette, Stevens, Bellamy, Fuller, Carnifax
11. Adjournment
At 4:17 p.m., there being no additional business before the Board, the HTRFA
meeting of August 13, 2025, was adjourned.
Moved by Fuller, seconded by Carnifax, to adjourn.
Carried 6-0-0 by a roll call vote:

Agenda Item Wording
Consideration and Authorization for the Board Chair to Execute a Contract for Network
Equipment at the Greater Williamsburg Sports and Events Center - Mark Barham, Chief
Information Officer
Background Information
The Greater Williamsburg Sports and Events Center requires network equipment for its
wired and wireless networks. This contract supports the purchase, installation, and testing of
all network equipment to support computers, wireless access, cameras, and cable TV for the
entire facility.
This project was designed by ViCOM and priced using the VASCUPP contract (C0002424).
While it is a budgeted expense within the sports and events center project, board
authorization is required because the price exceeds $100,000.
Previous Relevant Action
N/A
Staff Recommendation
That the board authorize the chair to execute a contract with ViCOM for network equipment
for the sports center, not to exceed $180,085.02
