Dana will manage daily operations and enhance Greater Williamsburg's appeal and act as a liaison with contractors and localities. 5. Reports 1. Financial Report Barbara Dameron, Finance Director, presented the financial report. She highlighted that about $27,000 in deposits were collected and introduced a lease asset for the ground lease, noting it surpasses the Page 1 of 5 Page 2 of 39 Historic Triangle Recreational Facilities Authority 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 Page 2 of 5 Page 3 of 39 Historic Triangle Recreational Facilities Authority August 13, 2025 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. 6.

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.
