HomeMy WebLinkAboutID-3261 City of Palo Alto (ID # 3261) City Council Staff Report Report Type: Consent Calendar Meeting Date: 12/10/2012 City of Palo Alto Page 1 Summary Title: TheatreWorks Partnership Agreement Title: Approval of the Renewal of a Public-Private Partnership Agreement Between the City of Palo Alto and TheatreWorks for the use of the Lucie Stern Community Theatre From: City Manager Lead Department: Community Services Recommendation Staff requests that Council approve the renewal of a public-private partnership agreement between the City of Palo Alto and TheatreWorks (Attachment A) for the use of the Lucie Stern Community Theatre for a one-year term. Background The Lucie Stern Community Theatre is used by three local theatre companies which produce approximately 15 productions annually. These three companies (TheatreWorks, the Palo Alto Players, and West Bay Opera) partner with the Community Services Department to produce these shows, which foster the cultural and artistic needs of Palo Alto residents and visitors. The City and these companies each benefit from continuing this relationship. TheatreWorks was founded by San Francisco Bay Area native Robert Kelley in 1970 as a theatre arts workshop for teenage and college students. Chartered by the City of Palo Alto to produce work that would reflect the concerns of the community during an unsettled period in American life, the company produced thirteen wholly original works for the stage in its first three years. Although company actors initially performed in a variety of venues, a tradition was established of staging several shows each season at the Lucie Stern Theatre. City of Palo Alto Page 2 When the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts opened in 1991, the company began producing five main stage productions there each season, along with three productions each season at the Lucie Stern Theatre in Palo Alto. This schedule continues today. Discussion TheatreWorks’ usage of the Lucie Stern Community Theatre is governed by a public/private partnership agreement. Production scheduling is done interdependently between the three groups, and as the cost of relocating a theatre company is prohibitively high, there exists nearly no opportunity for changing the companies that the Lucie Stern Community Theatre serves. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve renewal of the existing public private partnership. The key terms of this agreement are discussed below: Term: The new agreement is for one year. If it is approved, it will have taken effect on September 1, 2012 and will terminate on September 1, 2013. Similar agreements are intended for subsequent years. Revenue: In accordance with the Municipal Fee Schedule and in exchange for providing facility usage, TheatreWorks shall continue to remit to the City a $2/00 surcharge for each ticket sold. This fee is effectively passed on to patrons and is applied to all subscription, group, individual, promotional, and other tickets sold. Complimentary tickets are excluded, and the sum of the surcharge revenue for each production is due to the City within 30 calendar days after the closing of the production. Among other functions, the proposed agreement acts as a revenue contract which governs the application, collection, and accounting of associated revenue. Responsibilities of City: The contract outlines the responsibilities of the City, using the standard terms of public/private and joint-venture partnerships, including specifying goods delivery terms, notice requirements for contract termination, and affirming non-discrimination, insurance, and property guidelines. The City is also responsible for allowing and providing access to the Lucie Stern Community Theatre during designated hours, providing basic maintenance of capital equipment, monitoring production safety, and providing information regarding other scheduled facility uses (such as City-sponsored City of Palo Alto Page 3 events or private rentals). Responsibilities of Company: Additionally, the agreement stipulates the responsibilities of the theatre company, including their duty to abide by City and department policies and procedures (specifically including and as related to, without limitation, conduct in community centers, injury and illness prevention, sale of alcoholic beverages, operations, building emergency procedures, zero waste, and facility use). Other responsibilities include timely remittance of fees and surcharges, requirements for sufficient building supervision/staffing, recordkeeping of ticket sales and surcharge remittance for compliance with audits, and adherence to standard practices for facility security. This renewed agreement is substantially similar to previous agreement. The $2.00 ticket surcharge is consistent with the Municipal Fee Schedule adjustments effective 07/01/2012. Resource Impact No additional City resources are required as a result of the renewal of this agreement and it is anticipated that this partnership will lead to enhanced program and capital funding over the life of the agreement. Policy Implications This partnership would be categorized as a Joint Venture partnership under the City’s Public/Private Partnership Policy (Policy 1-25; Public Private Partnerships; Attachment B). The partnership with TheatreWorks furthers Policy C-7 of the Community Services element of the Comprehensive Plan: “Actively work with private, nonprofit, and public community service organization to avoid duplication and to coordinate the delivery of services like child care, senior services, and recreation” and Policy G-12 of the Governance element: “Continue and expand the opportunities for public and nonprofit organizations serving the City to provide information about themselves to the public.” Environmental Review This is not a project requiring environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.

For the purposes of this policy, “public/private” also encompasses “public/nonprofit” partnerships. Definitions Public/private partnership: A public/private partnership is an agreement between the City and a nonprofit or private organization to provide services or to assist in funding of public facilities and programs. Such partnerships may take various forms, including: • Acceptance of or solicitation of service or facility proposals • Facilitation of such proposals through the City's regulatory process • Waiver of City General Fund fees to help reduce project costs. • Contributions of City matching funds for construction of facilities to be owned and controlled or operated by the City. • Provision of facilities to the private partner at no charge or at a subsidized rent. Public/private partnerships typically fall into one of three categories: co-sponsorship, alliances or joint ventures. Co-Sponsorships: This is the most common type of public/private partnership. An organization furthers the mission of the City by supporting a City activity or program in conjunction with pursuit of that organization’s own mission or program. Co-sponsorships can take the form of one-time events or annual agreements. Some examples of co-sponsorships include the Palo Alto Tennis Club use of City courts to provide a youth tennis program and American Youth Soccer Organization’s use of space in a City facility to train referees. Co- sponsorships are entered into by staff and normally have no or minimal financial impact. Alliances: This type of public/private partnership involves organizations that have been created for the sole purpose of supporting a City program or an array of City programs. The organization does not expect to receive any direct financial benefit or to alter City policy and/or operations, but undertakes to work closely and cooperatively with staff to implement City goals. Alliance organizations include the Recreation Foundation, the Art Center Foundation (Project Look or Cultural Kaleidoscope), the Friends of the Children’s Theatre (the Magic Castle), the Library Foundation and the Friends of the Palo Alto Library (financial assistance with the renovation and expansion of the Children’s Library). Alliances are approved by the Council if there are any staffing or budgetary implications to the partnership. POLICY AND PROCEDURES 1-25/MGR REVISED: AUGUST 2007 2 Joint Ventures: This type of partnership involves organizations which have programs or missions independent of the City and involve the City entering into a contractual relationship with the public or nonprofit organization with both parties contributing to the partnership for their mutual benefit. Each joint venture is uniquely negotiated by the staff and approved by the City Council. Examples of Joint Ventures include TheatreWorks, Palo Alto Players and West Bay Opera’s use of the Community Theatre and use of the former police station by older adult service provider, Avenidas. PROCEDURES Initiation of partnerships: Public/private partnerships may be initiated in one of three ways: • By staff: Staff identifies an opportunity for such a partnership and undertakes an informal or formal request for proposal process to identify partners. • By Council: The City Council directs staff to work with a private or nonprofit organization to develop such a partnership. • By a private or nonprofit organization: An organization makes a partnership proposal to the staff or City. City Manager Review: If the partnership proposal involves more than one City department, the City Manager’s Office will appoint a team with representatives of all City departments who are stakeholders in the partnership proposal. The team will analyze the proposal and inform the City Manager of the resource implications of the proposal, including staffing and monetary commitments. This would include proposed fee waivers. If the proposal will require a re-ordering of department priorities that have already been approved by the Council in setting its annual priorities or in the budget process, Council approval will be required prior to commitment to the partnership. Council approval will also be required if the partnership requires a new or adjusted allocation of operating or capital funding. Note: Co-sponsorships usually only involve a single department and do not necessitate the formation of an interdepartmental committee, the involvement of the City Manager’s Office or the approval of the City Council. City-Initiated Partnerships: Such partnerships will be guided by existing policies and procedures governing purchasing and outsourcing, using “requests for proposals” and/or bid processes as the method of initiating a partnership. A City-initiated partnership may incorporate incentives including naming rights, waiver of non-enterprise fund building and planning fees, reduced lease rates, free use of space, subsidies, and staff resources. All incentives may be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. POLICY AND PROCEDURES 1-25/MGR REVISED: AUGUST 2007 3 Evaluation of Viability of Partnering Organization: Staff will provide the City Manager and/or City Council with its assessment of the viability of the proposed partnership, based on the partnering organization’s possession of sound organizational, administrative and fiscal management, and its demonstrated experience to achieve and sustain project tasks, such as fundraising and building community support. For proposed facility improvement or expansion initiatives, the nonprofit or private organization should have the ability and commitment to make a substantial pledge to the project’s cost. Facilities Proposals: • If a City facility is to be renovated, expanded or otherwise be directly affected by the partnership, the Infrastructure Management Plan will have to be adjusted appropriately. • Long-term staffing, operational and maintenance costs must be identified in the proposal. The project’s applicable costs and funding sources for furnishings, fixtures and equipment will be identified. • The parties will negotiate the joint or separate financial responsibility for any project cost overruns on a project-by-project basis. • Staff may recommend that any standard City processing or use fee authorized under the Municipal Fee Schedule, excluding fees and charges levied by City of Palo Alto Utilities or other City enterprise fund programs, should be waived as a condition of the City's participation. Waiver of fees may be granted by the Council and limited to those fees associated with a construction or capital improvement project which, upon its completion, results in a new or improved public facility, building or park, or some portion thereof, that will be solely owned or controlled by the City. In the event that only a portion of a construction or capital improvement project will result in a new or improved City facility, building or park, or portion thereof, then the Council may waive only that portion of any associated fee directly relating to the construction, improvement or enhancement of the City facility, building or park. As appropriate, the summary and recommendation in the report to the Council will include a staff recommendation on waiving fees which the Council can approve or reject. • The City will determine whether the nonprofit or private organization shall use or may forego a formal or informal competitive selection process in the hiring of professionals who will perform the management, design and/or construction phases of the project. The City shall review and approve the requirements for and the performance of all phases of design, planning and construction work for the project.
