Mr. Fichtner added 5% to the contract amount because we do not know who will win the bid with the state. The contract is for the current MS licenses and for the additional twelve for the PAEC.

Wenger was the lowest responsive bidder at $403,459.00. The project is on time and on budget. Our consultant recommended a 5% contingency ($1.78m). It is lower than other contingencies because it is a specified project, not standard/typical.

Mr. Ariwoola presented the PAEC quarterly report as through the end of 12/31/16. Based on where we were at the end of December, this cash balance will sustain us until the end of February or March. The monthly payment is $1.3-$1.5m. Through the end of today, we have out of the $2.8m; we have paid another $1.5m. 92% of the one million in private donations has already been raised and in the bank. CDBG can only be used for specific, qualifying expenses. The plan is to make another draw in March and that will most likely be the last one. We will net the entire 3m for the CDBG. The NMTC formula is set up so that we would receive about .87 to the dollar. No further action.

TEG RECOMMENDATION Approve the Tourism Enhancement Grant Committee (TEG) recommendation for the January through June 2017 round of TEG Applications. Tourism Enhancement Grants are recommended to the following organizations: • Pacific Bonsai Museum, $3,000 • Federal Way Harmony Kings, $2,000 • Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, $2,500 • USA Taekwondo, $3,500 BACKGROUND Two rounds of the Tourism Enhancement Grants are included in the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee work program and budget for 2017. A total amount of$35,000 has been proposed in the 2017 budget for grant awards over two rounds:January-June and July-December. DISCUSSION At their February 2, 2017 meeting the TEG Subcommittee reviewed the applications and interviewed representatives from four organizations that submitted grant requests for a total of $22,400. The Subcommittee then scored each application based on 16 objective criteria related to the tourism impact that each event would bring to the City of Federal Way. See Attachment A, Scoring Matrix for Evaluation of TEG Event Applications and Non Event Applications . Key to this is the change in the evaluation. The State has determined that a tourist is to be defined as a person traveling more than fifty(50) miles from their home or place of business to attend an event. On the projected participants and spectators section of the Scoring Matrix used during TEG applicant interviews, a question is now asked if these groups are coming from a distance of more than 50 miles to comply with RCW 67.28.1816. The City of Federal Way will be required in 2017 to illustrate that those selected for TEG's provide data fulfilling this requirement. While grants can still be recommended for groups that draw from the local area specifically illustrating impacts to hotels and the economy,the priority will be for applicants drawing from over fifty(50)miles. The Subcommittee recommended granting the following amounts: Pacific Bonsai Museum, $3,000; Federal Way Harmony Kings, $2,000; Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, $2,500; and USA Taekwondo, $3,500 FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS Approximately$11,000 has been recommended for 4 awards out of the 4 applications submitted from the $30,000 LTAC budget allocation for TEG's. 1 10 Page 2 of 2 Staff Report:TEG Recommendation POLICY CONSIDERATIONS The approval for these awards was in accordance with LTAC approved budget for 2017/18 and the City Council along is within state direction for use of such funds.

OVERVIEW OF PROCESS Mike Dunwiddie provided details of the Mission and process of TEG Subcommittee meetings.

Tim was asked by the applicants if the judges' travel and lodging could be paid for. The answer was no. Tim clarified the kinds of expenditures the grant money could be used for. Mike Dunwiddie asked if the number of hotel rooms needed for people coming from outside of a 50 mile radius would be more or less than 50 and the applicants indicated it would be less. The applicants were thanked for their time and they exited the room. Discussion—Scoring will be discussed after all applicant presentations have been heard. Scoring Matrix total= 22 TEG Subcommittee Summary February 2,2017 Page 1 12 b. Pacific Bonsai Museum —Event name: Natives. Presentation by Kathy McCabe, Executive Director. Introductions took place. Mike Dunwiddie welcomed Kathy and she began her presentation. Kathy explained that the Pacific Bonsai Museum had 15% growth last year and expressed that the City of Federal Way was a big factor in that growth. The Natives Exhibit will be a long-running event and international artists will be showcased. Kathy mentioned the exhibit will contain trees native to North America and distributed flyers giving more details on the exhibit. Visitors will come from all over the country and from outside of the United States. She mentioned the Pacific Bonsai Museum is the number one result on TripAdvisor for Federal Way and they also partner with Travel Tacoma and Visit Seattle. Kathy described their current marketing campaigns and the geographical area those campaigns reach. She discussed the upcoming tradeshows and events the Pacific Bonsai Museum will be attending, including an event in Japan. Question and Answer portion of interview—Lana asked if they have a way of identifying how people heard about the museum and Kathy responded that the Museum has hired an intern who will be working on a way to measure this. Michelle Wallace asked about visitors staying from outside the area and Kathy didn't have an exact estimate. Tim asked if she has applied and/or received any other grants for this event. She stated they have not received or applied yet, but primarily because the grant application periods have not begun. Doreen asked if people from 50+ miles away are taking advantage of the group tours. Kathy indicated that at this time most tours consist of people from within 50 miles of Federal Way, but they are looking into contacting tour guide agencies in order to attract visitors from outside of the 50 mile radius. Kathy was thanked for her time and exited the room. Discussion—Scoring will be discussed after all applicant presentations have been heard. Scoring Matrix total= 36 c. Rhododendron Species Garden —Event name: 2017 Rhododendron Species Foundation Symposium. Presentation by Ian Walker, Board Member, Amanda Glazer, Program & Outreach Manager, and Steve Hootman, Executive Director. Introductions took place. This is the second official Species Symposium, but technically the third event they have hosted. It is typically a two to three day event held in spring. People come yearly from Oregon, California and Canada and stay in hotels. Classes are held and international experts come to sit on board.There will be an international speaker coming, and they hope this will bring in more visitors from out of state. At this time, 35 people have signed up, and 8 are from out of the area. It's anticipated they will have more people register as the event gets closer. Projected spectator numbers are between 200-500 people. They have developed a telephone tree to call members and encourage them to attend the event. Question and Answer portion of interview—Mike Dunwiddie asked if the estimated number of hotel stays is between 50-100? Ian answered yes. Mike asked that out of the 275 spectators, approximately how many would be travelling from outside the 50 mile radius. The presenters estimated over half, but less than 200 people. Tim Johnson explained the process of determining the grant awards to the applicants. The applicants were thanked for their time and exited the room. Discussion—Scoring will be discussed after all applicant presentations have been heard. Scoring Matrix total= 31 d. Taekwondo Washington —Event name: 2017 USAT Washington State Championship. Presentation by Debbie Winters, Master Teacher and Treasurer and Angie Lee, Owner and Vice President of VSAT Washington. Introductions took place. This is a regional qualifier for the National Championships. There will be people coming from all around the region and out of state. There will be approximately 300-350 athletes, 15% of athletes outside of WA, 10% from outside of 60+ miles and 27% of athletes 45+ miles out. The event will be held at Decatur High School. There will be a referee seminar the day prior to the event for training; referees will come from WA and OR. This is a smaller event (but larger than previous years); they are looking to host bigger events in the area in the future. The proximity to the airport makes the event desirable to out-of-state competitors. Because of TEG Subcommittee Summary February 12�2017 Page 2 the timing of Oregon's event, it makes Washington's event more appealing to Oregon's athletes, requiring them to travel and stay overnight locally. Ms. Lee described the ways they are marketing the event, including face-to-face conversations and mailers. Question and Answer portion of interview—Tim Johnson asked for clarification on the amount of funds requested, because the amount requested in the presentation was different from the amount listed on the application submitted. Ms. Lee clarified that they are requesting $12,900 as indicated on the presentation materials. Mike asked about the number of spectators and Ms. Lee estimated about 500, with an estimate of 27% of those coming from out of state. Mike asked about the number of room nights estimated with travelers coming from over 50 miles away and the number was estimated at a little less than 50 rooms. Tim asked about an updated revenue forecast, since the budget in the application does not match what was provided in the materials passed out. There was a question about the cost of renting the venue, and the number provided was based on an estimate from last year's event. The actual cost of renting Decatur High School has not been identified. Tim clarified to the presenters what the grant funds may be used for, and what they may not be used for. After discussion, it was determined that approximately $9,000 of the requested $12,900 could be considered for the grant funds. Tim asked if Decatur High School has been secured and Ms. Lee indicated all applications to the school have been submitted, but they are still waiting for the final approval from one person. The applicants were thanked for their time and exited the room. Discussion—Scoring will be discussed after all applicant presentations have been heard. Scoring Matrix total=26 5. GENERAL DISCUSSION The Pacific Bonsai Museum discussion was held and scoring totaled 36 points. Mike Dunwiddie suggested the award amount not exceed last year's award of $3,000, he then suggested the award be exactly$3,000. The Subcommittee concurred.

This will be the fifth year this event has been scheduled in Federal Way, and it has brought many people to our hotels and restaurants. The Evergreen District of the Barbershop Harmony Society has been very impressed with Federal Way, and is considering bringing it back on an annual basis. This contest consists of the all of the choruses in Division II of the Evergreen District including almost all of the choruses and quartets west of the Cascades. We have been advised that the groups in Division I may also be included bringing participants from British Columbia. We may not have an update on this for several months,but it is already becoming late to reserve a venue in Canada. Grant support is critical to our success with an event such as this, as we cannot afford to risk a financial loss.

Barbershop Hannony is a true American art form. °The general public will be welcome at any of the contest events, the Show of Champions,and the Afterglow after the last performance on Saturday evening. In the past the contest has consisted of male singers. Last year we included mixed quartets singing barbershop arrangements and are reaching a Iarger number of participants. We were one of the first Divisions in the International Society to do this. Ironically,a mixed quartet had the highest score in the contest! This year we will be initiating a"Tag Contest"involving the teaching of a short barbershop arrangement,usually the chord-bending end of a song,and evaluating the performance of four or five participants. The general public will be encouraged to participate by having experienced barbershop singm sing with them.

He is in charge of marketing the chorus and our events,and will take over the promotion of this contest. The event will be marketed to members of the Barbershop Harmony Society through publications received by each member, including a listing in the International Society magazine, The Harmonizer, several listings, articles and advertisements in The Timbre, the monthly online publication of the Evergreen District of the Society and The Greenline, an online newsletter that is written when there is news to share among the membership. It will be listed in the online calendar of events for the Evergreen District of the Barbershop Harmony Society and on the Federal Way Harmony Kings' web site. Each chorus in the Division will receive an invitation to participate,and follow-up phone calls and chapter visits will be made to several of the smaller choruses that might be vacillating about participation. The event will be publicized on Facebook and Twitter accounts of our membership. Word of mouth from the barbershop chorus membership is one of our most effective marketing tools. We will publicize the event with several ads in the Federal Way Mirror if we have enough lead-in funds available. A large sign is provided on 320` street by the venue (Our Savior's Baptist Church) for two weeks prior to the event. Hotel Rooms The Clarion Hotel provides us with a list of all the rooms reserved through the Barbershop Harmony Society hold. As some participants and spectators may choose to use a different hotel, it becomes difficult to provide an accurate count on the total number of rooms utilized. We will have a questionnaire at the registration desk to help gather that information. 31 2017 WESTERN WASHINGTON DIVISIONII BARBERSHOP CHORUS AND QUARTET CONTEST AND INTERNATIONAL PRELIMS Federal Way Harmony Kings/Seattle SeaChordsmen April 21 & 22, 2017 Preliminary Budget October 1,2016 Page 1 of 2 INCOME 2016 2016 2017 2017 Est/(Actual) Actual $Estimate All Events Tickets"Early Bird" 115 @ $60 120 @ $60 $ 7,200 Competitor (122 2 $60) $ 7,320 All Events Tickets after April 1 85 @ $70 95 @ $70 $ 6,650 Competitor (96 2 $70) $ 6,720 All Event Non-competitor 70 @ $35 45 @ $30 $ 1,350 (46 @ $30) $ 1,380 Individual Ticket Sales $ 1,550 $1,550 $ 1,550 TOTAL TICKET SALES $ 16,970 $ 16,750 Program Ads Federal Way Tourist Enhancement Grant $2,000 Evergreen District: Judge's Double Panel $1,500 -0- -0- Pending TOTAL INCOME $ 16 970 $ 16,750 EXPENSES Auditorium Rental Our Savior's $ 1,200 $ 1,300 Deposit Baptist Deposit Returned, 5-13-2016 Church Sound Technician Our Savior's $ 612.50 $ 700 Lighting Technician Our Savior's $ 612.50 $ 700 Publicity Our Savior's $ 45.00 $ 45 Total: $2970 +Exchange +Exchange -deposit= With FW With FW $ 2,530 _ Mirror Mirror Hotel Meeting Rooms Clarion Clarion Inn NC Inn N/C Judges Travel Expense $1,969 *** $ 3,000 Judges Hotel 8 @ $99.24 8@$105 $ 2,140 (Includes Contest Admin.) 2 @ $110.39 2@$115 X 2 Nights) $2,201 X 2 Ni hts Judges Meals $ 570 $ 600 Judges Gifts (Federal Way Memorabilia) $ 63 $ 75 Judges Transportation&Parking donated donated Judges Misc.

The USA Taekwondo under the U.S.Olympic Committee(USOC)requires that each State Association(USAT WA)hosts an annual State Championsliip. Taekwondo athletes will qualify to go to[.LSAT Nationals through the State Championships. There are demo Team,Individual Forms,Team Forms,Pairs Forms,Board Breaking and Sparring competition events. Students from as young as 5 years old to senior citizens compete to earn their spot to Nationals. This is a large family event. Families travel together to cheer on their athletes. All competitors are required to weigh in the day before the event and all officials who will judge the events are required to participate in a referee seminar conducted the day before the event day. These requirements make this a multi day event. This will be our third year in charge of the event. The past two years we have hosted at Edmonds Community College and grew from 180 participants in 2015 to 260 particpants in 2015 from WA,OR,CA and MT. We hope to grow again in 2017. 113 of the competitiors in 2016 came from out of state and 1 think Federal Way with its location near Seatac Airport will be attractive to more of state athletes. Because they are traveling from a long distance these families wiI]stay in the surrounding area and will spend money for lodging,food and tourism. Is there a cultural or educational value to the event? If yes,please explain. Taekwondo is a Korean martial arts that is only one of three martial arts that are an official Olympic sport. Taekwondo emphasises self defense,fitness and character. Taekwondo students are taught to show respect and have perseverance.

The process began in 2015; however, the sample size was small. The survey for 2016 was double the size of 2015. This effort has produced some very valuable insight. While we are still working on disaggregating the information on the credit needs of women, minorities and disabled - owned businesses, the attached material provides the key highlights from the survey. Rich Shockley, the Director of the SBDC will be joining me in presenting this information to your Committee for discussion. TIM JOHNSON ATTACHMENT: Executive Summary, Federal Way: Credit Needs Survey of Small and Midsize Enterprises 65 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Federal Way: Credit Needs Survey of Small and Midsize Enterprises The City of Federal Way with the assistance of the Small Business Development Center at Highline College have been surveying the credit needs of Small and Midsize Enterprises (SMEs) in 2016. Key to this work has been the focus on SME's access to and availability of capital. SMEs play a significant role in Washington. According to the State of Washington's Employment Security Department, over 99 percent of businesses in the state are defined as small business (less than 500 employees) and they employ an estimated 74 percent of the state's private sector labor force while 1 percent employs 26 percent. In Federal Way, nearly 100 percent of the businesses are SMEs. Less than a handful employ several thousands. The purpose of this examination is twofold; • To ascertain the credit needs of SMEs in Federal Way ■ Specific focus on the credit needs of women, minorities and the disabled owner businesses. The following captures the findings of the survey and provides insight in helping development a strategy to enhance SMEs access to and availability to capital. HIGHLIGHTS: 81 percent of the survey respondents either employed no one to 4 employees. This is reflective of the business composition of Federal Way. • 56 percent of the respondents were women, minority or disabled owned. This illustrates the diversity within the Federal Way market. • 78 percent identified that they were not able to acquire capital. This is discouraging as it is now ten years after the beginning of the nation's "Credit Crisis." Apparently credit remains a lingering issue at least in Federal Way for SMEs. It also remains similarly high for current and future credit demands based upon the survey. • There still remains a very high use of credit cards to finance business growth. RESULTS: CREDIT NEEDS SURVEY • While Professional and Business Services represented the largest segment of businesses surveyed at 21 percent, the businesses surveyed represented a well- rounded response of the segments of the Federal Way economy. 1 66 38 percent of the businesses survey identified that they had only been in business less than a year, however, 62 percent had been in business one year or longer. With 15 percent being in business ten plus years. 58 percent of the businesses surveyed identified that they employ between 1 to 4 employees. Additionally, 23 percent surveyed identified that they do not employ anyone. 56 percent of the businesses surveyed were identified as minority, women or disabled owned businesses. • 72 percent of the businesses surveyed identified that they have not been able to acquire capital. Meaning that those at the time of interview have not been successful. • Over 20 percent of the businesses survey identified that they used credit cards to finance their business in the last 36 months. 20 percent used retained earnings and 17 percent used a loan from a family member or friend. • 25 percent of the businesses surveyed identified that they had been denied a bank loan in the last 36 months. 23 percent identified that they had been denied a standard bank loan during the same timeframe. • 74 percent of the businesses that responded to the survey identified that they have a current need for credit. • 36 percent identified that they could use a current loan for working capital followed by 19 percent that identified they could use it for personnel. • While 24 percent of the respondents identified that they could use a loan of less than $50,000, nearly 50 percent surveyed identified that they could use a loan less than $100,000. The median loan size of the credit need identified is in the range of $50,000 to $75,000. • Respondents identified that the top reasons for a future loan need were for Working Capital at 23 percent; Personnel and Equipment both at 20 percent and Expanded Product or Service Lines at 17 percent. • 55 percent of the respondents identified that access to capital is most significant to their business operations. • 34 percent identified that governmental regulations is least significant to their business operations. Nearly 70 percent identified that it was most to fairly significant. • 51 percent identified that inflation is slightly significant to their business operations • 45 percent identified that their ability to find quality employees is least significant while nearly 20 percent identified it as most significant. 2 67 At one point or another, most business owners have to think about how they will finance their operations. Since the "Great Recession," SMEs have different options. However, while it appears that the traditional means of bank loans or use of Small Business Administration back loans are still popular, other tools are sought. Funding your business out of your own pocket, commonly known as "bootstrapping," is the simplest, but potentially most difficult, financing route. On the one hand, you are in total control of your finances: You don't have to make any payments to lenders or share equity with investors. On the other hand, you're on the hook for every penny you sink into the company, and if it fails, your personal funds are going down with it. In the last several years, the business finance world has exploded with "alternative lenders," companies that provide quicker, smaller loans through an online application and transfer process. Depending on your credit score, you can be approved for a loan in a matter of minutes and have your money in just a day or two. Venture capitalists and angel investors have helped tens of thousands of startups get off the ground, but it's not always easy to stand up in front of a team of investors and tell them why they should give you their money. It requires a well-written business plan, solid financial projections and a whole lot of confidence. Crowdfunding is quickly becoming a go-to option for businesses that want to raise money without the pressure of formally pitching investors. Success stories of entrepreneurs who raised tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars in just a few short weeks seem to be a dime a dozen, but is everyone really jumping on board the crowdfunding train? According to a March 2015 survey by online small business community Manta, only 2 percent of the nearly 1,300 business owners polled said they have ever used a crowdfunding platform. This may be because many entrepreneurs are still uncertain about alternative financing options like crowdfunding: 30 percent of respondents said they are unsure of the risks, 20 percent don't understand the technology behind them, and 14 percent simply don't trust them. Small business owners have more diverse options today than ever before when it comes to funding their business but from this survey, there remains a gap between what's available and the perception among small businesses that the lending environment has not improved since the Great Recession. 3 68 Type of Business by percentage 4% 9 G, Construction ` ISS Health Hosp.&Leisr. ■Mfg ■Other r Prof&Bus Svcs Resturant 7ry�' Retail I Wholesale Arts/Entment Figure 1.
