DATE: JANUARY 16, 2007
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FOR AZUSA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FROM
A PROVISION OF THE AZUSA PACIFIC UNIVERSITY DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT REGARDING CHARGES TO USERS OF THE APU EVENT
CENTER OR PROPOSED PERFORMING ARTS FACILITY
RECOMMENDATION .
It is recommended that the City Council approve a request for exemption for Azusa
Unified School District (AUSD) from a provision of the Azusa Pacific University
Development Agreement regarding charges to users of the APU Event Center or
Proposed Performing Arts Facility.
BACKGROUND
In the 2005 Development Agreement between the City of Azusa and Azusa Pacific
University there is a provision that the University "charge and remit to City a charge of
fifty cents ($0.50) on each and every ticket sold for entry to the APU Event Center or
proposed Performing Arts Facility, provided, however, that such obligation to charge
and remit such ticket charges shall not apply to (1) Owner's regular season sporting
events, (2) events featuring APU faculty and/or students, including drama and musical
performances; (3) meals; (4) events held by non-profit charitable organizations which
use Owner's event facilities free of charge and donate all proceeds to a charitable
organization; and (4) events held by the City of Azusa."
Although the last category may have intended to include the Azusa Unified School
District as part of City of Azusa events, the Development Agreement was not explicit
in providing this exemption for the AUSD. Since it was never staff's intent to impose
any further financial impositions on the school district's activities, staff is �p
/`/
recommending that the school district be specifically exempt from this fifty-cent
charge on their activities conducted at Azusa Pacific University.
FISCAL IMPACT
It is anticipated that a negligible fiscal impact would be incurred as a result of this
exemption for the school district.
