This meaningful project provides an opportunity to celebrate an historic, national feat; one that is so closely connected to the City's local history, present and future. To raise the funds necessary to create an inspiring, educational and historically significant public space, a capital campaign consultant (Consultant) is needed to develop a campaign to achieve the fundraising goal (Campaign). As a tax exempt 501c3 non-profit, the KDP can receive tax deductible donations to help fund the Campaign (Campaign Donations), including access to critically important corporate matching dollars, helping the Campaign reach its financial goal. To expedite commencement of the Campaign, and execution of a contract between the KDP and Campaign Consultant, the City wishes to provide assurance to the KDP it will not be forced to cover the Consultant's costs in the unlikely event the fundraising effort fails to cover the consultant's fees. TERMS: The Consultant's services will be used to raise Campaign Donations that will be used for the City's redevelopment project at Kherson Park, including the placement of an interactive Lunar Rover replica at the park. The KDP will contract with the Consultant selected by the City. The Consultant's services will be conducted pursuant to the terms of the contract with the KDP, as approved by the City, and will be paid by the KDP with Campaign Donations to the KDP. Staff from the City will manage the Consultant and serve as liaison between the Consultant and the KDP. In recognition of the KDP's facilitation of the Campaign benefitting the City's project, if the Consultant is unable to raise sufficient Campaign Donations to cover the total cost of Consultant's services for the Campaign, the City will cover the cost of such services. d 3 Y C N Y 0 Mayor Dana Ralph City of Kent Economic &Community Development Accepted and agreed to: 'Ou)-�'Qo Barb Ailth, x utive D ctor, Kent Do n Partnership Date J Mi leton, President, Kent Downtown Partnership Da e aIC( i Dana Ralph, Mayor, City f Kent Date
