I. Call to Order. The meeting was called to order by Chair Mike Miller at
4:00 p.m.
a. Motion to approve the special meeting minutes of January 9,
2015 and the regular meeting minutes of January 29, 2015. Lew Sellers
moved to approve the minutes of January 9, 2015 and January 29,
2015, seconded by Randall Smith. Motion carried 5-0.
II. Financial Reports.
a. City of Kent. Aaron BeMiller, Finance Director discussed the
March 31, 2015 ShoWare Center Operating Fund. He communicated that
there aren't any admissions tax receipts because they are due on April 30.
He noted that the City's fund is beginning with a positive balance and
stated that there wasn't much activity with the Kent Event Center Fund.
He noted that the sales tax figures have a two month lag and the amount
received in January is shown in March, which was about $8, 000 more
than January 2014.
BeMiller discussed the conversation with the State Auditor's Office
concerning the finding. He noted that the contingent loan will not be
repaid. He noted that the City staff went back and came up with new
language and it is being called a subsidy. Additionally, there are some
other items that are in the agreement that need to be addressed. He
noted that the City needs to determine how to handle the receivables
because the City is receiving 18.7 million as a receivable and the ShoWare
shows it as a deliverable. He noted that there would need to be a formal
forgiveness. He added that the Public Facility District (PFD) bonds are
refundable in 2018 and it is unlikely they would be refunded through the
Public Facilities District Board Minutes April 30, 2015
PFD, but through the City. This would flip the agreement because the debt
service would be a part of the City and the PFD would be paying the City.
He noted that the only issue is ensuring that the sales tax credit is still
able to be received if this occurs. He said it is being worked on now and a
workshop will occur in mid-June to discuss this.
Miller confirmed that the agreement may be brought before the PFD Board
in July.
BeMiller confirmed that the sales tax bonds aren't refundable. He noted
that the $53 million would need to be financed. BeMiller noted that the
bonds were scheduled to be retired in 2018 and confirmed that the sales
tax credit would still be received.
b. ShoWare Center. Arletta Voter, ShoWare Director of Finance
communicated the direct event income revenue. She added that the
repairs and maintenance shows a maintenance category that was paid in
the first quarter, but it all was addressed at the beginning of the year so it
will be under budget at the end of the year. She noted that the utilities
increase is because of the playoffs.
Miller highlighted the contract that was paid in the beginning of the year
and said he is used to showing it monthly.
Higgins verified that "Frozen" is November 11 - 16 and they may add
another date. He noted that over 33,000 tickets have been sold to the
event.
Sellers moved to adopt the 1st Quarter ShoWare Center Income
Statement, seconded by Smith. motion carried 5-0.
III. Operations Update.
a. General Manager/Marketing Update. Ryan Hart, ShoWare
Director of Marketing - Hart noted that attendance since the ShoWare was
opened is 2.3 million with 130,622 attending events this year. He noted
that they are 4,000 ahead of the 2014 pace. He added that Theresa
Caputo will be completely sold out before June and they have added the
capacity for 5,000 more people. He noted that Rock and Worship Road
Show was sold out on March 12 and they have booked for next year. He
announced that the Scorpions with Queensryche will be at the ShoWare in
October and it is 75 - 80 percent sold out from being announced last
weekend. He discussed the Washington FIRST Robotics Championships
and said it was a huge success. He noted that they are working on 2016
dates. "Frozen", due to popular demand, added another date on
November 13 and will be here from November 11 - 16.

their graduation ceremony at the ShoWare.

the dates of the 10 game Stars season. He also verified that midweek
sales of adult hockey are going well at the facility.
Sellers added that there has been tremendous growth in both the adult
and kids organizations.
b. Seattle Thunderbirds Update. Vice President Colin Campbell
communicated that the hockey legislation is awaiting execution and stated
that it is good legislation.
He discussed the hockey season and stated that attendance went well this
year and it was good to have a longer season. He noted that they had the
third youngest team in the league and they should be a real good group
next year. He noted that they are getting ready for the Bantam Draft and
NHL Draft. Work on schedules begins next week and they are about 3/4 of
the way through it, he said. He noted that during the second half of the
season either Portland or Everett will be in the ShoWare. Overall, he
stated that the schedule is shaping up nice. He communicated that
contracts are going well and Muckleshoot, Les Schwab have resigned, but
Valley Medical is looking to back off everything except "Pink the Rink"
night. The hockey school is in August and training camp is late August.
The exhibition is September 17 against Victoria and the first home game
is on October 3. Campbell noted that there will only be 15 or 16 games in
the beginning of the season and it will pick up the second half of the
season.

attendance numbers.
Campbell noted that the big challenge is what to do with three Wednesday
night games.

the year. Campbell also noted that naming rights for the upper lounge is

Board Members present: Chair Mike Miller, Lew Sellers, and Randall Smith
Others present: Finance Director (Board Treasurer) Aaron BeMiller, City Clerk (Board
Secretary) Ronald F. Moore, ShoWare General Manager Tim Higgins, ShoWare Director of
Finance Arletta Voter, Councilmember Brenda Fincher, Senior Accountant,Daniel Leahy, and
Accounting & Reporting Manager Lavina Brennecke, City Auditor Robert Goehring, and
Reporter Steve Hunter from the Kent Reporter
State Auditor's Office staff: Deputy Director Sadie Arm,ijo ,Audit Supervisor Haji Adams, Audit
Lead Iryna Khleborod, and Audit Manager Renee Meyer
I. Call to Order. The meeting was called to order by Chair Mike Miller at.1.1:01 a.m. and
all attendees introduced themselves.
II. 2014 State Auditor's Office Audit (SAO) - Audit Supervisor Haji Adams stated that
this is the exit conference and the Auditor's Office will review the results of the audit. He
highlighted the agenda and stated they,will discuss the financial statement audit report,
recommendations not included in the audit report, the report publication, the next scheduled
audit, and the customer service survey. He noted that this audit, pertains to the 2013
financials of the Kent Special Events Public Facilities District (PFD). He stated that in relation
to the report there were no uncorrected misstatements in the audited financial statements.
However, there were material misstatements.in the financial statements which were
corrected by management during the audit. He stated that there is a deficiency in internal
control over financial reporting and no instances of noncompliance that could have a direct
and material effect on flee financial statements. Adams stated that this deficiency is a finding
and stated that the SAO reviewed;payments the Ristrict received from the City to meet its
debt service-payments on the,bonds. The District recorded these payments as
intergovernmental,revenues. However, the agreement between the District and the City
states,the payments are required\to be recorded as a loan to the PFD. Therefore, he said, the
District did not follow the-terms and conditions of the contingent loan agreement between the
PFD andthe City of Kent regarding financing for the PFD. He explained that Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require loan proceeds be reported as a liability and
although District management was aware of the reporting requirements, it chose not to follow
GAAP. He stated that the SAO recommends the District pursue additional technical guidance
when unsure of accounting treatment for its financial transactions and that the parties work
together to amend the agreement to reflect the current status of the repayments.
Public Facilities District Chair Mike Miller inquired what the SAO wants to see next year and
Meyer responded that the expectation of the SAO is that the financial statements reflect what
is going on. Miller continued and stated that he would prefer this not being an asset on the
City's books. He noted that given the ShoWare financials this shouldn't be a note receivable
for the City. He communicated that there is support to revise this on the Board and hopes the
City Council agrees.
Adams noted that there were not any exit recommendations noted in the report and they
were provided to and corrected by management. He stated that the report will be published
Public Facilities District Board Minutes January 29, 2015
of December 2014 was approximately $3.8 million which left an ending
PFD Fund amount of just about $120,000 at the end of 2014.
b. ShoWare Center. Arletta Voter, ShoWare Center Director of
Finance discussed the 4th quarter and year-to-date calculations. She
stated that the ShoWare ended the year with a $752,324 loss which
includes unanticipated capital expenses (ice issues) of $182,373. She
stated that the 4th quarter was more successful than 4th quarter 2013. She
handed out and highlighted the 2015 budget and proposed income
statement for 2015.
Miller announced that the admissions tax is given directly to the City and
the revenue for 2014 was $264,000. Higgins further explained that the
admissions tax is 5 percent of all ticket sales at the-ShoWare Center.
Miller communicated that there was a $28,000 Ioss for October, almost a
$50,000 profit for November, and a $4,800.ioss,for Decein.ber 2014.
Therefore, for the last quarter in 2014 the`ShoWare showed a profit of
$24,781 for operations. Higgins noted that there were more;tha,n 60
events held at the ShoWare during the 4th.quarter of 2014.
Higgins discussed the utilities and said the costs are similar, but Comcast
is new and costs $25,000. Wolters.confirmed`that they are looking into
having another competitor provide cable services for the facility at a
better rate.
Miller highlighted repair and maintenance expenditures. He stated that the
facility was a little'over budget in October, slightly under in November,
and significantly`"under in December. He stated that this resulted in the
facility being unde"-.,budgetIor-the quarter.
Wolters.communicated`that the City is continuing to move forward with
the issues on the compressor system and moving forward to having
potential.litigation.-Also, he stated that there have been some lessons
learned°on"the system and one once the maintenance contractor has
looked at the°entire system there will be more to learn. He added that one
of the hot water heaters has been replaced at a cost of $56,000.
Piecewicz confirmed that the piping will be redone at the end of the
season and adjustments will be made to it.
BeMiller explained that since the compressor was capitalized in the
beginning and it is being replaced it is considered maintenance. However,
if it was ten years from now it would have been replaced.
BeMiller highlighted the State Auditor's Office exit conference and stated
that the City is continuing to work on changing the contingent loan
agreement and are working with bond counsel. He noted that the revised
language will be brought to the Council.
Miller noted that if the language is adopted by the Council it would be
brought to the Board in April.

Public Facilities District Board Minutes January 29, 2015
Piecewicz inquired about the language in the contract concerning profits
from the ShoWare and Wolters responded that if there is a net profit then
those funds reside within the working account under the City of Kent for
the ShoWare Center for other expenses. He added that the City can draw
upon that account for the General Fund. However, any excess funds would
most likely be used for capital replacement or debt service. He added that
any renovation would be handled under a public works item and anything
over $50,000 would have to go through a public works contracting
process. Additionally, anything over $25,000 would need to be approved
by the Council.
Higgins communicated that the projected loss for the ShoWare Center
2015 budget is $463,675. He noted that this budget is-`based on what the
facility has historically done in the past. Continuing; he-discussed Disney
on Ice "Frozen" and communicated that the ten shows in November are
almost sold out. He also noted that there are more confirmed ticketed
events to be held at the facility this year than any other year.
Wolters noted that the budget is approved through the contract with SMG
and the City. He stated that the admissions tax,and the sales tax on
goods and services purchased by patrons, the ShoWare Center, and the
Thunderbirds adds up to about $500,000 that the City receives per year.
He added that the goal is for those funds to go,to debt service or
replacement.
