COMMISSION:
The event will be part of the Seattle Sports Commission's Subway
Washington State Games. The event will have added promotion
value since the commission will publicize this event throughout
the slate of Washington.
MONEY: The funds from the city of Kent will be used to buy additional
baskets for the event which need to replace some of the original
baskets. A total of 20 basketball outdoor courts will be set up in the
ShoWare Center parking lot with all age divisions playing on
Saturday and Sunday. Other expenses include rent for the ShoWare
Center parking lot, staff shirts, staff food,and other miscellaneous
items which go into making up the event.
With the expected addition of teams we will need'to add staffing for
the event and that will add to the costs of the event as well. We also
are bringing in Kent Police for both days of the event which is
another added expense.
We will also be buying a special T-shirt for the competitors—which
will be in addition to the shirts the Subway Washington Games is
providing for all players.
Allied Waste is cutting back its sponsorship so more help is needed
to keep this event running as a first-class operation.
OTHER: The new hoops are the main new expense for the event. The
ShoWare Shootout also will be buying T shirts for the
players and outfits for the volunteers, insurance for the event,
a rental fee for the ShoWare Center to host the event. A sound
system will also be rented for the two days of the event. The new
hoops will help replace some of the other hoops that have bent rims
and bases which leak water.
i
PROPOSAL:
This is a request for $5,000 that will help cover the purchase of new
baskets for the event,new T-shirts for the players and volunteers as
well as money to help with added security and the expense of adding
staffing with the addition of more teams for the 2012 event.
CORNUCOPIA DAYS:
We are trying to work with the Kent Lions on setting up two courts
during Cornucopia Days to show off what 3 on 3 basketball will
look like on the downtown streets of Kent for one day during the
annual festival.
NOTES:
The event itself does not have much competition from other local
3 on 3 basketball events. One event at Snoquahnie Ridge
disbanded after last year's event.

From: Jeff Watling, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Date: May 16, 2012
Re: Funding Request for Portable Fencing at Athletic Complexes
BACKGROUND: The City of Kent hosts over 50 baseball, softball, and fastpitch tournament events
between mid-March and late-September each year. In order to accommodate the various field
distance requirements for these regional and national events, portable outfield fencing must be
installed. Due to the wide variety of ages and level of play, it is not unusual for this fencing to be
put up at 8-9 field locations on a Friday for one or more weekend tournaments and taken down or
re-located the following Monday in order to meet league play requirements.
With all this use, our current field fencing is beginning to break and is nearing the end of its useful
life. Most of the current fencing inventory has been repaired multiple times over the years. The
remaining inventory is insufficient to cover the requisite number of fields for large tournaments.
The product itself is bulky and unwieldy, necessitating multiple trips to transport it from one location
to the next. Putting the fencing up and down is also extremely wearing on the fencing material.
FUNDING REQUEST: In replacing this worn out fencing, we are seeking a safe, durable and more
portable fencing product that can be easily stored, installed and transported by one staff person.
Research shows that Enduro Event Fencing is the current industry standard. Along with providing
an updated look to the facilities, Park Operations staff estimates they can cut installation and
transport time in half with this product.
We are requesting $10,000 from Lodging Tax proceeds to assist with the purchase of this new
fencing. Estimates for the fencing and the initial installation of the ground sleeves is just over
$16,500. This investment in a new portable fencing system will help us to retain current
tournaments and remain competitive in attracting new tournaments to our well-respected athletic
complexes.
BENEFIT TO KENT ECONOMY: Portable fencing is a requisite in order for Kent to continue to be a
competitive host site for large regional and national events and in turn, for our community to realize
the economic benefits from these events.
As stated above, the City hosts over 50 baseball, softball, and fastpitch tournament events between
mid-March and late-September each year. Over 1,000 youth and adult teams with over 15,000
players and 40,000 spectators from nearly every state in the US and Canada will participate in a
tournament in Kent this summer. These visitors will fill hotels and restaurants, shop at retail stores
and service providers, and visit local points of interest. Tournament events hosted in the City of
Kent have a significant economic impact on the Kent community. This re-investment will help to
ensure that continues. Thank you for your consideration.

Scope of Services
March 15, 2012
I
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Community Attributes completed analyses and facilitated identification of strategic
themes for an update to the City of Kent economic development plan in late 2011.As
part of the economic development plan update process, CAI performed interviews with
business leaders in Kent and facilitated a business forum in collaboration with City
Economic Development Division staff. Through the interviews and the business forum,
the importance of ShoWate Center emerged as a critical asset for local economic
development. Business leaders citywide cited ShoWate's importance as an iconic
landmark and regional draw. However, City leadership and stakeholders alike feel that
ShoWate has even more potential for economic and fiscal benefits to the City. Survey
data are not currently captured on ancillary spending of ShoWate visitors,but many in
the business community feel that its economic impact is positive.As a'publically
managed and financed facility, the City is interested i11 long-term sustainability of the
facility and supporting its independence as an enterprise fund.
1
City economic development leaders desire a study that quantifies economic impacts
associated with its activities. The study will provide analytic foundation for City
strategies related to ShoWate. The following section includes a proposed scope of work
to provide this economic impact assessinent of the ShoWate Center for the City of Kent.
PROJECT APPROACH
The approach to this work leverages existing data from the ShoWate center, combined
with primary data collection in the form of ShoWate attendee surveys and business
interviews, along with impact modeling to tell a complete story of the economic impact
of ShoWate center.
Survey research will attain ancillary consumer spending data to describe visitor and
business activity related to ShoWate. The business survey will enhance perspectives on
activity before, during and after ShoWate events and impacts on a variety of business
types and locations. The business survey should include representatives from retail,
restaurateurs and other businesses types and local business associations.
The following section presents a detailed Work Program,with options. The tasks are
included as a menu of options, offering varying degrees of completeness to tell the
ShoWate story. Budget trade-offs are discuss in the subsequent section.

items which go into making up the event.
With the expected addition of teams we will need to add staffing for
the event and that will add to the costs of the event as well. We also
are bringing in Kent Police for both days of the event which is
another added expense.
We will also be buying a special T-shirt for the competitors —which
will be in addition to the shirts the Subway Washington Games is
providing for all players.
Allied Waste is cutting back its sponsorship so more help is needed
to keep this event running as a first-class operation.
OTHER: The new hoops are the main new expense for the event. The
ShoWare Shootout also will be buying T shirts for the
players and outfits for the volunteers, insurance for the event,
a rental fee for the ShoWare Center to host the event. A sound
system will also be rented for the two days of the event. The new
hoops will help replace some of the other hoops that have bent rims
and bases which leak water.
I
PROPOSAL:
This is a request for $5,000 that will help cover the purchase of new
baskets for the event, new T-shirts for the players and volunteers as
well as money to help with added security and the expense of adding
staffing with the addition of more teams for the 2012 event.
CORNUCOPIA DAYS:
We are trying to work with the Kent Lions on setting up two courts
during Cornucopia Days to show off what 3 on 3 basketball will
look like on the downtown streets of Kent for one day during the
annual festival.
NOTES:
The event itself does not have much competition from other local
3 on 3 basketball events. One event at Snoqualmie Ridge
disbanded after last year's event.
BANNERS: Will put up banners from the local hotels at the site throughout the
weekend. Will also put information on the gift bags for all the
players on all the local hotels and what they have to offer.

2011 ShoWare Shootout
Event Summary
• ShoWare Shootout Presented by Allied Waste, a 3 on 3 basketball festival, was
held July 30-31, 2011 at the ShoWare Center in Kent, Wash.
• There were a total of 18 basketball courts throughout the west side of the parking
lot. There was also a Kids Zone in front of the building as well as a medical area
and other vendors along the side of the building.
• A total of 160 teams and 600 players took part in the event.
• There were 20 divisions for men, women, kids, wheelchair, high schoolers and
elite teams. Teams were guaranteed at least three games through the weekend with
games on both Saturday and Sunday.
• Teams received T-Shirts, water bottles, snacks and other assorted gifts at check
in on Saturday at the ShoWare Center.
• There was a total of 52 volunteers who helped with everything from check in, to
scoreboards, to officiating, to court monitors to clean up. Volunteers all received a
T-Shirt,jacket and Ram VIP card for helping out through the weekend with the
event.
• Kent Youth and Family Services was the charity and received basketballs, shirts
and more for being involved with the first-ever event for 2010 at the ShoWare
Center.
• Event was also part of the Subway Washington Games, giving the event
additional exposure around the state and locally in the Puget Sound Area.
Event was publicized on the Washington Games website as well as our own
www.showareshootout.com website as well.
MEDIA:
• Web site showareshootout.com had hundreds of hits with many people signing
up for the event through the web site. Web site also posted the schedule of events
and the results when the event was completed.
• Kent Reporter ran ads leading up to the event as well as a couple of stories
before and after the event.
• Seattle Times ran one story about the event.
• KJR Radio promoted with the event on air with the giveaway of teams into the
tournament.
• Click 98 radio also had advertisements on air and on its web site and also gave
away a pair of teams into the event.
• Social media—we have a Facebook page for the event and will be giving away
free entries to people who look up the event on Facebook and like the event.
FOR 2012:
• We are looking for 200 teams and 20 courts next year at the ShoWare Center.
The City of Kent, the ShoWare Center and the sponsors, as well as the teams, were
happy with the event and looking forward to what the event might hold down the
road.
• The Seattle Sports Commission will keep the event as part of its Subway
Washington State Games. This will be significant for the event in terms of
additional publicity and reaching people across the state.
• We will be buying new hoops to replace some of the ones that are already worn
out. And with new hoops and more teams we will be adding more staff and
officials which will take the expenses up. We also want to buy separate
event T-shirts for all competitors, another new expense. And staffing and
officials will all need new gear as well.
t
BENEFITS FOR EVENT:
The monies form the Lodging tax committee have been put to great use in terms of
keeping the event growing. And with growth comes more expenses in terms of
addition equipment, staffing, etc. The monies also go to help pay for the rent for
the ShoWare Center, insurance, and more.
BENEFITS FOR COMMUNITY:
With growth from the event we hope to start putting more heads in beds in the
local hotels. Like the Spokane Hoopfest, that will come with time. The more we
keep growing the event, the more need for rooms will be. The city of Kent also
receives benefits from its name being attached to the biggest 3 on 3 event in the
Puget Sound area. The charity Kent Youth and Family Services also benefits form
the donation of equipment, the chance for kids to work the event and for a
monetary donation at the end of the event.
Seattle Southside TPA Update:
As you may recall, hoteliers in Southwest King County are preparing to initiate the
formation of a Tourism Promotion Area ("TPA") by petitioning the legislative bodies of
the Seattle Southside municipalities pursuant to legislation passed in 2009. This
legislation requires at least 2 participating municipalities in King County to partner under
an inter-local agreement to create a TPA.
The TPA surcharge is not a tax, but a self-imposed special assessment by hoteliers
that would be dedicated to funding tourism promotion within the defined TPA area.
Depending on the rate of the assessment the hoteliers petition for, the proposed TPA is
projected to provide approximately $2.5 million of additional revenue for tourism
promotion each year. The amount of revenue raised depends on the classifications
used, occupancy rates at lodging businesses and any other exceptions the hoteliers
recommend in the petition.
Last year potential TPA ratepayers formed a Seattle Southside TPA Steering
Committee. Hoteliers are highly supportive of forming a TPA and anxious to begin the
process. However, they clearly prefer that the TPA be managed and implemented
through a public development authority (PDA) such as 4-Culture (a public corporation).
Because this new organizational structure provides ratepayers with autonomy and
oversight of these new self-imposed revenues and if combined with the Lodging Tax
dollars currently funding SSVS, the new program budget could be as much as $3.5M.
Although the cities have not yet taken a formal position on the ratepayer's proposal,
Council study sessions are scheduled in the coming weeks. So you may begin hearing
more about the Seattle Southside Tourism Development Authority and the TPA.
This opportunity can be realized -- if the cities and the potential ratepayers settle on
formation and oversight. So there is much work yet to be accomplished but this could be
an enormous opportunity for our region.
At this time TPA petitions have not been executed by hoteliers because they desire
to review the working drafts of the (1) New Regional Tourism Promotion Inter-local
Agreement; (2) SSTDA Charter and Bylaws; (3) model ordinance to be adopted by
participating cities prior to executing the TPA initiating petitions. They simply want to
know that the Councils are generally in support of this opportunity as proposed by
potential TPA ratepayers.
So on the following dates:
May 171h the City of Des Moines - City Council voted unanimously to "Direct" the City
Manager and staff to work with the other participating cities and SSVS staff in the
creation of a Seattle Southside Tourism Development Authority.
�v
Tuesday, June 5 at 5:00pm the City of Tukwila Finance and Safety Council Committee
is scheduled to hear an informational overview of TPAs and the proposed SSTDA.
Tuesday, June 121h at 4:00pm the City of SeaTac - City Council will conduct a
Council Study Session about TPAs and request that the Council give direction to the
City Manager and staff to work with the other participating cities and SSVS staff to begin
the formation and implementation of the SSTDA. SeaTac will likely be the sponsoring
municipality of this new proposed public corporation.
Tuesday, June 26th at 6:00pm the SeaTac City Council will formally take action on the
Letter of Engagement with Pacifica Law Group for the formation of the SSTDA.
SSVS and City staff may then begin working with PLG on drafting these initial
documents which will require yet again subsequent Council approval.
So I'm anticipating the formation of the SSTDA and creation of a TPA will take the
next 6 months or so to complete.
Please know that it has been a real honor and pleasure to work with and promote the
City of Kent these past 7 years, since 2005.
We watched the City of Kent grow and mature into the sixth largest city in
Washington.
Although there may well be a role for Kent's participation in what could be a $3.5M
regional tourism promotion program, ilt is our current understanding based on my
recent conversations with Ben Wolters, our reading of the Kent LTAC Retreat meeting
minutes and conversations with at least 1 key Kent hotel GM, that the City of Kent will
likely not be participating in the SSTDA or TPA, is that premise accurate?
Because we recently updated the website, vacation planner, tourist map, and
meeting planners guide and given the language in the ILA, may I suggest we see
what happens in the coming weeks regarding the SSTDA and TPA before we look at
the Kent ILA for Tourism promotion through SSVS.
