RESOLUTION NO. 2017-0414
Adopted by the Sacramento City Council
October 31, 2017
Granting A Waiver of Section 4.2 of the Comprehensive
Project Agreement for the Exclusive Purpose of Allowing the
Relocation of Convention Center Events to Sleep Train Arena
BACKGROUND
A. On May 20, 2014, Council approved the Comprehensive Project Agreement (CPA)
with Sacramento Basketball Holdings LLC, Sacramento Downtown Arena LLC,
and Sacramento Kings Limited Partnership.
B. Section 4.2 of the CPA sets out a non-compete prohibition for Sleep Train Arena,
which was designed, in part, to ensure that the Golden 1 Center remain
economically viable for both the City and the Kings.
C. On May 30, 2017, in Resolution 2017-0216, the City Council directed staff to move
forward with a plan for the renovation and expansion of the Convention Center.
D. This construction work on the Convention Center will result in some events
needing to be relocated.
E. Visit Sacramento has been working to identify alternate locations, including Sleep
Train Arena and the Golden 1 Center, to house those events that will need
relocation.
F. Retention of Convention Center events in Sacramento is a priority for the City
during the renovation and expansion of the Convention Center, in part, so that the
City and region can retain the economic benefits of those events, including
associated transient occupancy tax and sales tax.
G. Due to scheduling conflicts, events cannot be relocated to the Golden 1 Center,
and the relocation of these events to Sleep Train Arena will not affect the
economic viability of the Golden 1 Center for either the City or the Sacramento
Kings.

BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL

SUPPORT OF
KEEPING THE SACRAMENTO KINGS IN THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO AND
THE PURSUIT OF A NEW SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT FACILITY IN
DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO
BACKGROUND
A. The Sacramento Kings are one of the most well-known employers in
Sacramento, with a strong brand that provides national and international
recognition for the region.
B. The Sacramento Kings employ approximately 800 individuals in the
Sacramento area and generate significant economic and fiscal benefits to the
adjacent community, the City and the region.
C. The Sacramento Kings are a major component of the region's entertainment
industry and the region’s only major league sports team.
D. For over 27 years the Sacramento region has proven itself as a strong market
for the National Basketball Association (NBA).
E. The Sacramento community has demonstrated long-standing support and
willingness to invest in the Kings success in Sacramento. The investment has
included the issuance of $73,725,000 of bonds to assist the team in 1997.
F. The City and County governments have pursued initiatives in good faith to
build a new arena for the team and the region. In 2012 the City, in partnership
with the NBA, worked cooperatively to develop a comprehensive plan for the
development of a new sports and entertainment facility in the downtown.
G. The NBA has announced that the Sacramento Kings majority owners have
submitted an application to relocate the team to Seattle, Washington and sell
their interests to a new majority ownership group.
H. A separate investment group has indicated its interest in submitting a
competitive offer to acquire the majority interest in the Kings and enter into a
public-private partnership to finance and develop a new sports and entertainment
complex in downtown Sacramento. The investment group would make a long-
term commitment to keep the Kings in Sacramento.

the Sacramento Kings in the City of Sacramento.

entertainment facility for the region that meets NBA standards and
represents a sound fiscal and economic development investment
for the Citys and repres.

the City's efforts to keep the Kings in Sacramento long-term and
approve the sale of the Kings to an ownership group that commits
to keeping the Kings in Sacramento long-term.

FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF:
June 13, 1995 (afternoon)
SUMMARY
This report recommends that the City Council approve the new three-year contract
between the City of Sacramento and Kings ARCO Arena Limited Partnership for the
period April 1, 1995 to June 30, 1998 for employment of off-duty Police Officers at
ARCO Arena. The new contract incorporates new hourly rates for off-duty Police
Officers agreed to with the Sacramento Police Officers Association (SPOA). Additionally,
the new contract provides for a phased-in reimbursement method to the City so that the
hourly rate at Kings games will be increased annually until such time as it equates to the
hourly rate paid at all other ARCO events.
COMMITTEE/COMMISSION ACTION:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City and SPOA in October, 1994 reached agreement on off-duty employment rates
to be effective November 1, 1994.
In the past, the City has entered into one-year contracts with ARCO Arena for off-duty
employment of Police Officers to assure adequate security staffing to ARCO and to
provide reimbursement to the City for wage rates, and indirect costs related to off-duty
Police Officers. All other off-duty contracts with citizens, businesses, and other
governmental agencies are normally short-term covering a single event and date.
The proposed contract with ARCO incorporates the new off-duty rates negotiated with
SPOA and provides for a three-year term in order to permit a phase-in of indirect costs
by annual increases to the hourly rate of Kings games until this rate equals the hourly rate
paid at other ARCO events.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Under the proposed contract, the City will be initially reimbursed for the actual off-duty
rates paid to Police Officers at Kings games and reimbursement for both off-duty rates
and indirect costs for other ARCO events. The indirect cost for Kings games will be
phased-in at 7% annually until such time as this rate equals the off-duty rate at other
ARCO events.
2
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS:
Approval of the attached contract by the Sacramento City Council will implement the
City's agreement with the SPOA and will continue the practice of employment of off-duty
Police Officers for security at ARCO Arena.

Not applicable.

RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO
NEGOTIATE THE TERMS OF A PUBLIC-PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT TO CONSTRUCT AND
OPERATE A NEW ARENA EITHER NEXT TO ARCO ARENA
IN NORTH NATOMAS OR IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO
WHEREAS, according to a City-authorized study, confirmed by the Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce, Arco Arena, which was constructed in 1988, will be at the end
of its useful life within five years and any new facility will take approximately five years
to construct; and
WHEREAS, the cost of remodeling Arco Arena to meet today's codes and design
standards could exceed the cost of demolishing the old arena and building a new one
next to it, and it would be difficult to stage basketball games and other events during
remodeling; and
WHEREAS, the City currently owns 100 acres and the Sacramento Kings NBA
Basketball Team owners (Kings) own 85 acres at the site, including the existing arena,
and reciprocal ownership rights prevent either party from developing its own portion of
the 185-acre site ("185-Acre Site") without the consent of the other party; and
WHEREAS, 185-acre Arco Arena site could be jointly developed by the City and
the Kings to:
a. Demolish the current arena; build a new, more compact arena
closer to the planned light rail station at the site; and develop the
remaining site with a mix of -office and housing uses, and retail and
entertainment ancillary to such uses that would share parking with
the arena, and generate revenue to help pay the cost of the new
arena; or

b. Be developed with a mix of -office and housing uses, and retail and
entertainment ancillary to such uses that would generate revenue
to help pay the cost of the new arena;
WHEREAS, the experience of many cities is that locating arenas in urban core
areas supports existing businesses, attracts new businesses, increases hotel and
convention bookings, promotes use of transit infrastructure, and promotes residential
development;
WHEREAS, it may be of greater community benefit to locate an arena in
downtown Sacramento; however, it may not be financially feasible;
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously adopted a policy regarding public
financing of a new arena, the most important elements of which are: the financing must
not adversely affect the City's General Fund, which pays for City police, fire, library,
streets, parks, recreation, code enforcement, and other essential municipal services;
public funding should focus on public infrastructure; there should be no new taxes
without a vote; and the financing must not adversely affect the payoff of the existing $83
million loan to the Kings; and
WHEREAS, it would be consistent with the City's policy to pay for the cost of
constructing a new multipurpose arena with private sources, as well as user fees,
surcharges, assessments, and other revenues generated exclusively at the 185-acre
Arco Arena site; and to require repayment by the private sector of the existing loan for
the Arco Arena.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO that:
The City Manager shall negotiate with the Kings and other stakeholders the
terms and conditions of a partnership agreement to construct a new arena, provided
that:
1. Private financial support would be, at a minimum, at a level consistent with the
private financial support provided in similar situations in other municipalities, and
would likely include lease payments to the city for a period not less than the
period necessary to pay the total cost of the arena, and could include revenues

from naming rights, parking charges, surcharges on ticket and concession sales,
media revenues and other identifiable sources of income.
2.. -
Public funding measures would involve no taxes unless such taxes are
approved by voters.
3. The City may also seek regional financial support from those cities and
counties that would benefit from a multi-purpose arena, and to that end, invite
Sacramento County representatives to the negotiations.
4. In addition to the private and public funding measures outlined above, the City
would consider partnering with the private sector to jointly develop the 185-acre
Arco Arena site, or portion thereof, and use the taxes and revenues generated
from the joint development to help fund the new arena. The development may
not involve a shopping center that would compete with Downtown Plaza.
5. The following guidelines shall govern the City Manager's negotiations: These
guidelines are intended to be flexible and allow for negotiations to occur with
stakeholders regarding alternative sites, project costs, and funding sources and
amounts.
a. The total cost of the arena shall not exceed $350,000,000, unless the
non-City contributions are available to cover costs above $350,000,000.
b. The City -shall commit funds generated by the sale and reuse of the
185-Acre Site to the project, not to exceed $50,000,000 without further direction
from City Council.
c. Total city investment is capped at $175 million. City's negotiating team
shall maximize public benefits, maximize private investment and provide as much
protection of the city's investment as possible.
d. The ballot measure must specify maximum amounts and specify the
City's contribution.
e. The existing City loan to the Kings shall be repaid from private sources.

City of Sacramento
Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: In 2016, the City partnered with Parkeon USA to develop an online parking
application (“SacPark”) that allows users to locate and reserve parking spaces for special
events. Future features will include a mobile app that will provide direct GPS guidance to
available parking spaces and allow the City to provide real-time push notifications to alert
motorists of travel conditions. Additional features may be added as needed.
Sacramento Downtown Arena, LLC (“Kings”) operates several parking garages near the
Golden 1 Center. An estimated 6,500 vehicles enter the downtown area during large events.
The City would like to market and sell parking spaces to Golden 1 Center attendees by using
the SacPark reservation platform. In addition to the City’s website, customers will be able to
access SacPark registered parking garages via the Kings’ website, the Kings’ mobile app, or
Ticketmaster (collectively “Kings Ticketing Service”).
Under the proposed agreement, the City will make available up to 1,000 parking spaces in
City-owned parking garages to Sacramento Kings preferred ticket holders. These parking
spaces will be available after 6:00 p.m. when garages have low occupancy and sold at market
rates. These parking spaces will be allocated as follows:
? City Hall Garage – 400 parking spaces
? Capitol Garage – 400 parking spaces
? Old Sacramento Garage – 200 parking spaces
The Kings will partner with the City to market SacPark reservation platform for events at the
Golden 1 Center by using social media, the Kings website or mobile application.
Policy Considerations: This recommended action is consistent with:
1. City Council’s motion directing staff to pursue parking modernization through
technology and rate enhancements.
2. 2014 City of Sacramento Selected Parking Assets, Parking System
Assessment.
3. The Central City Parking Master plan goal to leverage technology to use time
limits, rates and enforcement to manage parking supply efficiently.
Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations: The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines sections 15301. The project involves the development and marketing of a
Page 2 of 12
File ID: 2017-00935 ConsentItem 20

City of Sacramento
mobile parking guidance application that would facilitate use of existing downtown parking
facilities by patrons of events at downtown facilities. The action would result in no new
construction or expansion of use, and would promote the efficient operation of existing public
facilities.
Sustainability: This action supports the City of Sacramento’s sustainability goals to improve
and optimize the transportation infrastructure.
Commission/Committee Action: None
Rationale for Recommendation: It is estimated that up to 6,500 vehicles enter the
downtown area during large events at the Golden 1 Center. To guide motorists to
available parking, the City developed the SacPark reservation platform to maximize traffic
flow near the event epicenter. The proposed agreement increases customer access and
marketing to available parking information, by linking SacPark through the Kings Ticketing
Service. In October of 2016, the City signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Kings to pilot
the SacPark reservation platform with the Kings and other private garage owners. To
date, over 225,000 parking reservations have been processed using SacPark therefore
significantly reducing wait times and traffic congestion in the downtown area. Per the LOI,
the proposed agreement will commence October 1, 2016, the date the pilot started.
Under this contract the City will be the exclusive external parking vendor approved or permitted
to sell parking reservations using the Kings Ticketing Service.
Financial Considerations: The City receives five percent commission of all paid parking
transactions processed using the SacPark reservation platform, except for those reservations
made for parking garages controlled by the City or the Kings. For those paid parking
transactions marketed using the Kings Ticketing Service, the City and the Kings will each
receive two and a half percent commission.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): There are no LBE considerations associated with the
requested action.

matter, and (3) establishes a work plan that requires staff to report back to the Council on
September 21 and by October 26 regarding analysis of sites, establishing a preferred site,
and regarding a financing strategy and plan.
This report presents and analyzes the resolution proposed by Councilmember Cohn on
July 22 and recommends certain modification, identifies tasks to be completed by
September 21, and outlines the work plan and milestones between September 21 and
October 26, the date that language must be approved for the March 8, 2005 ballot.
BACKGROUND:
On July 22, a draft resolution was presented by Council Member Cohn regarding (1)
negotiating parameters for a new Sacramento Sports Arena, (2) establishing the Council's
intent to call a Special Election for March 8, 2005 to seek pubic advice on the arena
matter, and (3) directing staff to report back to the Council on September 21 with a site
specific analysis and financing plan. Please see Exhibit A. Section 6 of the resolution
established financial parameters for both the overall project cost and the relative share of
costs to be borne by the public and private sectors. The resolution also required that staff
report back to Council on September 21 with a definitive site selection and financing plan.
The suggested financial parameters included in the resolution are described and analyzed
below. Further, a work plan leading to the September 21 report to the Council, and the
required actions thereafter, are also described.
Funding Cap and Public Contribution
Section 6.a. of the resolution states that the total cost of the arena shall not exceed $350
million. The suggested number is based upon the cost of an arena at the North Natomas
location, excluding the costs associated with a public plaza, structured parking, and site
resurfacing as presented in the July 22 staff report. Please see Natomas Financing
Proposal, Exhibit B. The total arena cost under this scenario is $315 million. The
resolution allows for an approximate 10% premium above the Natomas cost if a downtown
location can be identified, thereby establishing the cap at $350 million.
The revenue analysis on Exhibit A also describes the potential funding sources that have
been identified to date. Unless additional and/or alternate funding sources can be
identified, the maximum public resources available for contribution, under this scenario,
would be $180 million, assuming voter approval of TOT and rental car tax increases. This
amount is slightly more than half the suggested cap amount of $350 million. If one
assumes that the only potential sources of public funds are those described in Exhibit A,
the suggested negotiating parameters - a cap of $350 million, and public contribution of up
to half of total costs - is reasonable given the total public financial capacity, as highlighted
in the summary below.

Car rental surcharge $12.9 $32.4
TOT Tax $30.8 $77
Total Public Capacity $85.3 $179.6
If, however, other funding sources become available due to the potential for regional
contribution, additional public or private partners, or because the proposed location of the
facility provides other funding opportunities, the cap and proportionate share of funding
responsibility may not need to be as restrictive. For example, the July 22 staff report
showed that other public revenues - such as parking or food and beverage surcharges -
might be viable in the downtown area, where a nexus can be drawn between increased
business and the location of the sports arena.
The staff recommends that the negotiating parameters set forth in the resolution apply
unless additional sources of funding can be identified that help bridge the project feasibility
gap. The staff further recommends that, in order to preserve the opportunity for
meaningful CEQA review of alternatives, and for ample opportunity for input, the Council
request staff to report on all sites considered, and select a preferred site or sites for further
analysis. The resolution, as revised, provides for additional flexibility in these matters.
Proiect Work Plan and Milestones through October 26
The proposed resolution (Exhibit A) requires a progress report to Council on September
21. The City Clerk has determined that October 26 is the final date that the Council should
place review of ballot language on the agenda for first consideration. Final Council
approval of language would occur November 4, and the City Clerk would call the election
on November 9.
The staff proposes the following work be accomplished during this timeframe:
Work Plan to September 21
1. Analyze the viability of various public funding alternatives. This would include review of
the potential for success of various funding measures that require a public vote, including,
but not limited to, County- or region-wide transient occupancy tax (TOT) and rental car tax

increases; local or regional parcel tax; business improvement district(s); and food and
beverage surcharges. Recommend to Council a strategy for pursuing arena funding.
2. Complete an alternative sites analysis and cost analysis, including comparison of the
economic revitalization benefits of alternative locations and the funding opportunities
associated with alternative sites. Recommend to Council preferred sites for further pursuit.
3.
Negotiate and recommend to Council the broad terms of a public-private partnership
between the City and MSE for a new Sacramento Sports Arena.
Work Plan to October 26
1. Complete an arena financing plan based upon further of analysis of revenue streams,
bonding capability and private contributions.
2. Refine cost estimates, site evaluation, and economic benefits analysis of preferred
site(s). Recommend final site and alternatives, as provided for under CEQA; secure
property commitments.
3. Negotiate refined business terms between City and Maloof Sports Entertainment (MSE).
4. Recommend ballot language.
The revised resolution reflects the work plan outlined above. Exhibit C compares the
original resolution proposed by Council Member Cohn on July 22 with the resolution now
presented by staff for Council consideration. Only the recommended modifications are
shown in the Exhibit.
The work of the staff will be premised on the following assumptions:
1. Retaining the Kings NBA team in Sacramento is of community benefit for the City
and is worth a certain amount of City investment. The value of the Kings' presence in
Sacramento has yet to be defined, but the City's contribution can in no case be greater
than the City's ability to contribute in a fiscally responsible manner.
2. If the City is to invest in a new sports arena, it should strive to locate the facility such
that the City can derive maximum benefit from the spending power of the population that
attends facility events.
3. If the City is to invest in a new sports arena, it should locate the facility such that it
has positive revitalizing effects on areas in proximity to it.
Sites Analysis
A number of potential arena sites have been identified. Those discussed to date in
addition to the 7th and K site include the waterfront property along Front Street north of 1-5
4
Sacramento City Council
Report Back Regarding Sacramento Sports Arena
August 5, 2005
and south of R Street; and a vacant block at 3rd and R Streets. Staff believes that
additional opportunity sites may arise during the next several weeks.
The proposed location of the arena at 7th and K would have had a dramatic and positive
affect on the blight, vacancy, crime incidence and property abandonment that is ^ervasive
in the general vicinity and is of specific concern at the corners of 7th and L and 7' and K
Streets. The location of the arena at 7th and K, with its approximately two million annual
visitors, would have provided an enhanced market for many existing businesses and would
have encouraged new complementary investment. At this point, however, the staff
believes that the costs associated with the 7th and K site, as estimated by staff and as
perceived by Westfield, make it infeasible. Westfield has expressed that it would prefer to
pursue the 7th and K theater project and other Downtown Plaza renovation opportunities
rather than further analyze the arena potential at that location. If the arena proposal is at
the 7th and K location is no longer pursued, the staff believes that alternative
redevelopment endeavors to eliminate existing blight and bring new investment into the
vicinity should be pursued as soon as possible.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The staff will require considerable professional assistance to complete the work anticipated
over the next three months. The staff expects to engage a sports facility development
consultant; an architect and land-use planner; a civil engineer; a transportation consultant;
a marketing and public information advisor; a real estate economist; and others, as
deemed appropriate. Information regarding consultants under consideration is included in
Exhibit D. All individual contracts for professional services are anticipated to be within the
City Manager's contract authority. Sufficient funding is currently available in the Downtown
Development Predevelopment Assistance CIP (KC67). However, since these expenses
were not anticipated when the budget was established, it is likely that this fund will need to
be replenished with additional tax increment funds prior to the end of the fiscal year.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The proposed action is not a project for purposes of CEQA (15 California Code of
Regulations 15378).
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS:
On July 31, 2001, Council adopted a resolution regarding "Principles Established for
Council Consideration of a Downtown Sports and Entertainment District." In the staff
report for the meeting of July 22, staff outlined the modifications to those principles
required under various arena scenarios. At a later date, staff will report back on
recommended modifications to this prior policy.
ESBD CONSIDERATIONS:
No goods or services are being purchased under this report

ADOPTED BY THE SACRAMENTO CITY COUNCIL
ON DATE OF
RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO
NEGOTIATE THE TERMS OF A PUBLIC-PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT TO CONSTRUCT AND
OPERATE A NEW ARENA EITHER NEXT TO ARCO ARENA
IN NORTH NATOMAS OR IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO
WHEREAS, according to a City-authorized study, confirmed by the Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce, Arco Arena, which was constructed in 1988, will be at the end of
its useful life within five years and any new facility will take approximately five years to
construct; and
WHERAS, the cost of remodeling Arco Arena to meet today's codes and design
standards could exceed the cost of demolishing the old arena and building a new one next
to it, and it would be difficult to stage basketball games and other events during
remodeling; and
WHEREAS, the City currently owns 100 acres and the Sacramento Kings NBA
Basketball Team owners (Kings) own 85 acres at the site, including the existing arena,
and reciprocal ownership rights prevent either party from developing its own portion of
the 185-acre site ("185-Acre Site") without the consent of the other party; and
WHEREAS, 185-acre Arco Arena site could be jointly developed by the City and
the Kings to:
a. Demolish the current arena; build a new, more compact arena
closer to the planned light rail station at the site; and develop the
remaining site with a mix of retail, entertainment, office and housing
uses, that would share parking with the arena, and generate

revenue to help pay the cost of the new arena; or
b.
Be developed with a mix of retail, entertainment, office and housing
uses that would generate revenue to help pay the cost of the new
arena;
WHEREAS,
the experience of many cities is that locating arenas in urban core
areas supports existing businesses, attracts new businesses, increases hotel and
convention bookings, promotes use of transit infrastructure, and promotes residential
development;
WHEREAS, it may be of greater community benefit to locate an arena in
downtown Sacramento; however, it may not be financially feasible;
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously adopted a policy regarding public
financing of a new arena, the most important elements of which are: the financing must
not adversely affect the City's General Fund, which pays for City police, fire, library,
streets, parks, recreation, code enforcement, and other essential municipal services;
public funding should focus on public infrastructure; there should be no new taxes
without a vote; and the financing must not adversely affect the payoff of the existing $83
million loan to the Kings; and
WHEREAS, it
would be consistent with the City's policy to pay for the cost of
constructing a new multipurpose arena with private sources, as well as user fees,
surcharges, assessments, and other revenues generated exclusively at the 185-acre
Arco Arena site; and to require repayment by the private sector of the existing loan for
the Arco Arena.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO that:
The City Manager shall negotiate with the Kings and other stakeholders the
terms and conditions of a partnership agreement to construct a new arena, provided
that:
1.
Private financial support would be, at a minimum, at a level consistent with
the private financial support provided in similar situations in other municipalities,
and would likely include lease payments to the city for a period not less than the
period necessary to pay the total cost of the arena, and could include revenues
from naming rights, parking charges, surcharges on ticket and concession sales,
-2-

DATE ADOPTED:
media revenues and other identifiable sources of income.
2. Public funding would be limited to user fees, surcharges, assessments , and
other revenues generated exclusively at the 185-acre site.
3. Public funding measures would involve no taxes unless such taxes are
approved by voters.
4. The City may also seek regional financial support from those cities and
counties that would benefit from a multi-purpose arena.
5. In addition to the private and public funding measures outlined above, the
City would partner with the private sector to jointly develop the 185-acre Arco
Arena site, or portion thereof, and use the taxes and revenues generated from
the joint development to help fund the new arena. The development may not
involve a shopping center that would compete with Downtown Plaza.
6. The following guidelines shall govern the City Manager's negotiations:
a. The total cost of the arena shall not exceed $350,000,000.
b. The City shall commit funds generated by the sale and reuse of the
185-Acre Site to the project, not to exceed $50,000,000.
c. The City and other public partners, and MSE and other private partners,
shall evenly split the balance of the cost of the arena;
d. City contributions beyond those generated by reuse of the 185-Acre
Site shall be subject to voter approval.

7. The staff shall report back to the Council on September 21, 2004, with a site-
specific project and financing plan, and with a plan to schedule a Special Election in
March 2005 for voter approval, that includes a financing plan acceptable to Council.
The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution
and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.

Page 1 of 19
The City of Sacramento (City), in recognition of the public benefits to be derived, and an investor group led
by Mark Mastrov, Ron Burkle and Vivek Ranadive (Investor Group or Kings HoldCo) have developed terms
for a public-private project that would result in the potential development of a new multi-purpose
entertainment and sports center (ESC) and the redevelopment of the Downtown Plaza. The Investor Group
has (i) submitted a proposal to the owners of the general partner of Sacramento Kings Limited Partnership
(Kings TeamCo or Kings or Team) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) to acquire all of the equity
in such general partner and (ii) intends to keep the Kings in Sacramento long-term, contingent on the
development of a new ESC (as defined below). The NBA is evaluating options regarding the future home of
the Kings franchise. This Term Sheet, if approved by the City, will be submitted to the NBA to assist it in its
due diligence process, and will only be effective if the NBA approves the Investor Group as new owners of
the Kings and the Investor Group consummates the acquisition of the Team. If the NBA approves the
Investor Group as the new owners of the Kings and the Investor Group consummates the acquisition of the
Team, Kings HoldCo would likely establish an affiliated entity to develop, construct, and operate the ESC
(Kings ESCCo); an affiliated entity to operate the Team (Kings TeamCo); and possibly other related entities.
The definitive documents will specify the legal entities participating in the proposed transaction.
This Term Sheet sets forth the process and framework by which the parties agree to negotiate definitive
documents and potential approvals to be considered by the City regarding the potential location, financing,
ownership, design, development, construction, operation, use, and occupancy of a new, first class, state-of-the
art, multi-purpose entertainment and sports center (ESC) that will serve as the home of the Kings and will also
host family shows, concerts, sporting events, community-oriented events, and numerous other events. The
Investor Group has also expressed an interest in acquiring and operating a WNBA franchise to play its home
games in the ESC. The parties agree to prepare definitive legal documents that contain the basic terms set
forth herein, with other agreed terms consistent with this Term Sheet that are customarily included in similar
agreements for the location, financing, ownership, design, development, construction, operation, use, and
occupancy of comparable facilities. The parties intend that the planning, design, development and
construction of the ESC will be led by Kings HoldCo, which will have final decision-making authority for that
process, subject to City review and the provisions included herein, but that the entire process be a cooperative,
mutual endeavor in which the parties actively participate and work together, in good faith and with due
diligence – a public-private partnership.
Although this Term Sheet contains the proposed, non-binding terms of a potential transaction which the City
has agreed to process, the parties agree that no obligation to enter into definitive transaction documents, or any
transaction, shall exist and no project or definitive transaction documents shall be deemed to be approved,
until after (i) the proposed project is reviewed in accordance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), (ii) any additional conditions or changes to the project based on the
CEQA review have been resolved in a manner acceptable to the City and Investor Group and (iii) all required
permits for the project have been obtained by the City in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Parties
City of Sacramento (City)
Investor Group or Kings HoldCo – Parent company that owns and controls
affiliates described herein (and possibly others).
Kings ESCCo – Kings HoldCo affiliate responsible for developing, constructing,
and operating the ESC.
Kings TeamCo – Kings HoldCo affiliate responsible for owning and operating
the Team.
Note: The definitive legal documents will identify the legal entities formed by the
Investor Group to acquire the controlling interest in the Kings and to develop the
ESC.
Ownership The ESC shall be owned by the City or a public entity controlled by the City.
The land on which the ESC will be developed shall be owned by Kings ESCCo
and leased to the City or a public entity controlled by the City for $1.00 per year
for a term that will be co-terminous with the term (including any extensions) of
the lease of, and management agreement for, the ESC. If, at the end of the term
of the lease and management agreement, the City desires to continue to operate
the ESC, the City and Kings ESCCo shall enter into good faith negotiations
regarding the terms pursuant to which the parties would extend the term of the
land lease for the period of such continued operation. This ownership structure,
as well as alternative ownership structures, will be considered by the City and the
Investor Group, but must be designed so as to not negatively impact the tax status
of the City’s financing. The ownership structure as mutually agreed upon by the
City and Investor Group shall be detailed in the definitive legal documents,
which may include appropriate refinements to the terms in this Term Sheet,
provided that the final ownership structure does not adversely affect the interests
of the Investor Group.
Location The ESC is proposed to be located at the Downtown Plaza on property currently
owned or controlled by the City and affiliates of JMA Ventures, LLC (JMA), and
on other parcels to be acquired or leased by the Investor Group, as necessary.
See Exhibit 1 for a map that illustrates the Downtown Plaza location. The exact
location on the ESC shall be determined by agreement of the parties, following
additional design and planning. The parties may consider other locations by
agreement.

Description The ESC shall be a new, first-class, state-of-the art, LEED certified, multi-
purpose entertainment and sports center that will serve as the home of the Kings
(and potentially a WNBA franchise), and will also host family shows, concerts,
sporting events, community oriented events, and numerous other events. The
ESC shall also include the practice and training facility of the Kings.
See Exhibit 2 for a summary description of the ESC’s preliminary program
elements. The definitive agreements will contain a more detailed description of
program elements.
Sources and Uses of
Funds
Except as otherwise specified herein, each party shall be solely responsible for
securing its financing and other funding sources required for the planning,
construction, and development of the ESC.
See Exhibit 3 for a preliminary list of sources and uses of funds to develop the
ESC.
1997 Lease Revenue
Bonds
The City, in coordination with the Kings, shall retire the 1997 Lease Revenue
Bonds issued by the Sacramento City Financing Authority upon the Team
vacating Sleep Train Arena (currently anticipated to take place in September
2016). The City (or a Financing JPA or other similar entity) shall issue new
bonds in an amount sufficient to pay all principal, interest, and other amounts
(including interest swap penalties (if any)) necessary to retire the 1997 Lease
Revenue Bonds, on terms and conditions generally comparable to the terms and
conditions of the 1997 Lease Revenue Bonds, including an amortization period
of 30 years. Kings TeamCo shall make timely payments in an amount sufficient
to pay debt service associated with the new bonds. Payment shall be made
regardless of labor disturbances (strike/lockout) or other force majeure events.
Kings TeamCo shall provide adequate security or collateral (or a combination
thereof) (Security) for repayment of the bonds, which may include an ESC
lockbox mechanism to capture revenues to pay annual debt service. "Adequate"
means the value of the Security (applying reasonable risk assessment standards to
such Security), if liquidated, would yield sufficient proceeds to repay all amounts
outstanding on the bonds. If the City and the Investor Group cannot agree upon
Adequate Security, the determination shall be made by an independent
investment banking firm specializing in municipal finance. The parties shall use
their respective commercially reasonable efforts to implement alternative
structures that would allow for off-balance sheet financing, subject to Kings
TeamCo providing Adequate Security. Kings TeamCo shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to utilize proceeds from the sale of its approximately 85 acres
of land at the site in North Natomas, as well as other sources, to pay down the
current balance of the 1997 Lease Revenue Bonds and reduce the principal
amount of the new bonds to be issued.

well as other standards, requirements, and timing related to design, development,

documents.
The parties intend that the entire project will be conducted as a cooperative,
mutual endeavor in which the parties actively participate and work together with
due diligence and in good faith. The parties will put in place and manage a
design process for the ESC whereby the City will have direct input and will
participate in developing a design that achieves the best possible project within
the agreed program description and project budget. The City will be entitled to
provide its input, and to the extent required by existing law will have approval
rights, with respect to the ESC design at various stages of the design process,
including schematic design, design development, and construction document
phases of the project. The parties will implement a similar process for project
design and construction change orders.
The ESC preliminary program is contained in Exhibit 2, which sets forth the
intended size and components to be implemented through the design and
construction of the project. The ESC shall be constructed in accordance with the
program elements and the Quality Standard (as defined below), subject to

shall be first-class and state of the art, comparable to other NBA facilities
including Amway Center (Orlando), Barclay’s Center (Brooklyn), Chesapeake
Energy Arena (Oklahoma City) and Pepsi Center (Denver). The standard of
quality and design of the project shall be comparable, taken as a whole, to the
standard of quality used in the design and construction of the facilities named
above. The ESC design and construction must also comply with NBA rules,
including those related to technology and guest experience.

to open the ESC by September 2016 and shall promptly after the date hereof
agree upon a schedule of milestones regarding CEQA, permits and other
important events such as to meet such timetable.

2010-0002 Ratifying Amendments to Agreement that Relate to 1997 Lease Revenue Bonds (Arco Arena)
Resolution ,
107694K ,
Wednesday, January 26, 2011,
pdf
RESOLUTION NO. 2010-002
Adopted by the Financing Authority
September 7, 2010
RATIFYING AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENTS THAT RELATE TO 1997 LEASE
REVENUE BONDS (ARCO ARENA)
BACKGROUND
A. On April 15, 1997, the Sacramento City Financing Authority ("the Authority") adopted
Resolution No. 97-001, thereby authorizing the issuance, sale, and delivery of bonds
in an amount not to exceed $75 million for the purpose of financing the acquisition of
certain real property and the facilities thereon constituting a sports arena known as
ARCO Arena ("the Acquisition Bonds").
B. By approving Resolution No. 97-001, the Authority authorized and directed its officers
and agents, jointly and severally, to do any and all thing sand to execute and deliver
any and all documents they deemed necessary or advisable to in order to carry out,
give effect to, and comply with the resolution.
C. In May 2003, relying on the above-stated provision of Resolution No. 97-001, staff
executed the following documents:
1. A letter agreement dated April 10, 2003, between the City, Sacramento Kings
Limited Partnership ("the Kings partnership"); the National Basketball Association
("the NBA"); and U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), successor to First
Trust of California, N.A. ("First Trustee") as trustee for the Acquisition Bonds. This
letter agreement amended a letter agreement dated July 30, 1997, between the
City, the Kings Partnership, the NBA, and First Trust, by which the NBA approved a
Team Owner's Relocation Assurance Agreement dated July 1, 1997, between the
City and the Kings Partnership. The Team Owner's Relocation Assurance
Agreement obligates the Kings Partnership to pay the City an amount equal to the
outstanding principal and interest on the Acquisition Bonds if the Sacramento Kings
NBA franchise relocates to another city before the Acquisition Bonds have been
retired. To secure the performance of this obligation, the Kings Partnership and
First Trust entered into a Security Agreement that granted First Trust, as trustee for
the Acquisition Bonds, a security interest of $20 million in the Sacramento Kings
franchise. With the amended letter agreement, the NBA approved an increase in
the security interest from $20 million to $25 million. The Security Agreement was
also amended to reflect this increase.
2. A revised Subordination Agreement, dated May 5, 2003, between the Authority and
U.S Bank successor to First Trust as trustee of the Acquisition Bonds. Under the
original subordination Agreement, the Authority and the trustee of the Acquisition
Resolution 2010-002
September 7, 2010 1
Bonds, which by assignment is the holder of the City's right under the Team
Owner's Relocation Assurance Agreement, agreed to subordinate the security
interest created by the Security Agreement to a senior lien of $30 million. The
revised Subordination Agreement increased that amount of the senior lien (which
secures the NBA's loans to the Kings Partnership under the credit facility) to $75
million.
D. In 2010, during a review of the legal documents associated with the ARCO Arena
bonds, staff determined that Resolution No. 97-001 did not clearly grant administrative
authority to amend terms and documents once the bonds had been issued.
E. Because it has been determined that Resolution No. 97-001 does not clearly reflect an
intent by the Authority to grant staff on-going administrative authority to amend the
documents after the bonds have been issued, and because all involved parties have
relied upon the 2003 amendments, the Authority desires to ratify the letter agreement
dated April 10, 2003, and the revised Subordination Agreement dated May 5, 2003.
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE FINANCING
AUTHORITY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1
The Authority hereby ratifies (a) the revised Subordination Agreement dated
May 5, 2003, describes in paragraph C (1) above; and (b) the letter agreement
dated April 10, 2003
Section 2 In accordance with California law, the Authority intends that this ratification
relate back to the 2003 date of each document.
