Area 63 Productions Amendment 2
Discussion
Area 63 Productions' unique and focused abilities and expertise are helping deliver successful attraction amenities for Launch Pointe through a planned "Vintage Trailer Camp" or "Airstream Village," including the yurts and group camping areas. Their agreement with the City provides on- call services, including training and on-site consulting to activate yurts and trailers like a boutique spa/hotel arrangement. Their staff is uniquely trained in hotel and venue management, focusing on customer service, including housekeeping and back-of-house training, and capacity building of on-site staff. They will continue to focus on yurts and vintage trailer repairs and training. To properly maintain the yurts and trailers for the remainder of the fiscal year, it is necessary to increase the amount of Area 63's agreement by $50,000.00.
Fiscal Impact
The services provided will be funded up to $175,000 from operating budget funds.
