City Council 8-19-2024 Agenda Item 12: OPERATING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY

The proposed changes are ambiguous regarding the cost and managementof water service for the "RBOCArea" as defined in the Agreement. Clarification of these ambiguities is appropriate and necessary as failure to address these ambiguities could frustrate management of the Agreement.
Payment for cost of water. Paragraph 3.5.4 "Limitation on Charges" says that "City must not charge the RBOC any fees, costs or charges related to use ... of the RBOC Area." Paragraph 7.1 "Applicable Standard" defines "use" as including "for golf courses and related facilities to operate and use the facilities..." The implication is that RBOC does not have to pay for costs related to the RBOC Area - including Brookside Golf Course, which is the largest water customer in PWP's service area. Providing relief to the RBOCof the cost of water would shift that burden to other PWP customers and would not be permissible under Proposition 218. This ambiguity must be clarified by adding language to Paragraph
3.5.4 that says that "The above terms for 'Use of the ROBOC Area' under this paragraph do not relieve the RBOC of the requirement that it is responsible for the costs of water service for the RBOC Area." Limitations on how water use is managed. Paragraph 7.1 "Applicable Standard" deletes the listing of comparable golf courses and in its place says "for golf courses and related facilities to operate and use the facilities at a standard of performance and operation of the highest quality and comparable to other similar publicly owned golf courses operations in southern California." This implies that the Brookside Golf Courses must be permitted to have the highest use of water when compared to "similar" golf courses and determination of which golf courses are "similar" is left to interpretation. As an example, would a golf course that is similar in most regards but uses recycled water for irrigation be similar? This is also complicated by the fact that State regulations of water in recent years has been applied differently for municipal utilities and failure of the RBOC to manage water under those regulations would shift the RBOC conservation burden to other PWP customers. Language should be included in paragraph 7.1 that says that "Notwithstanding the above 'Applicable Standard' definition, the RBOC shall manage its water use to conform to local. State or Federal standards for water use that are imposed on Pasadena Water and Power and/or its customers." Additionally, Attachment A (Exhibit A: Site Plan of RBOC Area) identifies different areas with green and yellow outlines with no accompanying legend to differentiate between them. This exhibit should use a single boundary format 18/19/2024

Pasadena, CA 91101
Dear Mayor Gordo and City Council Members,
Thank you for your strong consideration and hopeful approval of the new operating agreement for the Rose Bowl Operating Company. As you well know, and as shown by prior presentations by RBOC staff, the sports-entertainment marketplace has shifted to a different space over the past decade-plus. The new Operating Agreement will allow America's Stadium to remain nimble in order to evolve and remain competitive.
As a 25+year veteran Banking Executive, I feet the Rose BowlStadiumStaff has been dutiful in their responsibility to ensure great leadership and a balanced budget, resulting in starting necessary upgrades to ensure a continued positive experience for its core tenants, patrons, and the community. The Stadium's continued success benefits all of us, as net revenues will undoubtedly help capital project improvements and preventative maintenance.
We are proud that at 102 years young, the Rose Bowl Stadium remains the best open-air stadium in the United States of America. With the world coming our way in 2028 for the Olympic Games, it is imperative that the Council continues to take the necessary steps to empower the RBOC's Leadership to lead in our evolving marketplace, not follow.
Thankyou for your trust in the RBOC, and in the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation, as we continue to work diligently across the Nation to raise needed funds to ensure future generations can enjoy the amazing Legacy that this generation has worked hard to continue. We look forward to continued success.
Kind regards,

Re: Council Meeting 8/19/2024; Agenda Item 11; Delegation of Displacement Event Findings to RBOC By Council.
Mayor Gordo and Councilmembers,
The Linda Vista-Annandale Association (LVAA) appreciates this opportunity to comment on the proposed Amendment to the Arroyo Seco Public Lands Ordinance (the Ordinance).
First, it is important to recognize and acknowledge that the Ordinance is a foundational document governing the Central and LowerArroyo Seco and the character of these irreplaceable Open Spaces devoted primarily to passive recreation surrounded by highly valued Pasadena residential neighborhoods on both sides oftheArroyo. The Ordinance recognizes these aspects of the Arroyo areas and asserts and requires that Rose Bowl Displacement events take place within a context of positive and effective Neighborhood Protection. A copy of the Ordinance is attached hereto, and relevant sections of the Ordinance dealing with purposes, Neighborhood Protection and required Findings are highlighted for your information and review.
LVAA has several issues with this proposal which undercuts a basic responsibility imposed on the Council by the Ordinance: balancing Neighborhood Protection and preservation of the Arroyo with Rose Bowl Displacement events.
In fact, in our view, delegating the Required Findings under the Ordinance creates an obvious Conflict of Interest. The RBOC has little interest in Neighborhood Protection, its primary interest is in making money for the Rose Bowl including payment of the never- ending Bonds. Why would the RBOC give much consideration at all to balancing Neighborhood Protection with Rose Bowl profit as required by the Ordinance? To mitigate this obvious Conflict if the Council decides to move forward, LVAA suggests the following measures.
First, reduce the proposed length of time, TEN years, for this "temporary" delegation.
This length of time might as well be permanent, and disagreement surrounding the time period for this proposal was a major cause of the split vote at EdTech. We suggest a
8/19/2024
Item 11 & 12
more reasonable trial period to see if this proposal has a chance of success: perhaps 2 or 4 years.
Second, for some Displacement events the Conflict will probably be minor such as Music Festival Events, but for other Displacement events the Conflict may create challenges of which we have current knowledge and concerns that may not be resolvable at the RBOC including large Big 10 UCLA games, certain large Concerts that have created enormous neighborhood issues recently, and Soccer games involving International teams that also have created large numbers of neighborhood issues recently. We suggest a Right of Appeal to the Council for RBOC determinations as to required Findings when it is apparent that the balance of profit and Neighborhood Protection cannot be struck by the RBOC.
Third, we are very concerned now about the large number of Soccer games with 90,000 or so attendees that the City apparently has agreed to host at the Rose Bowl for the upcoming Los Angeles Olympics. Exactly to what extent the Neighborhoods will be protected and the interests of the Neighborhoods and the Rose Bowl balanced under these circumstances is unclear and in our view the delegation of required Findings to the RBOC under this circumstance will fail. We suggest that the Required Findings under the Ordinance for Olympics Soccer games be carved out of this delegation proposal and remain as a Council responsibility.
Thank you for your attention to our comments and concerns.
Sincerely,
Ni^a/C'hom^ky

'; Marquez, Miguel <[email protected]>; Jens Weiden Good afternoon Mayor Gordo and City Council members,
The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce is in full support of expanding the number of displacement events at the Rose Bowl.
The Rose Bowl is a massive economic generator for the City of Pasadena and our business community. Events there fill our hotel rooms (at top rates) and our restaurants and shops. Further, visitors to the Bowl see Pasadena, many for the first time, and often return to enjoy everything we have to offer.
Events at the Rose Bowl are very well managed. Traffic, noise and crowds are controlled so there is as little impact on the neighbors as possible.
Please support the Rose Bowl in its efforts to increase revenues,.attract visitors and bring attention to Pasadena by adding more displacement events.
Thankyou for your service to Pasadena and your constituents.
Sincerely,
Paul

Re: City Council Meeting 8/19/2024; Agenda Item 12; Amended RBOC Operating Agreement Mayor Gordo and Councilmembers,
The Linda Vista-Annandale Association (LVAA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on two sections of the proposed Amended and Restated RBOC Operating Agreement with the City.
Section 3.1. Last Paragraph: New Jurisdictions. In the interests of transparency and mitigation of impacts on adjacent and surrounding residential and/or commercial areas, LVAA suggests adding the requirements of a public hearing and a Conditional Use Permit if the jurisdiction of the RBOC is expanded to act as the Managing Agent for parts of the City other than the RBOC Area.
Section 5.2 - Neighborhood Relations. LVAA objects to this Section as revised in that the new language referring to consistency with current practices is NOT acceptable. Current practices are much reduced and limited when compared to the practices in place under the leadership of Darryl Dunn. LVAA requests that the language in the first sentence read instead: "consistent with best Neighborhood Protection practices" Further, we support the use of the words "best efforts" later in the section, and observe that best practices and best efforts are not the same concept.
Thank you for your attention to our comments and concerns.
Sincerely,
Nina Chomsky
LVAA President
ec: LVAA Board of Directors

This email is from Armen Shirvanian. I am the owner of Mi Place. We have been in Pasadena for 34 years and live this city. We are totally in favor of this proposal and hope the council will vote unanimously to increase the total number of events.
