During the current reporting period there were a total of 319,778 tickets sold for the seven ticketed Non-NFL events that were held, resulting in $1.3 million Non-NFL event ticket surcharge revenue (from the $4 per ticket Non-NFL event surcharge). The ticketed Non-NFL events in the current reporting period were large-scale events resulting in a large increase in the ticket surcharge revenue over the same period in the prior year.

The Discretionary Fund is funded by rev enue equal to 50% of the Non-NFL Ticket Surcharge of $4 per ticket. The seven ticket ed Non-NFL events contributed $640,000 to the Discretionary Fund in the reporting period. Table 8 shows the revenues and expenses in the Discretionary Fund since FY2014/15.

Stadium Builder Licenses
The total principal value of currently active Stadium Bu ilder Licenses (“SBLs”) is $543.8 million and, as of December 31, 2022, 93% of the total principal value of all SBLs sold (i.e., $506.2 million) had been collected.
SBL holders that finance their purchase pay an annual interest rate of 8.5% and payments are due by March 1
st each year. The majority of SBL holders make their payments on time. For those that do not pay on time, SBL service staff, working for the Stadium Manager on the Stadium Authority’s behalf, contact the SBL holders and attempt to collect the full amounts owed. Ultimately, an SBL can be defaulted for non-payment. Once an SBL is defaulted, the SBL holder in default loses their right to buy season tickets as well as their priority rights to tickets to N on-NFL Events, and forfei ts any money they had invested in the SBL. Defaulted SBLs are then available for resale.
There is a total of 62,311 currently active SBLs, or 94% of the 66,136 sellable SBL seats as of December 31, 2022. This is an increase of 356 from the total active SBLs at the end of the prior fiscal year (March 31, 2022). The main reasons for the increase are due to sale of new SBLs offset by the customer seat relocation program and default buy back.
The customer seat relocation program allows customers to trade in their SBLs in return for others in a different location as long as t he total face value of the new seats is equal to or greater than the original seats.

15 Santa Clara Stadium Authority Budget Status Reports
Operating Budget
With 75% of the fiscal year complete, total operating revenues for the third quarter of the FY 2022/23 were $54.2 million representing 79% of the ov erall budget for revenues.
Stadium rent earned from St adCo totaled $19.4 million or 78% of budget. During the current reporting period, the Stadium Authority collected $14.5 million in SBL proceeds or 59% of what was budgeted. SBL proceeds are expected achieve budgeted level as annual payment for financed SBL payment plans are due in March. All SBL proceeds are to be transferred to the debt service f und per applicable loan agreements. Stadium Authority also collected NFL ticket surc harges, Sponsorship Revenue, Naming Rights Revenue, and Senior & Youth Program Fees all of which are expected to meet budget this fiscal year.
Total operating expenses were $41.2 million, or 60% of the annual budget, which included the debt service transfers of $26.2 million.
For the current fiscal year, the Stadium Authority’s FY2022/23 budget was adopted on March 15, 2022 and included the Stadium Manager’s recommended Shared Expense budget of $10.5 million in a Legal Contingency line item. The expenses that were included in the Legal Contingency lin e are Stadium Operations, En gineering, Guest Services, Groundskeeping, Security and the Stadium M anagement Fee. However, the Executive Director was delegated authority to approve budget amendments of $5.1 million to move funds from the Legal Contingency line item to Shared Expenses after the review of adequate documentations for costs based on B oard direction. Subsequent to that direction, Stadium Authorit y staff met with the Stadium Manager on April 12, 2022 to review documentation for shared expenses. After follow-up meeti ngs with the Stadium Manager, payments related to compensation we re reviewed and approved for monthly payment, totaling $5.1 million for the fiscal year.
On August 31, 2022, the Stadium Authority entered into a settlement agreement with StadCo and Stadium Manager ov er disputes regarding the Operating and Management Expenses, Shared Expenses, and Capital Expenditures that were previously withheld. As part of the settlement, the Stadium Authority agreed to pay for the budgeted expense for its share of Shared Stadium Manager Expenses and other expenses for the current fiscal year. This settlement does not cover Public Safety Costs and NFL-SBL Buffet costs which are part of an unsettled claim.
Shared Stadium Manger expenses were at 73% or $9.2 million of the $12.5 million budgeted amount, and SBL Sales & Service ex penses were 75% of the budget, or $1.6 million. The Stadium Authority pays for all utility costs from February 1 st through July
31st and the tenant (StadCo) pays fo r utility costs from August 1 st through January 31 st (Tenant Season). Therefore, utilit y costs are 67% of the budget for the third quarter, or $1.0 million. The current reporting period covers 67% (four out of the six months) that the Stadium Authority is responsible for utility costs. Transfers out for debt service amounted 16 to $26.2 million. Lastly, Stadium Authority G&A costs were tracking below budgeted levels at $1.6 million or 38% of the budget.
Overall, the Stadium Authority operating fund ended the third quarter with a fund balance of $52.2 million, an increase of $13.3 million or 34%. Included in that amount is an $12.3 million Operating Reserve and a $2.7 mill ion Discretionary Fund. Excess Revenue Distribution Reserve is the difference between revenues and expenses related to the Stadium operations. It excludes Stadium Authority disbursement of Discretionary Fund, Legal Contingency, and net revenues from Non-NFL events, which has a timing difference. All accumulated excess revenues are redistributed to pay off debt and fund the necessary reserve accounts per Article 14 of the Stadium Lease Agreement at year- end.

18 Operating Budget – Recommended Budget Adjustments
From time to time, budget adjustments may be necessary to align revenues or expenditures to actual or unexpected activity during the course of a fiscal year, known after the adoption of the Stadium Authority Budget.
On March 7, 2023, the Stadi um Authority Board adopted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority FY 2023/24 Operating, Debt Service, and Capital Budget which also includes projected revenues, expenses, and transfers out for FY 2022/23. The following budget adjustments are requested based on the projected actuals reported:
1) The San Francisco 49ers played one (1) pr e-season, ten (10) regular season, and two (2) post-season NFL games in FY 20 22/23 which resulted in higher than anticipated revenues from NFL Ticket Surcharge by $545,000. Senior and Youth Program Fees (based on $0. 35 per NFL game ticket) are also projected to be higher than anticipated by $13,000. Budget adjustment are needed to reflect the increases in the payment to the City’s’ General Fund by $13,000 as well as the revenues from NFL Ticket Surcharge by $545,000 and Senior & Youth Program Fees by $13,000 to the Stadium Authority.
2) There were seven (7) public Non-NFL events held at the Stadium in FY 2022/23 which resulted in higher than anticipated net revenues from Non-NFL Events by $7.0 million. Non-NFL Event Ticket Surcharge (based on $4.00 per Non-NFL event ticket) and the corresponding Transfers Out to Discretionary Fund Reserve (based on $2.00 per Non-NFL event ticket) ar e also projected to be higher than anticipated. Budget adjustments are need ed to reflect the increases in the contribution to Discretionary Fund Reserv e ($355,000) as well as Net Revenues from Non-NFL Events by $7.0 million and revenues fr om Non-NFL Event Ticket Surcharge by $710,000 to the Stadium Authority.
3) Due to improved economy and interest environment, an additional $130,000 from collection of SBL Proceeds and $1.0 million from interest income are projected for FY 2022/23. In addition, a portion of the FY 2021/22 Naming Rights revenue ($3.6 million) was collected in FY 2022/23. Budget adjustments are needed to align with the projected actuals.
4) Discretionary Fund Expense is projec ted to increase by $1.1 million, from $250,000 to $1.3 million for FY 2022/23. This includes distributions of $650,000 to the General Fund and St adium Authority operations . A budget adjustment is needed to reflect these distributions.
5) Use of StadCo Tenant Impr ovements is projected to be higher than anticipated by $34,000 as more Non-NFL events were held in FY 2022/23. A budget adjustment is needed to reflect the increase in the payment to StadCo.
6) The calculation for FY 2022/23 perfo rmance-based rent is 50% of the Net Revenues from Non-NFL Events less the sum of performance-based rent credits. 19 The performance-based rent credits include 50% of the current year’s base ground rent ($230,000) and credited public safety costs ($3.4 million). Public Safety Costs exceeding threshold can be treated as cr edits towards performance-based rent which is part of an unsettlement claim, and a budget adjustment is needed to reflect the increase in Legal Contingency Reserve for Public Safety Costs by $3.4 million
7) Net of corresponding payments to t he City’s General Fund and various reserve contributions, revenues related budget adjustments above are projected to increase total source of funds by $9.3 million. Disputes regar ding the Operating and Management Expenses an d Shared Expenses were settled on August 31, 2022, and $10.5 million of Contingency Reserve from FY 2021/22 are expected to be released as additional source of funds. Total projected increase of $19.8 million to source of funds will mainly be us ed for additional StadCo Subordinated Loan pre-payment ($5.4 m illion) and contributions to Oper ating Reserve ($7.3 million) and Renovation/Demolition Reserve ($7. 0 million). Budget adjustments are needed to align with the projected actuals.

24 Debt Service Budget – Recommended Budget Adjustments From time to time, budget adjustments may be necessary to align revenues or expenditures to actual or unexpected activity during the course of a fiscal year, known after the adoption of the Stadium Authority Budget.
On March 7, 2023, the Stadi um Authority Board adopted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority FY 2023/24 Operating, Debt Service, and Capital Budget which also includes projected contribution, transfers in, and debt service payments for FY 2022/23. The following budget adjustments are requested based on the projected actuals reported:
1) Due to improved economy, an additional $199,000 in Contribution from CFD is projected for FY 2022/23. A budget adj ustment of $199,000 million is needed to reflect the projected increase in both tr ansient occupancy tax collections by the City’s General Fund and CFD Advance payment.
2) Net of corresponding payments to t he City’s General Fund and various reserve contributions, revenues related budget adjustments requested under the Operating Budget above are pr ojected to increase total source of funds by $9.3 million. Of the additional $9.3 million in source of funds, an additional $5.4 million are projected to be transferred to the Debt Service Fund for StadCo Subordinated Loan pre-payment. A budget adjustment is needed to align with the projected actuals.

26 Capital Improvement Project Budget
As part of the Capital Expense (“CapEx”) Plan, the following projects have been completed as of the current reporting period:
Financial Management Information System Project
Emergency Recycled Water Line Repair Project
Command Post Communication Equipment
Gold Lot 4 and 5 Lighting
Rust Prevention Mitigation CapEx Project
Mechanical and Electrical Clo set Lighting CapEx Project License Plate Reader at Vehicle Entry Gates
Mobile Security Closed Circuit Television
The following CapEx projects are currently in progress and expected to be completed by the end of the fiscal year:
Stadium Insulation CapEx Project
Non-Slip Floor Matting CapEx Project
Lift Station CapEx Project
Loading Dock Lighting CapEx Project
The CIP Budget increased from $21.7 million to $23.1 million in the current reporting period. A total of $2.3 million has been spent in FY 2022/23, which amounts to 10% of the budget. The main reasons that this is below budget are little activity on warranty work which makes up 7% of the CI P Budget and delays in projec ts due to staffing shortage from the contractors as a result of COVID-19.
On August 31, 2022, the Stadium Authorit y entered into a settlement agreement with StadCo and Stadium Manager ov er disputes regarding the Operating and Management Expenses, Shared Expenses, and Capital Expenditures that were previously withheld. As part of the settlement, in regard to Capital Expenditures, the Stadium Authority agreed to discontinue the current practice of withholding payment for Capital Expenditures subject to the review and approval of the prevailing wage documentation by Stadium Authority’s labor law compliance consultant. Under th e Settlement Agreemen t, Stadium Manager further confirmed its obligation to comply with applicable laws, including Prevailing Wage Laws, and Stadium Manager also implemented its new inte rnal Prevailing Wage Laws compliance policy and procedures. Accordingly, the Stadium Authority will process the invoice payments as they come in.

28 CIP Budget – Recommended Budget Adjustments
From time to time, budget adjustments may be necessary to align revenues or expenditures to actual or unexpected activity during the course of a fiscal year, known after the adoption of the Stadium Authority Budget. As of the timing of the publication of this report, additional information from FY 2022/23 has resulted in recommended budget adjustments as follows:
1) Enclosed Trailer CapEx Project – The Police Department received approved budget of $15,283 to purchase an enclosed tra iler that will better protect existing mules from the elements. The opening of t he original trailer design had incorrect size and dimensions, and an alternative trailer design was subsequently tested and selected. A budget adjustment is needed to increase this line item by $1,139 to $16,422.
2) Crestron Control & Buildi ng Operating System Upgrades CapEx Project – In FY 2021/22, ManCo received approved budget of $10,000 to upgrade system for monitoring HVAC, lighting, electrical, and fire alarms. A portion of the upgrades were anticipated to complete in FY2021/22, and only $4,001 were carried over to FY 2022/23 budget. This project experi enced delays and some of the upgrades anticipated to complete in FY 2021/22 were completed during FY 2022/23. A budget adjustment is needed to increase this line item by $2,519 to $6,520.

30 City of Santa Clara Net General Fund Impact
During the current reporting period there was a total of $1.1 million that was contributed to the General Fund as shown in Table 17. This section of the report also provides information on General Fund revenue and expenditure impacts resulting from the stadium.
Table 17
Public Safety and Administrative Cost Reimbursement
As described in earlier sections of this report, costs incurred by the City on NFL and Non- NFL Events are tracked and billed to t he Stadium Manager. Reimbursements are monitored and included in this report. Public safety costs incurred in support of NFL and Non-NFL events occurring in FY2022/23 totaled $4 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
These reimbursements come from a combination of payments from the Stadium Manager and the offsite parking fees that were co llected. The City has received $2.3 million in reimbursements as of the end of February 2022.
In addition to public safety costs, administrat ive costs are also tracked and billed to the Stadium Authority. These incl ude the cost of providing overall stadium management, financial, human resource, legal, and other services to the Stadium Authority. In the first three quarters of FY 2022/23, a total of $1.1 million of administrative costs were incurred by the General Fund, which have been reimbursed to the City.
Rents and Senior and Youth Fee
As noted above the City’s General Fund collected ground rent of $460,000. Additionally, the Senior and Youth Fee generated $219,000, of which the entire amount forwarded to the City in support of senior and youth programs. See the Glossary for more information on these revenues and how they are calculated.
Other Revenue Impacts
General Fund sales tax, property tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT) collections have benefited from the direct and indirect economic activity related to stadium events.

Total Net General Fund Impact
31 Food and beverage concession sales and merchandise sales at Levi’s ® Stadium are taxable, resulting in sales tax revenue for t he City. The last three quarters of sales tax collections from Levi’s® Stadium transactions generated $447,000 for the City’s General Fund. In addition to the direct sellers at the Stadium, other businesses in Santa Clara are benefiting from the influx of people coming to attend one or more events at Levi’s ® Stadium, resulting in more sales tax collections for the General Fund.
In accordance with State Law, StadCo must pay possessory interest property tax based on their lease of Levi’s
® Stadium from the Stadium Authority. This revenue is collected by the county and placed into the Redevelopm ent Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF).
Amounts remaining in the RPTTF after payi ng any enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency are distributed to taxing ent ities in the same proportion as secured property taxes. The City’s proportion is approximately 10%.
Many stadium events bring travelers to the region, resulting in hotel stays which generate TOT collections for the City’s General Fund. Although it is difficult to determine the portion of the City’s TOT collections that are attributable to the stadium, it is clear that hotels both inside and outside the City have benefited, resulting in increas es in TOT collections in Santa Clara and our neighboring cities. We continue to work with the hotels and Discover Santa Clara to survey and provide projections regarding TOT collections that result from Levi’s
® Stadium events.
32 Glossary
This section of the report prov ides details behind key terms that are used in the body of this report.
Discretionary Fund – The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement describes the Non-NFL Event ticket surcharge which is imposed by the Stadium Authority. All promotors or sponsors of ti cketed Non-NFL Events are requi red to collect a Non-NFL ticket surcharge of $4 per ticke t on behalf of the Stadium Author ity. One-ha lf of these proceeds are used to cover Stadium Author ity operating and maintenance costs. The other one-half of the proceeds are deposited in the Stadium Authority’s discretionary fund.
If at any time the discretionary fund balance exceeds $1 million, then in consultation with the Stadium Manager, t he Stadium Authority will determi ne if provision has been made for replacement and improvement of capital improvements contemplated under the public safety plan. If not, then funds will be reserved in the discretionary fund for such purposes.
If adequate provision has been made for these items and the balance of the discretionary fund still exceeds $1 million, then up to hal f of the amount over $1 million can be transferred to the General Fund, in which event an equal amount will also be transferred from the discretionary fund to the Stadium Authority operating fund and will be included as revenue available to pay Stadium Authority expenses.
Ground Lease – The Ground Lease Agreement has an initial term of 40 years commencing on the date of substantial completion which was July 31, 2014. The amount of annual base ground rent that is payable by the Stadium Au thority to the City is noted in Table 18 below.

33 final reconciliation of the Non-NFL event revenues and expenses does not occur until after the conclusion of each fiscal year.
NFL Ticket Surcharge – The Amended and Restated Non-Relocation Agreement states that the Team will collect a 10% NFL ticket surcharge on the price of admission to all NFL games on behalf of Stadium Authority.
Non-NFL Event Ticket Surcharge – The Stadium Lease Agreem ent requires that the promoter or sponsor of any Non-NFL Event collect a Non-NFL Event ticket surcharge of $4 per ticket. The Lease Agreement sets aside one-half of the Non-NFL ticket surcharge for stadium operating and maintenance costs and one-half for discretionary expenses of the Stadium Authority.
Offsite Parking Fees – Parking lot operators who wish to operate a parking lot for sports or entertainment venues are required to go through the City’s permitting process. If approved, per the City’s Municipal Fee Schedule, these operators remit an offsite parking fee for each car that is parked for sports or entertainment events. This fee is designed to recover the public safety costs associated with these permitted offsite parking lots.
Therefore, when invoicing for NFL or Non-NFL public safety costs for a particular event held at Levi’s® Stadium, the offsite parking fee that is collected for said event partly offsets the total public safety costs owed for that event. In the City’s FY 2022/23 (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) the offsite parking fee is $6.13.
Performance-Based Rent – The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement and the Ground Lease Agreement both describe the performance-bas ed rent that is due to the City. (It is calculated as 50% of the net income from Non-NFL events less performance-based rent credits. The performance-based rent credits include 50% of the fixed ground rent for the current lease year.)
Public Safety Costs – For each NFL and Non-NFL Event held at Levi’s ® Stadium, a
public safety plan is develo ped and implemented. Multiple City departments provide staffing, materials, and supplies to support the public safety plan. Services are provided through a combination of City staff, contracts with other agencies (California Highway Patrol, County Sheriff’s Office, and City of Sunnyvale) and some vendor provided services.
The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement section 7.5 states that the tenant is responsible for reimbursing the City for the public safety costs attributed to NFL events at Levi’s
® Stadium. Additionally, Article 5 of the Stadium Management Agreement notes that the Stadium Manager is responsible for paying Non-NFL Event expenses on behalf of the Stadium Authority. T herefore, the cost of providing public safety services are tracked through the City’s financial system and invoices are sent to the Stadium Manager.
All of these costs are reimbursed to the City of Santa Clara.
Senior and Youth Program Fees – The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement requires that StadCo collect a S enior and Youth Progra m Fee of $0.35 per 34 NFL ticket sold on behalf of the Stadium Aut hority. Per section 8.2 of the Ground Lease Agreement between the City and the Stadium Authority, the Stadium Authority remits this fee to the City as additional rent to support senior and youth programs in the City.
Stadium Management Fee – The Stadium Manager re ceives an annual base management fee to manage Levi’s® Stadium. The fee was $400,000 in the first lease year and increases by 3% annually as detailed in the table below. This annual base management fee is split 50/50 between StadCo and the Stadium Authority since the Stadium Manager manages the stadium year-round for both ent ities. In addition to the base management fee, the Stad ium Manager also receives a stadium marketing and booking fee (incentive fee) wh ich is based on a percentage of the amount that the net income from Non-NFL Events exceeds the marketing and booking fee benchmark. The marketing and booking fee benchm ark was $5 million in the first lease year and also increases by 3% annually as detailed in the table below. The annual stadium management fee for each of the first ten lease years are noted in Table 19 below.
