SUMMARY EXPLANATION
The Public Facilities District Commissioners and Management of the Yakima Center have
identified a need to create a hospitality hub and "campus" for the region around the
Center, in conjunction with the Downtown Futures Plan. This would provide a major
attraction at the entrance to Yakima's downtown, and enhance the ambiance of the area to
assist in marketing the convention center At their September 20, 2005 meeting, City
Council approved the submittal of a grant application to the Yakima County SIED board in
the amount of $25,000 to be used to commission preliminary engineering design and cost
estimates for the creation of a campus facility to the east of the Convention Center This
grant application was approved as submitted, and therefore, an appropriation is needed to
begin this study

Related to this study is a desire to create a graphic rendering of all projects in the
downtown from Front Street to the freeway, estimated to cost $8,000 This would include
pull out sections for each project and area, and is anticipated to be an invaluable tool for
selling the Convention Center and Yakima. This is proposed to include promotion sheets,
PowerPoint presentations, Web promotions and personal presentations, so the Downtown
Futures project can be visualized by prospective visitors /conventioneers
The Public Facilities District Commissioners approved a transfer of up to $20,500 to assist
in these efforts When added to the SIED grant of $25,000, there is $45,500 available for
these professional service projects The attached appropriation would provide for both the
engineering and graphic presentation projects, for a total addition of $33,000 in the
Convention Center Capital Fund. (This leaves a contingency amount pledged by the PFD
of $12,500) It is anticipated that these projects are included in the scope of the existing
planning contract for the Downtown Futures Plan, therefore, a separate contract is not
being proposed for Council consideration at this time
