SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2010 Detailed Operating Budget for the Five Flags Center
®AT May 12, 2009
Leisure Services Manager Gil Spence recommends City Council approval of the Fiscal
Year 2010 Five Flags Center proposed operating budget submitted by SMG.
The property tax support is projected at $781,882, the previous year's benchmark.
This budget projects that the proposed ice arena will be open in December and the
youth hockey association will move to the arena at that time. The Dubuque
Thunderbirds have indicated they will remain at Five Flags. If the Thunderbirds would
move to the new arena or if a USHL team moves to the new arena, a decision would
need to be made if the ice rink would remain at Five Flags.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Re: Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget and Annual Plan
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Atfiached you will find the proposed Fiscal Year 2010 operating budget for the Five Flags Center.
Contractually, the annual increase in Five Flags operating budget is tied to the CPI-U, which at the
present time reflects a negative increase. Therefore, management has designed this budget to
maintain a static Net Operating Loss which remains at the previous year's benchmark of ($781,882).
Additionally, the agreement between SMG and the City of Dubuque for the management of Five
Flags Center calls for the submission of an Annual Plan. This plan is detailed herein.
Page 1
FY 2010 ®PE TIN U®ET
SMG's goal in the presentation of the accompanying document is to present a realistic operating
budget based on external variables which present significant economic uncertainties relative to the
operation of Five Flags. Specifically, the non-profit organization known as the ®ubuque Cont-nunity
ice Recreation Center, future home to ®ubuque Youth FiocireyAssociation, will not be
available for use until December, 2009. As a result, the youth hockey association has verbally
contracted with Five Flags to provide ice rentals for the three months of September, October, and
November, 2009. Additionally, the ®ubuque Thunderbirds have verbally indicated they wish to
remain based out of Five Flags Center rather than move their operation to the new facility. Contract
negotiations have been initiated -but not finalized -and budget projections have included a full
season of anticipated revenues and expenses.
In preparation of this budget, SMG has considered local market, economic, and industry conditions.
Management has reviewed annually recurring events, compared quantitative trends, and has
detected a decrease in current year's ticket sales -whether local events, regional acts, or national
touring companies. Therefore, economic issues coupled with the uncertainty of the ice project in the
upcoming fiscal year, we present our budget based on a static subsidy with emphasis on cutting
operating costs. SMG will endeavor to pursue creative avenues to maximize utilization and revenue
generation opportunities for Five Flags. However, management anticipates a very challenging year
ahead.
FY 2010 SING ANAL NT PLAN F®R THE MANAGEIVIENT AN® ®PE TIN F
THE FIVE FLAGS CENTER
Management is appreciative of the support demonstrated by the City of Dubuque and honored to be
awarded afive-year extension of our management contract beginning July 1, 2009. Facility
personnel are entering their sixth year of operation under a private management firm and understand
and respect the fiduciary responsibility dictated by our management agreement. While 2010 will
present both challenges and opportunities for the Center, staff will optimistically approach the new
year. Overall objectives for the Fiscal Year 2010 are to:
® Request a review of contractual constraints and guidelines limiting business development
® Increase F & B and Box Office revenue through purchase and implementation of credit and
gift card equipment
® Broaden promoter base to increase concert and theatre performances
® Develop additional community partnerships regarding promotion and signage opportunities
® Continue effort to maximize revenue and reduce overhead operating expenses.
® Continue effort to provide a balance of event programming to benefit all facility users
SMG will continue to cultivate relationships and work with local, regional and national event
promoters to host a broad spectrum of live entertainment event activity at the center including touring
attractions, family performances and special event activity.
Key to building on these relationships will be measured by the success of the events during Fiscal
Year 2010 -specifically, successes achieved through focusing on customer service, increased
marketing efforts through greater utilization of social networks, and the tenacious development of a
broader promoter base. SMG staff will also continue to work with Thunderbirds staff to explore
Page 2
opportunities for enhancing mutual revenue opportunities throughout the hockey season ®as both
anchor tenant and facility realized through hosting Hurster Cup play in 2008 and 2009.
Management is pleased with both quantity and quality of event activity in Fiscal Year 2009.
Broadway performances returned to the Historic Five Flags Theatre with productions of Irving Beriin's
"1 Love A Piano", featuring a New York cast and "Nunsense'; starring Sally Struthers. The
international touring companies of Gaelic Storm and Echoes of Ireland provided high quality
entertainment in the months of March and May, respectively. Additional Theatre performances
included a very successful Flv-ev--Night and DSO season, Jim McDonough's Holiday Grande and
spring musicals presented by Wahlert and Hempstead High Schools. In conjunction with the fourth
annual Dubuque Winter Jazz and Blues Festival, SMG partnered with Dubuque Art's Council to
sponsor 4 Guyz in Dinner Jackets. Leo Kottke/Leon Redbone entertained a certain demographic
and comedy returned to the theatre with the Bob and Tom Comedy Show.
Arena concert performances included Willie Nelson and Family, Puddle of Mudd, and a
Buckcheny/Papa Roach date. Family shows included four nationally touring shows; Sesame Street,
Playhouse Disney Live, Lipizzaner Stallions, and the Harlem Globetrotters, who made a return visit
this year. Extreme sporting events included Mixed Martial Arts, AMP Live Monster Trucks, and
WWE. Championship Bullriding and Corncob National Wrestling Tournament are annual arena
sporting events.
In conjunction with the Dubuque Regional Sports Commission, SMG submitted a bid to host the
Central States Hockey League playoffs in March, 2009. Dubuque won its second consecutive bid to
host teams representing Iowa, Missouri, ®hio and Michigan and featured seven additional hockey
games in a four-day period. The Hurster Cup playoffs represented the second time since the mid-
eightiesthat Dubuque had hosted apost-season hockey tournament.
Dubuque Thunderbirds experienced a very successful "second season" as a Junior "A" hockey club
by successfully defending the Hurster Cup and finishing third at Nationals. A winning season has a
direct correlation to concession sales and the Food and Beverage Department recognized excellent
CAPs for Thunderbird games. SMG expects the Thunderbirds to have 24 home games in 2010 and
would consider the possibility of hosting another post-season playoff if deemed feasible.
The Public Skate program has grown significantly over the last five years from as few as12 Public
Skate dates offered in 2006 to double that amount in 2008 and 2009. The increase in revenue is
directly correlated to the efforts of the staff to create an "event" around Public Skate which includes
lights, music, and theme skates. Staff has also designed private party opportunities and will continue
marketing those opportunities prior to next ice season. A five-year quantitative comparison is
depicted below:

Other community events hosted during the year included Extreme Dance and Irish Feis. Senior and
Hempstead High Schools annually hold graduation ceremonies at Five Flags in additional to other
school activity including variety shows, a vocal chorale, and musicals. Regional and state events and
conferences held at Five Flags included Iowa Winter Games, Illinois and Iowa Special Olympics.
About SMG
SMG, the world leader in venue management, marketing and development, was founded in 1977
with the management of our first facility, the Louisiana Superdome. We soon grew to manage
convention centers, exhibition halls and trade centers, arenas, stadiums, performing a
centers, theaters, and specific-use venues such as equestrian centers. SMG's clients benefit
from the company's depth of resources and its unparalleled expertise, leadership, and creative
problem-solving. Our successful growth has been built on the many partnerships, relationships, and
resources we have developed with our clients -both municipal and private. This unique
combination of resources, relationships, and expertise has allowed SMG to define and refine the
industry throughout its history.
e4NTICIPATE® EVENT ACTIVITY

erati®ns:
The function of the Operations Department is to maintain building equipment, perform repairs to the
facilities, complete necessary set-ups and conversions for events and keep the Five Flags Center
clean and well maintained.
SMG will continue to take the necessary preventative steps to ensure that the long-term maintenance
goals of the Operations Department include maximization of the life cycle of its facility assets. Asset
maintenance includes but is not limited to:
® Test running the emergency generator on a monthly basis.
® Rolling equipment maintenance -check operations, top off fluids, check brakes, check for
leaks, check tires, repair as needed. This equipment include: forklift, bobcat, scrubbers,
sweepers, and Zamboni.
® Maintain all electrical supply panels, wiring and receptacles.
® Plumbing maintenance and repair.
® Lighting maintenance and repair.
• Fire extinguisher upkeep and maintenance -visual monthly inspection, re-charging,
recertification and maintenance of fire cabinets.
® Janitorial equipment maintenance and repair including: leaf blowers, vacuums, power
washers, extractors, etc.
® Miscellaneous equipment maintenance including:
® Refrigerators
® Ice makers
® Doors, locks and panic devices
® Toilets
® Roll-up doors
® Elevator
Additional maintenance monitoring systems for which the staff has budgeted include upgrading
obsolete software by two levels which will allow the purchase and installation of a Remote Notifcation
Option. The software, Insight Advanced Workstation, transforms a personal computer into a
powerful APPOGEE workstation and provides a graphical approach to manage and control a building
from an easy-to-use interface.
SMG staff has created and maintained a Safety Committee to monitor and evaluate potential safety
hazards throughout the building as well as developing new ideas aimed at keeping Five Flags Center
a safe environment for employees and guests. The Committee is comprised of Senior Managers
and the General Manager who meet on a monthly basis to discuss safety issues and to assign the
responsibility to rectify the recognized deficiency. The facility's Exposure Control Plan, which
addresses safe practices relative to blood borne pathogens, was updated and staff training sessions
are slated for the summer.
In April, 2008, Zurich Services Corporation conducted a site assessment to review SMG's accident
and injury prevention program. Findings of the report were addressed by members of the Safety
Committee and appropriate Department Heads implemented recommendations.
Page 5
Event anaernent:
To provide a range of services to Five Flags Center's clients and to ensure the successful completion
of their events, SMG utilizes atwo-prong system which includes an Event Manager to handle "front-
of-house" needs and a Technical Director to handle "back-of-house" needs. In an effort to provide
feedback and improve our services, SMG queries promoter representatives and show management
officials to detail their experiences and suggestions for improvements.
Staffing/Security
Ushers, Ticket Takers, and Event Security personnel are employed by SMG as in-house, part-time
workers. This allows SMG to have better control of the staff, improves customer service standards,
and reduces costs.
SMG utilizes the services of the City of Dubuque's Fire Department as well as private companies to
provide medical services at events. SMG also works with off-duty local law enforcement authorities
to provide a safe and secure environment for patrons attending our events.
In addition, SMG has in place a comprehensive Emergency Evacuation Plan that has been updated
and reviewed by Dubuque's Fire Marshal to better serve the needs of the facility and to implement
the most current strategies to ensure the safety of the facility's guests.
Training
At the beginning of the 2009 hockey season, SMG will conduct an Emergency Evacuation Drill to
trains all event personnel on emergency procedures. Every other year, SMG conducts a Customer
Service Training program for full-time and part-time personnel. K'nekt, SMG's customized training
program, is utilized in SMG managed facilities around the country and is designed to ensure our staff
is performing to the highest quality standards. Staff is apprised of the most up-to-date information
available regarding the customer service industry. Training remains ongoing and is included as
budgetary constraints allow.
By investing in our employees through continuing education and development, they are better able to
maximize the potential of the facility -thereby better serving the city, the community, and the patron.
SMG personnel attending and receiving educational programming included: Bob Richardson took
~.
coursework in Ice Making and Painting Technologies while attending STAR in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Sales and Marketing ffo
SMG has established a $30,000 marketing fund which shall be used by SMG to attract
events to Five Flags Center and/or offer a cushion to the operating budget should an event result in a
signifcant loss to the building. Also, through trade agreements and promotional relationships with a
growing number of media outlets, the Five Flags Center is able to market itself and specific events
with minimal expenditure of departmental budget dollars. Implementation and utilization of social
networking mediums such as Facebook and MySpace has produced good results for specific events.
Having identified the various sales opportunities for the Five Flags Center and created the
necessary collateral, the department has made contacts in the community to secure sales of venue
signage and develop mutually beneficial sponsorship opportunities. While personal relationships are
the main and most effective points of contact, management has not fully capitalized on partnership
opportunities due to lack of personnel coupled with an economic downturn that has tightened, if not
choked, the opportunities for signage sales. Management is considering outsourcing this
responsibility to an independent contractor for an agreed upon sales commission.
Event specific promotion and advertising is typically executed by event promoters for
nationally recognized shows. However, management has successfully implemented an effective
grassroots marketing system incorporating a-mail blasts and Mail Manager - a supplemental
Ticketmaster software program designed to target a previous "event specific" ticket purchasers.
Management also designed a group sales program, established a system to deliver show posters
locally and regionally, and re-examined broader print media opportunities as related to monthly and
weekly tabloids. Management has also explored and utilized billboard advertising.
A website (www.fiveflagscenter.com) was launched in June of 2005 including an a-mail
database and event newsletter for those interested in receiving Five Flags Center event activity via
email. The website, built and hosted by Parks Media Group, provides visitors with information on the
facility, tickets, events and more. Website updates will be implemented this summer by in-house
personnel. Staff has also created a quarterly events brochure and identified local distribution outlets.
Seizing upon opportunities to heighten awareness of Five Flags upcoming events within the
local business community and citizenry, staff participates in Chamber events including "Toot Your
Own Horn"tradeshow as well as Dubuque Main Street "Business PM" Assessing requests and
providing complimentary event tickets for various local fundraisers are also practices Five Flags
utilizes in order to promote events. Visibility of Five Flags is also achieved by staff participation in
local civic organizations such as Dubuque Jaycees and Rotary Club of Dubuque and organizations
designed to promote the arts including Dubuquefest.
Accounting and Box ®ffice:
The Accounting Department is responsible for Human Resources, Payroll, Purchasing, Box
Office Operations, Accounts Payables, Accounts Receivables, Financial Reporting, Event
Settlements and Budget Administration. In Fiscal Year 2006 SMG added the position of Box Office
Manager to the payroll to handle all of Box Office duties as well as to assist the Senior Accounting
Manager with assorted accounting responsibilities. In 2007, management assigned payroll and
accounts payable responsibilities to the job description of the Box Office Manager, furthering a
division of duties. In 2008/09, the broadening of the responsibilities has rendered good results.
Page 7
SMG implemented the use of ticket scanners throughout the facility in the summer of 2006.
This system expedited the process of checking tickets and processing patrons at the entrances. The
Ticket Master Access Manager System that is used in conjunction with the scanners and Ticket
Master's Mail Manager software are two very powerful tools that have assisted Management in
making on the spot operational decisions as well as to generate detailed reports for clients relative to
marketing efforts.
For the convenience of the Center's guests, management successfully negotiated a lease
agreement to provide an ATM machine in late 2006. Cash availability is a standard customer
convenience that increases ticket sales and generates stronger concessions revenues.
Management is currently exploring opportunities to upgrade the ATM as well as provide the ability to
make concession purchases utilizing a cash or credit card.
Concessions:
Five Flags has just completed its fourth year of operations with the newly renovated and
expanded concessions facilities. Attractive menu signage was not included in the renovation phase;
therefore, management budgeted, purchased, and installed new menu signage in September, 2008.
The Center has seen marked improvement in revenue-based performance due to an expanded
menu and implementation of tightened internal controls. SMG expects this trend to continue as we
look to expand and refine the choices available to our guests.
The concessions department, in conjunction with the operations department, experimented
with a number of portable stands this past year -taking into consideration portable signage, location,
and efficient movement of patron and product. CAPS and total sales responded to the logistical
decisions. Last year's debut of "The Thunderdog" at Thunderbird games appears to have become a
"staple" and has remained on the menu this year.
Concessions are a major source of revenue for the facility and must operate not only to
provide high quality products and services to our guests, but must return a substantial margin of profit
to the overall bottom line for the complex.
