COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR BY THE PUBLIC

Aleta Dupree expressed appreciation for the telephonic format of the meeting, the brevity of the reports provided, and the progress of the Convention Center District expansion and The Boring Company transportation project. Ms. Dupree expressed support of the LVCVA’s acquisition of the Las Vegas Monorail, referencing the attached letter to the LVCVA. Ms. Dupree described the transportation systems of other cities, emphasized the importance of the implementation of safe travel measures and expressed support of a high-speed train system.

Ed Uehling expressed concerns regarding the return of Chinese tourists to Las Vegas, discussed the airport’s discontinued use of the WeChat app, and emphasized the importance of Chinese visitors to Las Vegas. Mr. Uehling suggested the LVCVA “take a position” on attracting Chinese visitors to Las Vegas.

Ms. Bateman advised the Board of written public comment submissions received. Ms. Bateman read the following public comment submission received by Mr. Phil Jaynes into the record as follows: “Good morning, my name is Phil Jaynes and I’m the President of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 720. I’m sure that the Board is already aware of the film and broadcast TV work that is going on in town. But for those that don’t know, “Shark Tank” is in the middle of a 9-week production in the Sands Convention Center. “The Stand” is shooting around town and “Love Island” has been shooting at the Cromwell since mid- June. If you guys haven’t already thought about it, I think it would be a great idea to reach out to the Nevada Film Office and let them know that the Las Vegas Convention Center would be a great space to use as a sound studio for film and television productions. With shows canceling left and right this might be a great opportunity to use the space for something other than its intended use. With the amount of space available, the height of the halls, the available work force and Las Vegas’ climate you might be able to snag a film or television producer that is still unable to shoot in California. Thank you for your time, Phil Jaynes.” Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors August 11, 2020 Minutes Page 4 of 5

Ms. Bateman advised the Board that the second written public comment came from Mr. Daniel Braisted, and read it into the record as follows: “Dear Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Dr. Stephen Covey in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Leaders" talks about the "Emotional Bank Account" where people add and subtract their experiences, conscious experiences and subconscious experiences, with others, with media, with cities, with management, with resorts, etc. No one would ever say I am not going to Las Vegas because some vinyl is peeling from highways signs. I present they will not give us a 10 plus because of the subtle signs of the City, County, and State not caring at higher level. Asking that LVCVA evaluate this thought. Pictures sent under separate emails. Thank you, Daniel Braisted.” Ms. Bateman informed the Board that the pictures submitted by Mr. Braisted, along with his public comment, would be included in the minutes for this meeting.

Ms. Bateman stated that the next public comment was co-submitted by Molly Taylor and Roxann McCoy, and there were three other submissions that were either identical or substantially similar in nature to that of Ms. Taylor & Ms. McCoy, and all will be included in the official minutes for this meeting. The three other submission were received from Retha Randolph, Erica Wirthlin, and Michelle Miller.

Ms. Bateman proceeded to read Ms. Taylor and Ms. McCoy’s comments for three minutes pursuant to Nevada Open Meeting Law as follows: “LVCVA Board Members, we are inquiring on the Board’s decision regarding City Councilwoman Michele Fiore and her current position on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Board. We have previously requested that she be removed from the Board and would like an update to that request. Our data indicates 249 email letters have been sent to Silvia Perez c/o LVCVA, and 121 emails sent to Commissioner Larry Brown and Mayor Goodman requesting her removal. We are now formally asking for your response to the public request for her removal. Since our first request in July, Ms. Fiore has continued with her embarrassing, flippant, and alleged illegal behavior. She was served a lawsuit by the Protectors of Floyd Lamb at Tule Springs on August 5, 2020 regarding her actions in developing the park. A Federal Election Commission complaint has been filed against Fiore, alleging she used city resources to campaign for President Trump in June of 2020. Additionally, a complaint is being prepared alleging Ms. Fiore has violated First Amendment rights of her constituents by blocking dozens on social media. Ms. Fiore is not the image we want representing Las Vegas. She has proved herself to be extremely controversial, disrespectful, and has a lack of remorse for her racist comments that serve to divide our community instead of bringing us together. Those attitudes and actions cannot be projected on the world stage. Included at the end of this letter, please see the well-documented and detailed list, in chronological order, of City Councilwoman Michele Fiore's comments, actions, etc. that prove her unfit for any public office or representation of Las Vegas. (Please note “Michele Fiore” has been abbreviated to MF throughout the list.) What more needs to be done or said for it to be clear that Ms. Fiore is not fit to serve as a board member representing the LVCVA? As previously, and continually requested, we demand that the LVCVA Board move forward in removing Councilwoman Michele Fiore. In response to the Governor’s directive regarding gatherings we will not be protesting the August 11, 2020 Board Meeting. Under no circumstances should this Board perceive this as us backing down, we are prepared to continually push the Board to act on our demands regarding Ms. Fiore. Given the climate of our country and more importantly our city, the time to act is now. We can no longer sit back and allow individuals like Michele Fiore, who seek to divide and dismantle the harmony of our community and state, to represent our city or our community interests. Respectfully, Roxann McCoy, President, Las Vegas NAACP; Molly Taylor, Organizer, ExpelMichele. The following list is posted individually.” Ms. Bateman acknowledged the three-minute maximum had been reached, and the public comment, in its entirety, would be included in the official minutes for this meeting.

Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors August 11, 2020 Minutes Page 5 of 5

Ms. Bateman advised the Board there was one more written public comment submission received and read it into the record as follows: “Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority,197 people have signed a petition on Action Network telling you to Demand LVCVA Support Working Families. Here is the petition they signed: This school year Clark County students will attend classes from a remote location. Countless workers now face a critical choice between caring for their children or earning a living. People should not be forced to place their children in vulnerable situations simply because they must work. Families should not see decimated income due to costs of childcare, internet access, and technology. This potentially catastrophic situation will have far- reaching consequences for Clark County's working families. Government has a responsibility to ensure all children have access to safe and equitable resources in order to attend school remotely while households return to work. Given the composition of this agency, its resources, and wide-ranging influence, the LVCVA should support and assist Clark County’s workforce by facilitating or implementing the following: Flexible schedules for workers with children of school age, enhanced and expanded on-site childcare options for workers, funding for community-based childcare and recreation centers, subsidies for providing students with technology and internet access. We call on LVCVA’s Board of Directors to assist stakeholders in the current crisis facing Clark County workers by immediately partnering with the school district, gaming, hospitality, and others to ensure the workforce is supported and its children safely and equitably educated. You can view each petition signer and the comments they left you below. Thank you, Las Vegas DSA.” Ms. Bateman advised the Board that the list of the 197 co-signors to the petition will be included in the official meeting minutes.

TO:Ms. Silvia Perez, Exec. Asst. LVCVA Board

RE: Statement to be read to the LVCVA Board - meeting, 8/11/20 during the "Public Comments" due to Virus Restrictions.

Good morning to Mr. Larry Brown, Chairman of the Board and Mr. Steve Hill, President of the LVCVA. My name is Jon Astor-White, President/CEO, Las Vegas Entertainment and Sports Television, Inc. (LVES-TV). To pick-up where we left-off after my in-person meeting with the in-coming LVCVA president Steve Hill and out-going president Rossi Ralenkotter around, August 8, 2018; after I dismissed my April 6, 2017, "Racial Discrimination" and "Breach Of Contract" lawsuit against the LVCVA, Rossi Ralenkotter, R&R Partners, Rob Dondero and others, I dismissed in, June 2018. I last spoke with President Steve Hill during the August 9, 2018, LVCVA Board meeting, when he asked me "What I wanted him to do" I responded, "I will let you know by E-Mail". It has taken until now! This is the most perfect time, to respond with the much needed marketing vehicle, to resuscitate Las Vegas, and to promote the Hotels and casinos, 24/7, 365 days a year worldwide over Las Vegas' own LVES-TV Network and just as important, to employ hundreds of people and to showcase each week many of our events and stars. Again, please be hereby, advised as follows;

We are poised to launch the first, 24/7, 365 days a year, television network, for and from, Las Vegas, to broadcast over 75 percent original and LIVE "Entertainment and Sports", worldwide by satellite, beginning mid-November 2020, with our star-studded " Hall Of Fame Weekend" featuring the "Vegas Star Awards". For those who are not familiar with my background; Co-founder of the musical group 'Earth, Wind & Fire", co-creator of the "Peoples Choice Awards", Executive producer of the first televised NAACP "Image Awards" and I have served on our local NAACP, Executive and Legal Redress Committees for the last twelve years. Lastly! On June 4, 2020, we sent our overview to the Governor, Attorney General, Mayor Goodman, Steve Hill, Billy Vassiliadis and Scott DeAngelo-Allegiant Air. Next we will be forwarding our written proposal to the LVCVA, R&R Partners and Allegiant Air; our on-going sponsorship and marketing proposal. Thank you, for your time and consideration.

From: aleta dupree To: Silvia Perez Subject: Public Comment for 11 August, 2020 Date: Monday, August 10, 2020 2:47:47 PM

Silvia, with thanks, please forward this message to the full LVCVA Board for the Regular Meeting of 11 August, 2020.

Greetings Board Chair Larry Brown and Members.

Aleta Dupree for the record. (she, her).

Today I bring to you my various thoughts concerning the work of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

Things are moving quickly, even in this crisis. The Allegiant Stadium has reached substantial completion, on time, and within budget. Continue to report on the progress of the Las Vegas Convention Center Expansion, Phase II, and the underground transportation system being constructed by The Boring Company.

It is essential to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. I stand in full support of the idea of LVCVA purchasing the Las Vegas Monorail. The LVCVA is not just about a campus located on Paradise Road, but about connectivity to the larger community. I have used the Monorail since it’s inception, and I feel it is a system with great potential that has not yet been realized.

Traffic congestion has a problematic history in the Resort Corridor, and congestion will surely return if not mitigated. RTC buses are important, but they are helpless in a Strip roadway clogged with individually occupied automobiles. And RTC buses have gotten packed, even to the point where I have seen them unable to take on any more passengers.

The acquisition of the Monorail will bring that system under public oversight, as the LVCVA, as you know holds these Meetings, where people such as myself can render Public Comment under the State Open Meetings Law. I look forward to having a voice in the operation of that System through the Public Comment process.

RTC, and NDOT, are indeed important, the safe and efficient movement of people and goods are indeed necessary to the success of our Campus, and marketing our community to the world.

Marketing should be about relationships. While I do like the idea of advertising in Times Square on large electronic signs, the continued relationships can be built more so through repeated contact from advertising in places such as buses, the New York City Subway, and Grand Central Terminal.

It is important that this Agency continue to let the world know that we are here, and ready to welcome Visitors, and to promote that all important idea of safe visitation. Because I want people to come back here, and safety is the most essential part of that. Las Vegas is a brand that must be protected to the utmost, so people will come back, hopefully over and over again.

Even in this pandemic, investment in the future is absolutely necessary. To move forward with Phase III, the Convention Center renovation project, solar panels, energy storage, all electric facilities, and most of all state of good repair. This is the time we can do as much work as possible, to be ready for when we can fill our campus with visitors once again.

Lastly, we must remember the community, both within Southern Nevada, and beyond, is indeed diverse. Everyone who sets foot on the soil of Southern Nevada should feel that this campus, and this community, indeed belongs to them.

Thank you. From: Phil Jaynes To: Silvia Perez Subject: Second Public Comment for August 10th Date: Monday, August 10, 2020 4:42:10 PM

Good morning,

My name is Phil Jaynes and I’m the President of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 720. I’m sure that the Board is already aware of the film and broadcast T.V. work that is going on in town. But for those that don’t know, “Shark Tank” is in the middle of a 9 week production in the Sands Convention Center. “The Stand” is shooting around town and “Love Island” has been shooting at the Cromwell since Mid-June. If you guys haven’t already thought about it, I think it would be a great idea to reach out to the Nevada Film Office and let them know that the Las Vegas Convention Center would be a great space to use as a sound studio for film and television productions. With shows cancelling left and right this might be a great opportunity to use the space for something other then it’s intended use. With the amount of space available, the height of the halls, the available work force and Las Vegas’ climate you might be able to snag a film or television producer that is still unable to shoot in California.

Dear Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority:

Dr Stephen Covey in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Leaders" Talks about the "Emotional Bank Account" where people add and subtract their experiences, conscious experiences and subconscious experiences, with others, with media, with cities, with management, with resorts, etc No one would ever say I am not going to Las Vegas because some vinyl is peeling from highways signs... I present that they will not give us a 10 plus because of the subtle signs of the City, County, and State not caring at higher level.

Asking that LVCVA evaluate this thought

Pictures sent under separate emails

Thank You

Daniel Braisted Resident There are ugly signs all over the valley: Exit 40 sign on I-15 to Sahara, many exit signs on west beltway hurting, road informational signs US 95 from Rampart to Spaghetti Bowl.

There are signs (as above, with black vinyl lettering on them that is peeling,. (Possibly a cheaper brand of black vinyl)

Red NO Parking Signs, that are useless because the red paint is so faded (red has a low wave length, so sun kills the red anything).

There are traffic poles (Russell & Las Vegas Blvd) (Nellis and Sahara/Charleston Area, etc) and high tension poles (Harmon and Las Vegas Blvd, where the silver paint is disappearing, and the maroon primer is taking over. Maroon paint absorbs more sun light, than silver, (ages steel poles faster my opinion, looks cheap)

What would Steve Wynn say about the above? No 3 stars!

South Side Neonopolis See any problems here? Security? Management? Contractors? Dean? Students? Miscellaneous...?

Ms. Perez,

Good afternoon. Please find attached a letter from myself and Roxann McCoy, President of NAACP Las Vegas Chapter. We ask that our letter be read on August 11, 2020 during the LVCVA Board Meeting, under "Comments from the Floor by the Public" portion on the Agenda.

As this is extremely important to a lot of people, would you be so kind as to let me know you are in receipt of this email, and its attachments?

Thank you kindly,

Sent Via E-mail to Ms. Silvia Perez

LVCVA Board Members,

We are inquiring on the Board’s decision regarding City Councilwoman Michele Fiore and her current position on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Board. We have previously requested that she be removed from the board and would like an update to that request. Our data indicates 249 email letters have been sent to Silvia Perez c/o LVCVA, and 121 emails sent to Commissioner Larry Brown and Mayor Goodman requesting her removal. We are now formally asking for your response to the public request for her removal.

Since our first request in July, Ms. Fiore has continued with her embarrassing, flippant, and alleged illegal behavior. She was served a lawsuit by the Protectors of Floyd Lamb at Tule Springs on August 5, 2020 regarding her actions in developing the park. A Federal Election Commission complaint has been filed against Fiore, alleging she used city resources to campaign for President Trump in June of 2020. Additionally, a complaint is being prepared alleging Ms. Fiore has violated First Amendment rights of her constituents by blocking dozens on social media.

Ms. Fiore is not the image we want representing Las Vegas. She has proved herself to be extremely controversial, disrespectful, and has a lack of remorse for her racist comments that serve to divide our community instead of bringing us together. Those attitudes and actions cannot be projected on the world stage. Included at the end of this letter, please see the well-documented and detailed list, in chronological order, of City Councilwoman Michele Fiore's comments, actions, etc. that prove her unfit for any public office or representation of Las Vegas. (Please note “Michele Fiore” has been abbreviated to MF throughout the list.)

What more needs to be done or said for it to be clear that Ms. Fiore is not fit to serve as a board member representing the LVCVA?

As previously, and continually requested, we demand that the LVCVA Board move forward in removing Councilwoman Michele Fiore. In response to the Governors directive regarding gatherings we will not be protesting the August 11, 2020 Board Meeting. Under no circumstances should this board perceive this as us backing down,

Page Two August 10, 2020 NAACP/ExpelMichele

we are prepared to continually push the Board to act on our demands regarding Ms. Fiore. Given the climate of our country and more importantly our city, the time to act is now. We can no longer sit back and allow individuals like Michele Fiore, who seek to divide and dismantle the harmony of our community and state, to represent our city or our community interests.

Respectfully,

Roxann McCoy, President Las Vegas NAACP

From: Retha Randolph To: Silvia Perez Subject: Remove Michele Fiore from LVCVA"s board Date: Monday, August 10, 2020 10:38:10 PM

Dear Executive Assistant to the LVCVA Silvia Perez,

To the Board of Directors of the LVCVA:

I hereby demand the immediate resignation of Councilwoman Michele Fiore from the LVCVA Board. The LVCVA’s purpose is to invite the world, which encompasses all races and cultures, to Las Vegas. Councilwoman Fiore's recent comments, and actions, directly counteract the Boards sole purpose. Pursuant to LVCVA Board Policies, Article VI, Code of Conduct & Conflicts of Interest Policy, Policy 6.01(2), Councilwoman Fiore has demonstrated she is incapable of "ensuring fair and equitable treatment of all persons." As you know, a Board member may be removed if found in violation of the Code of Conduct as put forth in the Board Policies. I implore the Board to act on this violation with Ms. Fiore’s removal.

In a time of great divisiveness locally and nationally, it remains imperative that our community’s elected leadership attempt to bring our community together. Councilwoman Fiore’s recent statements demonstrate her intent to exacerbate the racial division within our community. Of equal significance, Councilwoman Fiore’s statements historically demonstrate that her recent remarks were not an anomaly, and her interest does not lie in promoting equality or unity, but instead, creating division. We are facing an unprecedented and turbulent economic future with Covid-19, which has impacted Las Vegas tremendously. We cannot allow Councilwoman Fiore to tarnish our city's good name with her divisive and harmful rhetoric.

I am asking Councilwoman Fiore to resign from the LVCVA Board to preserve this Board's reputation. Alternatively, I am asking for Councilwoman Fiore to be removed should she not choose to resign willfully. Our city heavily relies on tourists and the very last thing we need is a racist spreading her own personal message to the world and doing so while serving as a member of this Board.

Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority,

197 people have signed a petition on Action Network - Demand LVCVA Support Working Families.

You can view each petition signer and the comments they left you in the attached PDF. Here is the petition they signed:

This school year Clark County students will attend classes from a remote location. Countless workers now face a critical choice between caring for their children or earning a living. People should not be forced to place their children in vulnerable situations simply because they must work. Families should not see decimated income due to costs of childcare, internet access, and technology. This potentially catastrophic situation will have far-reaching consequences for Clark County's working families.

Government has a responsibility to ensure all children have access to safe and equitable resources in order to attend school remotely while households return to work. Given the composition of this agency, its resources, and wide ranging influence, the LVCVA should support and assist Clark County’s workforce by facilitating or implementing the following:

- Flexible schedules for workers with children of school age. - Enhanced and expanded on-site childcare options for workers. - Funding for community-based childcare and recreation centers. - Subsidies for providing students with technology and internet access.

We call on LVCVA’s Board of Directors to assist stakeholders in the current crisis facing Clark County workers by immediately partnering with the school district, gaming, hospitality, and others to ensure the workforce is supported and its children safely and equitably educated.

Please do whatever is necessary to keep our workforce and children safe in Las Vegas and the community. As a 100% Disabled American Veteran be I believe the State of Nevada can make necessary arrangements to help all those concerned. The Substitute Teachers are being put in a vicarious and dangerous situation. I cannot believe that our state which makes huge profiites from the sale of Cannabis fail to provide for the challenges our substitute, labor, and children face. Priorities need to be addressed. Any student without a computer or device to complete the process of getting an education should be able to obtain one because of the profits from the sale of Cannibis. This should include Substitute teachers and instructors as well. These Substitute teachers are vital but get shortchanged by a school administration which doesn't have to pay for health costs or the same pay scale even though many have qualifications that are necessary for our children to gain valuable education. Chidtren and workers need to be taken care of especially during this pandemic which may

PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

Deal Summary

The LVCVA will purchase the Monorail system, but not the corporate entity, to ensure that this important transportation system in the resort corridor, which is specifically important to conventions, continues to serve visitors to the destination. The acquisition of the Monorail system, as well as the transfer of rights and obligations in the Franchise Agreement to the LVCVA, will also allow open, competitive transportation options in the resort corridor by removing the non-compete area on the east side of the Strip.

The following transactions are intended to be executed as a package: 1. The LVCVA will buy the Monorail from the LVMC for a not to exceed amount of $24.26 million (see The Purchase Agreement section below). 2. Clark County will transfer to the LVCVA the rights and obligations contained in the Franchise Agreement and transfer $6.76 million of escrowed decommissioning funds of the Monorail to the LVCVA (see The County Agreement section below). 3. The LVCVA will transfer $24.4 million from the LVCCD Fund to the Capital Fund to close the transaction and will be reimbursed with bond proceeds and the County escrow (Board authorization requested in Agenda Item 2, see Capital Transfer section below). 4. The LVCVA will borrow $21.5 million (Board authorization requested in Agenda Item 3, see Bond Authorization section below).

The LVMC Board and Clark County Commission will have met and considered agreements to which they are parties prior to this meeting.

The Monorail

The Monorail is a seven-stop, 3.9-mile elevated transportation system along the east side of Strip with stations at MGM Grand, Bally’s/Paris, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah’s/The LINQ, the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Westgate and the Sahara. The Monorail is owned by the Las Vegas Monorail Company, a private, 501(c)(4) not-for-profit corporation granted franchise authority from the Clark County Commission to install and operate the system.

The Monorail has nine climate-controlled trains, each with four cars and a capacity of 224 persons per train that arrive at each station every 4 to 8 minutes in a normal operating environment. The Monorail has averaged 4.8 million annual riders over the past five calendar years (2015-2019).

The Monorail began operations in 2004. The Monorail’s current outstanding debt position of $20.5 million will be retired in the purchase transaction as further described below. The Monorail suspended operations March 18, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. DocuSign Envelope ID: F0A9C83F-AA3A-4AE2-8F90-4234F5FF0886

The County Agreement

Clark County will consent to the transfer of franchise rights and obligations as contained in the Franchise Agreement, currently held by the LVMC, to the LVCVA. Clark County will also disburse to the LVCVA approximately $6.76 million (final amount will include interest to the payment date) of escrowed funds held for the purpose of decommissioning the portion of the Monorail system that is in the public right-of-way. The LVCVA will be responsible for the future decommissioning of the portion of the Monorail system that is in the public right-of- way.

Capital Transfer

The initial acquisition will be accomplished by transferring $24,400,000 from the Las Vegas Convention Center District Capital Fund to the Capital Projects Fund. Board authorization for the transfer and budget augmentation is requested in Agenda Item 2 on this meeting agenda.

The acquisition costs are intended to be funded primarily through a medium-term bond of $21.5 million, which will be used, along with the County escrow payment, to reimburse the Capital Projects Fund. Board authorization for the bond is requested in Agenda Item 3 on this meeting agenda.

Bankruptcy Court

The Board of the LVMC has approved the Purchase Agreement and upon the approval of the Purchase Agreement by the LVCVA, the LVMC will commence a proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. LVMC will file a motion pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to approve the Purchase Agreement. The payment under the Purchase Agreement will pay all secured creditors as well as the allowed claims of trade creditors of the LVMC. The Section 363 sale proceedings will include an auction, and another party could outbid the LVCVA.

Management and Operations

The LVCVA will contract for the management and operations of the Monorail after the closing of the Monorail purchase. This agreement will be presented to the Board for its consideration at a future meeting.

MEETING SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 ITEM NO. 2 DATE: TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS ED FINGER FROM: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER RESOLUTION TO AUGMENT FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUDGET AND SUBJECT: BUDGET TRANSFER

RECOMMENDATION That the Board of Directors consider: 1) Approval of the transfer of $24,400,000 from the Las Vegas Convention Center District (LVCCD) Capital Fund to the Capital Projects Fund; and 2) Approval of the proposed budget augmentation and the associated Resolution 2020-03 to augment the fiscal year (FY) 2021 Capital Projects Fund budget by $24,400,000.

For possible action.

FISCAL IMPACT

Budget Transfer In the LVCCD Fund, $24,400,000 of budget appropriation will transfer between the capital expenditure function and the other financing uses (transfers out) function. The transfer will be made from the LVCCD Capital Fund to the Capital Projects Fund. Total appropriation for the LVCCD Fund will remain unchanged at $227,933,043.

Augmentation The augmentation will increase budgeted resources (transfers in) of the Capital Projects Fund by $24,400,000, and expenditures (capital expenditure) by $24,400,000, increasing budgeted appropriations from $81,291,399 to $105,691,399.

STEVE HILL BOARD CEO/PRESIDENT ACTION:

PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND Budget Transfer: The LVCCD Capital Fund has $95 million of budgeted expenditures for Phase Three of the LVCCD project, which has been suspended. The $24,400,000 consists of pay-as-you-go transfers from the General Fund. These monies are not legally restricted Senate Bill 1 (SB1) revenues, and are available to be used in the Capital Projects Fund.

Page 2 Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Board of Directors Meeting Agenda Documentation Meeting Date: September 1, 2020 Subject: Resolution to Augment Fiscal Year 2021 Budget and Budget Transfer

NRS 354.598005 provides that budget appropriations may be transferred by staff between functions within a fund, if: 1) such a transfer does not increase the total appropriation for any fiscal year; 2) is not in conflict with other statutory provisions; 3) the governing body is advised of the action; 4) and the action is recorded in the official minutes of the meeting.

This agenda item approves the transfer of $24,400,000 from the LVCCD Capital Fund to the Capital Projects Fund, moving the budgeted appropriation in the LVCCD Capital Fund from the capital expenditure function to the other financing uses (transfers out) function. Total FY 2021 LVCCD Capital Fund appropriation remains unchanged at $227,933,043.

Augmentation: NRS 354.598005 also identifies the procedures and requirements for augmenting or amending a local government’s budget. There are two sources of funds that may be considered for augmentation: an opening fund balance that is larger than budgeted, or resources that are larger than originally budgeted.

The proposed Capital Projects Fund augmentation utilizes the transfer in from the LVCCD Capital Fund as resources available for augmentation. The $24,400,000 will be used to acquire the Las Vegas Monorail. After the approval of the augmentation resolution, the budgeted ending fund balance in the Capital Projects Fund will remain unchanged at $0.

STEVE HILL BOARD CEO/PRESIDENT ACTION:

PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND When the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) purchased what was known as the Landmark Hotel in 1993, four other properties were part of that purchase, one of which was the former City Laundry and Cleaners (CLC). In 2008, the soil around CLC was found to be contaminated with tetrachloroethylene, better known as PCE, a chemical utilized in the dry-cleaning process during decades of operation of the facility. In 2008, after the discovery of the PCE, the LVCVA notified the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) of the contamination. Since that time, through a process of employing accredited third parties for drilling and monitoring wells, the LVCVA has continually added additional wells and monitored the contamination plume to ascertain the size, scope, and movement of the PCE. The status of the contamination and results of the well monitoring and soil testing are required to be sent to NDEP on a quarterly basis. DocuSign Envelope ID: 53EFE41E-5270-4ECB-B04C-4AFF015CB4AA

As a result of PCE contamination migration, NDEP has mandated that the LVCVA implement a contamination containment and monitoring process. On August 13, 2019, the Board of Directors granted approval for the design and installation of an NDEP approved Soil and Groundwater Remediation System. This installation consists of two sites, one on the North Road and the other on the east side of the new west hall.

In addition to the two systems above, with the purchase of what was known as the Kischner property in 2018, the LVCVA inherited a remediation system for that property’s PCE contamination. With NDEP approval that remediation system was shut down at the time of the West Hall construction and is being relocated and reinstalled in proximity to the new hall.

The three remediation systems mentioned above require testing, monitoring, sampling, and maintenance until such time testing confirms contamination levels have consistently diminished allowing NDEP to authorize the decommissioning and shut down of the systems.

Based on the specifications provided by Engineering and the Facility Projects Department, the following bids were received:
