With four questions, volunteer survey teams were able to gamer some valuable information that will be used for the City's business retention, expansion and attraction efforts . The questions were: • How's business? • How do you think business will be in the next 12-24 months? • What do you like about doing business in Wheat Ridge? • How can business be made better? Eleven teams of 2-people conducted th e walk and visited over 200 businesses during a 2-hour time period on the l81h. Walks teams consisted of volunteers from City Council, city staff, Jefferson County Workforce Center, Wheat Ridge Business Association, Jeffco EDC, West Chamber, Business Resource Center, and the Wheat Ridge business community. The teams canvassed every part of the city including retail, service and industrial business sectors. Each team spent an average of 5-minutes with each business. After the survey was conducted, each team provided the business with a package of materials containing information on city, county, state and other programs. The advantage of this type of walk is that individual business owners and managers have the opportunity to meet face-to-face and convey information back to city staff who can then act on their behalf to ensure a prosperous business climate. Businesses also had the opportunity to ask to be contacted by city staff at a future time to discuss any particular issue(s) related to their business. The economic development manager will make the initial contact with these businesses and attempt to resolve any outstanding issues the business may have. If needed, additional city staff will be consulted to address any Jssues. Study Session Memo October 15.2012 A follow-up meeting was conducted or each survey team one week after their walks. All 22 surveyors spoke highly of the well-organized walk and how valuable it was for them to take part in the walk. All 22 reported they would participate again and would help recruit others to make the 2013 walk even larger in scale. The following report provides details on the responses to each of the interview questions. How is Business? The Wheat Ridge business community is strong. Well over three-quarters (88%) indicated that business is at least good or steady. Of those businesses that reported that business is poor. a variety of reasons were cited but generally related to a shift in consumer spending, a lack of customers, the general economy of the U.S. or the changes to 381h Avenue. How is Business by Type 1 =Good 2 =Steady 3 =Poor • Retail • Service • Industrial How is Business? •Good • Steady • Poor We then took the results and broke those numbers down by industry segment. The numbers show that on an average, all three sectors of business -retail, service and industrial -believe that business is relatively between good and steady. Study Session Memo October 15,2012 How Will Business Be In The Next 12-24 Months? 4% • Get Better • Stay the Same • Decline Next 12-24 Months -By Type 1 = Get Better 2 = Stay the Same 3 =Decline • Service • Industrial How will business be in the next 12-24 months? The Wheat Ridge Business Community is very optimistic with 75% believing that business will get better over the next year or two. Of those who predicted that business will decline, the reasons were the price of materials to manufacture their product and actions of the federal government. The reasons provided were an improvement in the economy, the upcoming winter season, housing starts, better planning, and even the upcoming local, state and national elections. When we evaluate the same question and break it down to industry segments, the numbers indicate that all three segments believe that business over the next 1-2 years will stay the same or get better. Study Session Memo October 15, 2012 Other 9% What Do You Like About WR? 11% What do you like about doing business in Wheat Ridge? When asked what they like about doing business in Wheat Ridge, most respondents (46%) indicated it was the location. Clients were able to find their business and the area they selected made it convenient for their business success. The second most common single response was the community of Wheat Ridge. They liked the small-town feeling of their family-oriented business. A sense of security and being able to provide personalized services to their clientele. Many live in Wheat Ridge and plan to stay in the area for an extended period of time. Their clientele was the third most-mentioned response. These respondents enjoyed coming to work because of the people they interact with on a daily basis. They report many customers are loyal and have been coming to their business and want to see the area thrive. Twenty percent of respondents listed more than one reason they liked doing business in Wheat Ridge. What can we do to improve business? The survey teams also asked each business if they had any specific business concems and how they felt the City of Wheat Ridge could assist them with those issues. Overall, most respondents had no comments and told the surveyors they had a general satisfaction with doing business in Wheat Ridge. Some of the responses received included the following: make owner of building shovel snow; put in more effort along 44th similar to what's occurring on 38t 11 ; taxes are too high; provide training for small business; good website; promote locally owned businesses: attract more business to 38th and continue the improvements; slow down traffic; ease construction height good relations with city and great place to do business; start a co-op; easy to start a business; Kipling traffic too much; need more north/south movements; get rid of all banner regulations: applied for new signage with WR2020 -good process; remove dead trees in front of my business; more festivals to bring people to WR; give bid credit to WR based businesses; and city management easy to work with.

ZOPPE' ITALIAN FAMILY CIRCUS-FINAL REPORT 2012 Performance Dates: August 18th, 19th August 22nd, 23nl, 24th August 25th, 26th Presented by: ~of Wheat~ge Location: Anderson Park 4355 Field Street Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 ZOPPE' ITALIAN FAMILY CIRCUS FINAL REPORT (page 1) HIGHLIGHTS J HISTORY: The Zoppe' Italian Family Circus has been entertaining audiences in the same grand tradition since it's humble beginnings in Venice, Italy in 1842. The seventh generation of Zoppe's arrived in Wheat Ridge, Colorado as the main attraction of the 43rd Annual Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival with much anticipation from the community and they did not let us down. The Zoppe' Family delighted audiences at 16 performances during their run in Wheat Ridge. The antics of Nino the Clown and Papino the Ringmaster never fail to keep the show fun in between the numerous acts featuring skilled circus artists performing with horses, canines and even chickens. The perch pole acts and aerial acts such as cloud swing, trapeze and the web were amazing to watch as artists performed 40 feet in the air. The star of the show was certainly Nineto (Nino's side kick) performed by 2 year old julien Zoppe'. The full highlights from tent set up to tent teardown and all the fun in between are captured in the photo highlights for a visual summary and full experience of this wonderful circus. The Italian Village included a piazza with a fountain and flowers. The wine tent offered deli sandwiches, wine, beer, water, sodas and cigars for sale. Wine tastings, ricotta cheese making demo and accordion music added to the ambiance of the wine tent. Vendors offered food and merchandise. EVENT SUMMARY DETAILS BUDGET: The proposed revenue for the circus event was $96,000.00 and the actual was $57,856.35 for a deficit of$39,298.42 in revenue. The expenses were proposed at $105,376.00 with the actual at $98,498.01 for a savings of $6.877.99 in this area. The proposed net was expected to be a loss of$9,376.00 and the actual net on the event was a loss of$40,641.21, which is a $32,420.43 variance from the expected. The overtime hours the city realized for staff working on the circus totaled $6,324.00. See budget breakdown for details of each category. ATTENDANCE: Attendance was exceptional for a first year event. General admission totals were 3505 guests. VIP totals were 480 guests. Sponsor attendees and donated tickets added approximately 60 more GA attendees and 30 more VIP attendees. Overall attendance was + J-4075, which is just over 50% of sellout. Plenty of room for growth and this number at minimum can be expected for the second year given the positive audience responses. VOLUNTEERS: Volunteer sign up was minimal for circus performances (only 12-15 actually showed) but Get Connected Events secured three interns who worked a total of 225 hours collectively to help cover all the duties needed to produce 16 performances. Sons of Italy Lodge 2075 (one of the in-kind sponsors) provided 30 volunteers to cover the bar hours in the wine tent. Western Distributing provided staff to do the wine tasting. jackie Ribideau volunteered to do the ricotta cheese demo. GCE attended every performance covering some of the volunteer duties and also solicited friends and family to help cover some time slots. Some city employees and Carnation Festival Co-chair Margie Seyfer and her family also helped cover some volunteer hours. Contract labor was brought in to handle cash management. The Carnation Festival paid for the cash management labor for the bar and the city covered the cash management labor for the ticket box office. Contract labor came in under budget due to the efforts of the sponsor, volunteers and interns. ZOPPE' ITALIAN FAMILY CIRCUS FINAL REPORT (page 2) SPONSORS: Monetary sponsors included Bellco, Comcast, Right Coast Pizza, Caruso's Kitchen Designs, Mucilli's Shoes, Dairy Queen, Pietra's, Hank's Auto Body and Loretta DiTirro. In-kind (budget relieving) sponsors included Heidi's Brooklyn Deli, Sons of Italy Lodge 2075, Swiss Cottage & Gift Shoppe, Amato's of Denver, Promenade Stables, Elliott's Gardens, Event Fencing Solutions, Pepsi and Western Distributing. Get Connected Events secured a total of $12,324.50 of in-kind sponsorship and sold $20,720.00 in cash sponsorship, field trips, vendor sales and group sales. In additional, the Carnation Festival secured $2,500 cash sponsorship from Comcast. MARKETING I MEDIA I COLLATERAL: The marketing budget was minimal requiring a grass roots approach be taken by Get Connected Events to promote the circus event. See attached copies of actual pieces. The marketing plan included: • Handed out circus bucks at three Outlaws games at Sports Authority Field. • Created a program with Jeffco Schools getting circus bucks distributed to 15,000+ students. • Negotiated with Andiamo newspaper for free editorial to include a cover story and event program to reach outside the local community. • Negotiated discount pricing to get ads in Andiamo and Automezzi to get exposure in the Italian community. • Sold advertising to pay for the cost of the circus bucks and ticket printing. • Numerous articles in local newspapers including discount coupons. Partners include Wheat Ridge Transcript, Arvada Press, Wheat Ridge Connections and the Neighborhood Gazette. • Attended numerous networking functions to promote the circus. • Attended numerous other events and festivals to gorilla market the circus. • 100 Circus posters were distributed locally with Carnation Festival posters to promote performance times. • Overall, nearly 60,000 circus bucks were distributed and they were redeemed in high numbers. • Webpage and Facebook page was created for the Zoppe' Circus in Colorado. • Zoppe' Circus and the Carnation Festival was featured on the GCE website. • The Carnation Festival did a great job of featuring the circus on their website. IN CONCLUSION: The Zoppe' Family Circus was well received by the community and visitors proving to be a positive addition to the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival. With some minimal adjustments to the marketing and logistics plans, I am confident the event can grow in the next two years to a profitable self-funded attraction. Thank you for the opportunity to produce the Zoppe' Circus event in Wheat Ridge. Every city contact I worked with was professional, helpful and very supportive of the circus and its success. Very refreshing and much appreciated!

Old-Fashioned European Circus Joins Carnation Festival The traditional Zoppe' Italian F~ Circus is coming to the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival this August, boasting acrobats, clowns, horses, dog acts, and a history dating back to the 19th century. In addition to the circus, this year's festival will feature an Italian Village replete with wine tasting, authentic food, crafts and wares by Italian vendors. Many Italian organizations will share their culture's language, travel and games as well. Early risers can watch Zoppes staff raise its 63-foot tall tent on Friday morning, Aug. 17, in Anderson Park, located at 4355 FJ.dd St.; the tent seats up to 800 people and is designed so that no audience member is further than 20 feet from the performance ring. The Carnation Festival and Italian Village open that afternoon at 4:00 p.m., followed by fireworks at 9:15 p.m., and closing at 11:00 p.m. The festival kicks into high gear Saturday morning, Aug. 18 at 10:00 a.m., when the Carnation Festival Parade wends its way down 38th Ave. The festival and village reopen at noon, with the first circus performance at 1:00 p.m., followed by additional shows at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. Hreworlcs are repeated at 9:15p.m., and the festival and village remain open untilll:OO p.m. Additional circus performances are Saturday & Sunday, Aug. 19, 25 and 26, at 1:00,4:00 and 7:00p.m. Two 7p.m. weeknight shows are offered Thursday & Friday, Aug. 23 &24. The Italian Village opens at noon both weekends, closing ll:OOp.m. on Sun., Aug. 19, 8:00p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, and 5:00p.m., Sunday, Aug. 26. According to Zoppe' Circus, its heritage goes back to 1842, when young Frencli street performer Napoleone Zoppe'wandered into a plaza in Budapest, Hungary, looking for work, and saw equestrian ballerina Ermengilda, wowing the crowd (and Napoleone) with her graCe and showmanship. However, since Napoleone was a clown, Ermengilda's father saw him as beneath her and disapproved of their relationship. The two ran away to Venice, Italy, and founded the circus that still bears their name. Alberto Zoppe•, Napoleone's great- grandson, inherited the circus almost 100 years later. A grand equestrian in his own right, Alberto toured Europe with the circus since his youth, forging many friendships, including one with actor/director Orson Welles. Welles persuaded Alberto to take a role in a small film, which led to a role ifl Cecil B. De Mille's "The Greatest Show on Earth," as well as a job p~ucing circuses for Ringling Brothers. Alberto, along with his wife Sandra, their children, Giovanni, Tosca ~ Carla, and their spouses have all been active at one time or another in the family business.

ZOPPE' ITALIAN FAMILY CIRCUS PROPOSAL AND FORECAST FOR 2013/2014/2015 2013 Performance Dates: August16ili,17ili,18ili August 21st, 22nd, 23rd August 24ili, 25m ~ .. ~ Presented by: ~of Wlieat~dge Location: Anderson Park 4355 Field Street Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 EVENT OVERVIEW The first year of the Zoppe' Italian Family Circus event in Wheat Ridge, Colorado was successful in accomplishing these goals: • • • • • • • Addition of a high quality main attraction to the Carnation Festival line-up helping to bring the festival to the next level Provided a reasonably priced entertainment option for Wheat Ridge families Created a partnership with jeffco Schools allowing students the opportunity to attend a special field trip performance to learn about circus arts Provided local businesses the opportunity to gain exposure through the event Promoted the City of Wheat Ridge as an entertainment destination The event generated revenues to cover nearly 60% of the event expenses Overall response from attendees was excellent and very positive SUGGESTIONS FOR 2013 With the first year data we can now make assumptions based on the current info and have a more realistic budget. Based on my experience I would like to offer suggestions on how to get the circus event profitable and self-funded within the next two years. Following are the suggestions to consider for 2013: • Re-locate the circus to the grassy area at the front of the park to get exposure from 44111 Ave (This will not only help sell more tickets but it will save the soccer field from turf damages and loss of use) • Book the circus early so we can get the Friday night performance included in the schedule (Booking before New York means they work around us instead of us working around them as we did this year) • Add $5,000 more to increase the marketing efforts and signage (increasing in this area should help reach the goal of 20% increase in ticket sales) • Downsize the Italian Village to make it more intimate and vendor-friendly or possibly delete the Village completely and only have the circus • Allow Carnation Festival to determine how they would like to handle the alcohol/beverage portion of the event • Fine tune the ticket selling process to increase onlinejoutlet pre-sales • Work on sponsorship sales now (SO% of all sponsorship dollars spent on following year's events is determined before December 3Pt) • Work on increasing the jeffco Schools field trips to 4 performances In conclusion, Get Connected Events would propose the City of Wheat Ridge consider contracting the Zoppe' Circus with GCE serving as the circus producer for both 2013 and 2014 allowing the event to reach its full potential.

This project would serve to convert this existing system to a sanitary sewer/conventional flush type toilet system . The project would provide a turnkey renovated building which would meet all Title II ADA 2010 standards for state and local government facilities. The renovation will include demolition and removal of the existing plumbing, and sewer composting system, and the installation of a new plumbing and flush toilet system, sanitary sewer and sewer pump system, electrical and heating system and upgrades, a concrete foundation, and renovation of existing concrete flatwork. PRIOR ACTION: This project was approved in the adoption ofthe 2012 budget. FINANCIAL IMPACT: A Request for Qualifications was solicited from professional design/build firms for renovation design and construction of the existing restroom located at the Youngfield Trailhead. On June 12, 2012, two responsive submittals were received. The selection committee evaluated and Council Action Form October 8, 2012 Page 2 ranked the qualifications. Based on project team experience, finn capabilities, past experience, approach and pricing, White Construction Group of Castle Rock, CO was the number one ranked finn. Pricing was negotiated. The cost of the Y oungfield restroom renovation project is $134,449 to be charged to the Conservation Trust Fund account 54-601-800-877. The cost is inclusive of all labor, materials, and equipment needed for design, surveying, tie-ins, storm water compliance, and construction. BACKGROUND: The existing restroom was built in spring of 1994 and contained a self-composting facility made by Clivus Multrum, Inc. Included in the construction were a men's and women's restroom and a drinking fountain. The Y oungfield restroom consists of masonry construction and a laminated wood deck roof construction. A metal roof system was added due to damage from the July 2009 stonn. The Clivus Multrum composter was installed in the basement and consists of the large tank with bulking agent, two liquid storage tanks, a liquid pump system, graywater system, ventilation system, and fire suppression system. The restroom is open and operates on a year-round basis due to its location adjacent to the Clear Creek Trail. The system has a maintenance schedule based on usage, and, under nonnal operating procedures, needs to be followed closely for successful operation of the com poster. The system has been well-maintained since it was constructed; however, usage has increased and the system now requires daily maintenance. During initial construction, a wood-framed wall was constructed as part of the basement wall for removal of the existing com poster if needed. This wall is in need of repair and will be reconstructed as part of the renovation project. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the renovation of the Youngfield restroom and conversion of the existing self- com posting system to a sanitary sewer/conventional flush type toilet system. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to award RFQ-12-19 Youngfield Restroom Renovation Design/Build Contract to White Construction Group in the amount of$134,449 and approve a contingency amount of$13,445." Or, "I move to deny award of RFQ-12-19 Y oungfield Restroom Renovation Design/Build Contract to White Construction Group in the amount of $134,449 and the approval of a contingency amount of $13,445 for the following reason(s) " Council Action Form October 8, 2012 Page 3 REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY: Rick Murray, Parks, Forestry and Open Space Manager Joyce Manwaring, Parks and Recreation Director Jennifer Nellis, Purchasing Agent ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Laurie Urban and Shannon Hayden from National Research Center (NRC) will be presenting the draft survey results to City Council at the October 15th Study Session. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight data from both the "Draft 2012 Citizen Survey Results" and the "Benchmark Report." The Wheat Ridge Citizen Survey is a bi-annual Citizen Survey serving as our "consumer report card" and is a good information tool for the City to measure our performance. The survey encompasses best practices and is a scientifically/statistically valid sampling of 3,000 households in the City. The last Citizen Survey was administered in July 2008 and was then cut from the budget in 2010 due to the recession . In reviewing the draft report you will find the Executive Summary on page I and the policy topics on page 47 . Council approved the addition of these policy topics prior to distributing the survey. Following this presentation, the Citizen Survey results will be finalized and posted on the City Website. Additionally, we will provide infonnation to the community in the Connections Newsletter in either December or the spring edition of 2013. If you have any questions prior to the Study Session , please do not hesitate to contact me at 303-235-2826 . lhmg Attachment: I. Draft 2012 Citizen Survey Report
