Pillars:	Optimize the Addison Brand

AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss the Future Operation of the Addison Conference Centre.

BACKGROUND:

In March 2020 the Addison Conference Centre closed temporarily due to the local, state and federal guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The closure was extended through Fiscal Year 2021 due to the negative impact the pandemic has had on Hotel Fund revenue (which funds the Addison Conference Centre).

In preparation for Fiscal Year 2022, staff will present an overview of the Addison Conference Centre's past operations and financials, as well as a comparison with similar municipal facilities. Staff will also present several options for how to proceed with the Addison Conference Centre, including operational aspects and potential impacts on the Hotel Fund. Staff seeks Council direction regarding the future operation of the facility.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff requests direction from Council.
