History The SMSC have long sought to attract tourists to the Prior Lake area generally and their facilities specifically for commercial purposes. Most recently the SMSC have made significant improvements to their facilities in anticipation of the Super Bowl and future large-scale events. With Super Bowl LII coming to Minneapolis in the first week of February 2018, the SMSC has arranged for Club Nomadic to build a temporary building on their property. This building will house four major concerts during the evenings of the Super Bowl Celebration the first week in February. While the artists have not yet been announced it is expected they will be internationally acclaimed. About 9000 persons are expected to attend each concert. The Police Department has been working closely with representatives of Club Nomadic, SMSC, Scott County, the Sherriff’s office and others to plan for these events. From the previous Club Nomadic experiences in the San Francisco and Houston Super Bowls, a comprehensive approach has been developed to address the many challenges associated with hosting over 9000 visitors each day for a four-day period. Current Circumstances It is estimated that public safety services for these events will require a 100+ person security force working together with 60 police officers from other metropolitan departments on duty at various times. The City and the SMSC entered into an agreement last month that will provide for the City providing for the recruitment, hiring, training and record-keeping associated with the hiring 60 police officers, and the SMSC paying for the Law Enforcement services. There is a need to have an agreement between the City and the other governmental agencies (cities and counties) to provide additional licensed officers to fill the estimated 60 positions needed each night. Below are the key features of the agreement: 1.Prior Lake will be responsible for hiring, scheduling, time tracking and training the police officers to serve these events. The officers will be considered independent contractors under the agreement. 2.A comprehensive rate per hour which includes wages and benefits is set forth in the agreement. Total personnel cost is expected to be $200,000 to $250,000. The SMSC will provide the city with this amount prior to the events. Actual pay will be based upon hours worked. 3.The SMSC will pay for a supplemental insurance policy associated with the event raising liability limits from $2 million to $3 million which are deemed to be appropriate by our insurer LMCIT. 4.The agreement may be terminated by either party based upon cancellation of the event or upon breach of contract by the other party. ISSUES: The Club Nomadic agreement is an excellent example of the City of Prior Lake and working together with other agencies to fill a need. It is expected that the events at Mystic Lake Casino will also bring tourists who want to enjoy the Minnesota Experience. The city, area businesses and the SMSC are working together to identify ways to bring tourists to our downtown, the lakes and Lakefront Park to give visitors a true taste of the Prior Lake Community. While the event is two months away, approval of this agreement as soon as possible is desirable to assure there is sufficient time to recruit, employ and train the police officers needed to complete the contemplated responsibilities. The city attorney has been extensively involved in the completion of this agreement. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The agreement provides for reimbursement payments by the city at a specified rate for all associated personnel, insurance and administrative costs so the impact of this agreement should be minimal. The other governmental agencies will approve this agreement as they make commitments over the next 30 days. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and second as part of the consent agenda to adopt a Resolution Approving a Cooperative Law Enforcement Agreement the City of Prior Lake and other Governmental Agencies Related to the 2018 Club Nomadic Event. 2.Motion and second to remove this item from the consent agenda for additional discussion.
